When it comes to Oklahoma rock…

Nominate your choice for the Official State of Oklahoma Rock Song. Any song written or performed by an Oklahoman is eligible.

Liberal blogger Rena:

‘Funnel of Love’ by Wanda Jackson should be official Oklahoma Rock Song

Conservative blogger and rock music historian, Charles:

I sent in the one and only song that makes sense to me in this context: Wanda Jackson’s “Funnel of Love” (Capitol 4553, 1961), which offers not one, not two, but three connections to this state:

1. Wanda’s from Maud, and today lives in Moore.
2. The tasty guitar licks are provided by latter-day Tulsan Roy Clark.
3. What could be more Oklahoman than Tornado as Metaphor? I mean, really.
