	wow excellent references i missed before, its a great song even when i didn't understand the lyrics anyway!

No Picture Harley Wanna Be	#3 by Harley Mckenzie at Oct 6, 2006 at 8:04 AM EST
	One of the best songs on SA. I also missed the fat state and sports references, but then again, I don't live in Michigan. This song is kinda like the "Californication" of Michigan.

No Picture sean Wanna Be	#4 by sean ewings at Dec 3, 2006 at 12:40 AM EST
	This song is so beautiful. I think it's about how one should enjoy life to the fullest, it's sweet but strong (cinnamon). It's like in Michagen he's in heaven; it's his childhood and her smile and his future. Anyone can life there, and it's really dreamy! he makes it seem that u can get away from anything there.. it's his perfect medacine. people make mistakes, they aren't innocent. you can't always hear the beautiful music of life but it's there.. michagen is his heaven, i don't know if it really exists, sort of a deamy ideal world.. he grew up there though... he did drugs there and rehab...

No Picture ben Lead Player	#5 by ben Tee at Apr 30, 2007 at 11:46 AM EST
	The 3rd (final chorus) is incredible...between Keidis's voice, a great fuzz/distortion sounding guitar, and an awesome solo...its perfect

No Picture Grimani Wanna Be	#6 by Grimani at May 24, 2007 at 6:18 AM EST
	There is a real traditionally indian sound to this song. I love it.

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#7 by Chris at Aug 18, 2007 at 2:09 AM EST
	"A rainy Lithuanian Who's dancing as an Indian" Guess it refers to Anthony, since his great-grandfather is from from Lithuania and his mother got some Mohican blood.
