Here's a little silly thing to think about:
How many songs can you name that mention Buffalo in their lyrics:

--"Erie Canal" by Pete Seger
We left that job to go/Back where people loved us once/We're back in Buffalo.
--"Back in Buffalo" by Leo Kottke
And Chippewa is where we go/When we're up in Buffalo/Man them Yankees drink enough to drown.
--"Coming to Your City" by Big and Rich
Wanted man in Buffalo
--"Wanted Man" by Bob Dylan
I'm just here to make people laugh. And to confuse people. Oh, and to irritate people.

When I was an undergrad at Buff State I used to tell people, "Yeah, I go to a college conveniently located next door to an insane asylum*."Originally Posted by granpabob
*I realize the term "insane asylum" is politically incorrect but it is used for comic effect.
