Three Minute Tour of Texas

[mrdreamjeans]

Recently, theoctothorpe created a meme centered around "favorite names of towns". I replied Round Top, Texas, population 77, because my friend Scott created a business called Square Bottom Pens .. Get it .. Round Top, Square Bottom ... *cheesy smirk*. Well, this video came to me via email. It's a parody of "I've Been Everywhere, Man" using names of Texas towns. The video creator traveled over 10,000 miles within the state on his motorcycle to get this footage. Bet there are some Texas towns sung about that you never knew existed:) Enjoy!

Wonder if there's a town named "Mattress" too! There's a Davenport, Iowa:)

You're welcome! I was surprised how many names he got into the song in three minutes .. Luckenback, twice!

I'll have to give that one a peek. In Louisiana where I grew up, one of my favorite town names was Dry Prong!

I was surprised to hear my sister's new town mentioned. It's about 200 people ... The guy got around! :)

Loved the video - how fun! Thanks for sharing. D'ya know who's singing? - I liked the voice.
This is old, but... when I was a kid growing up in Lancaster, Pa., my family would take Sunday afternoon 'rides' in the car (a 1953 Buick Roadmaster). Two of the rural Pa. towns we passed by were "Blue Ball" right next to "Paradise" ... I was too young to get the joke, but thought the names memorable just the same :0)

Hugs!

How fun!! I always like the Indian names of the towns in the Susquehana Valley, like Talamanca.

"Blue Ball"? Did they name that town after my condition? LOL! Trust me, it's no paradise:)

HUGS!

He sang about some pretty obscure places, didn't he? :)
