9. It is in Michigan, it could mean a place where the Sauks lived, and Simon and Garfunkel sang about hitchhiking from there. Where (Lefty Frizzell)?
From Quiz Down in Country country
Answer:
Saginaw
The song is "Saginaw, Michigan" (1964), which earned Lefty Frizell a Grammy nomination. The meaning of Saginaw is uncertain, but one prevalent theory is that it is an Ojibwe word, meaning "where the Sauk (tribe) were". In the song, the narrator leaves Saginaw for Alaska and Klondyke, which isn't in Alaska at all. Klondike - of the famous gold rush- is in the Yukon in Canada, but this is a romantic song, not a geography lesson. However, he yearns for home and the girl he loves, so he returns and sells his claim in Alaska to the girl's father. The Simon and Garfunkel reference is to the song "America".
