Story about this misheard lyric by: Jessica Childress I was a child when this song came out, and I didn't understand the word 'thrill' at all in this line at the time. I asked my mother what the word was, and she said she thought it was 'threat'. Thereafter I presumed it to be 'threat' for a long time, and perhaps my mother did too. |

Song Parody Fragments:
"Okee From Muskogee"
Better Lyrics:
We dont vote for Obama in Muskogee
We think Palin's a good choice for VeePee
We don't like what's hap'nin down on Wall Street
And we don't care that McCain is 73.
I'm proud to be an Okee from Muskogee
A place where votes count one an' all
We still wave the Conferderate flag down at the courthouse
And Bin Laden's still the biggest thrill of all.
We think Palin's a good choice for VeePee
We don't like what's hap'nin down on Wall Street
And we don't care that McCain is 73.
I'm proud to be an Okee from Muskogee
A place where votes count one an' all
We still wave the Conferderate flag down at the courthouse
And Bin Laden's still the biggest thrill of all.
Original Lyrics:
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball -We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball -We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all
