I wrote this song to help myself (and others) remember the states' capitals.
lyrics
Singing out the capitals will help you to remember. So play this song just once a week from October to December. It won’t be long until you learn them all and it will make you smarter. But, if you forget to listen once a week, it will only make things harder.
