The first song I can remember "writing." Circa 1986. Re-recorded here for anterity.
I vaguely remember riding around in the back of my parents brown oldsmobile, and double checking with my mom that Oklahoma was, in fact, a state. I was very relieved not to have to change those carefully thought out words.
I used to sing into a cassette player and record myself singing these silly songs all the time. Once I managed an entire tapes worth of singing, narration, and jumping on the bed while thinking out loud, and gave it to my dad as a father's day present. My group was called The Bunny Wunnies, I think after a fake children's book from a comic strip? I guess that was my first album. What I wouldn't give to hear that now, though I think it's long gone...
The melody to this masterpiece is, of course, La Cucaracha.

and for the record, one could argue that not only is one a city and one is a state, both are cities as well.
