Maryland’s State Song was a Diss Track
Podcast: Ridiculous HistoryPublished On: Tue Jun 05 2018
Description: On the first listen, Maryland's old state song sounds pretty innocuous. There's the usual lauding of the state, a refrain based on "O Tannenbaum" and so on.

Join Ben and Noel as they dive into the strange origin story of "Maryland, My Maryland".
