South Carolina State Song

DemWit wants your suggestions for a new state song for South Carolina.

My friend Bill Sumrall of Louisiana has suggested “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina.”

I submit “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?”

Get lyrical!

    Chris Smith, a fan of “West Side Story” is singing …

    “Maria, I just kissed a girl named Maria …”

    On top of Ole Sparky... should fit the bill, since he talked about their 'sparkin' time'. Then end it with, "My sparkin' days are over, my sparkin' lights are out..."

    Since his bags (under his eyes) were still packed, it might not yet be over!

    OK, OK . . . so I admit I read the e-mails. The first song that came to mind as I read the "tender" entries was "Tenderly," but then there's also "Fascination," another (a)rousing romantic ditty:

    It was fascination
    I know
    And it might have ended
    Right then, at the start
    Just a passing glance
    Just a brief romance
    And I might have gone
    On my way
    Empty hearted

    It was fascination
    I know
    Seeing you alone
    With the moonlight above
    Then I touch your hand
    And next moment
    I kiss you
    Fascination turned to love...
    =========

    Bless their hearts.

    And, umm, what about Ricky Nelson's "Traveling Man"?
