Thread Name: Lyr Req: Off to California
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Off to California
Of course, the lyrics Radriano posted are almost exactly the Off to Philadelphia lyrics in the Digital Tradition, which is sung to "Off to California," a tune that doesn't have words. Is that clear now?

"Muirsheen Durkin," a song which is sung to the tune of "Muirsheen Durkin," which DOES have words, is a song on the same topic; as is "Off For California," which is sung to the tune of "Oh, Susanna."

And if you ever heard dulcet tones of Riggy's voice, you would swear the man has never been west of Philadelphia nor east of Asbury Park - so if he's singing about going to California, he must be lost.

OK, class, now do we all understand each other now?
