day 279: Okie From Muskogee

Okie From Muskogee, by Merle Haggard.

“Siri, show me the complete opposite of yesterday’s song.”

This song is a song. That much is true. As you might notice from the interjections, I am singing it ironically. I have no plans to apologize to Merle Haggard or to Muskogee, Oklahoma, but it’s a fun song, either way. Frankly, I suspect Merle might’ve been singing it a little ironically, too. Although he does sound really earnest and kind in the original, to be fair.
