Because it makes polling much, much easier I’m going to keep a likes limit to make the poll. 3 likes and you’re in the poll.

And displayed in the nightstand of my mind
Are pictures of you from the summertime
Swimmin’ in the Delaware, wringin’ out your long blonde hair

The Menzingers - Hello Exile

A Chuck Berry song referencing Delaware, this is probably the most DiS adjacent cover version.

It’s in a list of places, but fuck it, it’s Delaware.

We on a world tour with Muhammad, my man
Going each and every place with the mic in their hand
Houston, Delaware, DC, Dallas

Does feel a bit like the Republican primary from this point. I’ll nominate Nikki Haley Louden Wainwright III anyway who went to school in Delaware as detailed in:

Louden Wainwright III - School Days

In Delaware when I was younger
I would live the life obscene
In the Spring I had great hunger.
I was Brando. I was Dean

so we’re all agreed? Marquee Moon wins, and we move on to Florida?
