Nevada Day, again...

So I have decided it's important to share Nevada Day with my crew at work, which is fun. Living in Vegas of the 30 of us, only 5 are natives, 21 have been here less than 5 years, and 6 less than 1 year. So I used my pre-shift time to talk a little about the state, which included all the state symbols. I mentioned the bird, the fossil, the tree, the metal, the gems, and of course the State song.
"Can you sing it?"
Well as it turns out, I can. I belted out a vibrato-ey rendition of Home Means Nevada to the assembled room. The other four natives joined in once I hit the chorus. Much fun was had.
"Are there other songs?"
Well sure! There's M....., er, uhhh. Wait I know this. I remember other songs from my childhood, we were practically indoctrinated until high school, but I can only remember bits and pieces, like a dream from last night. I told them maybe tomorrow.
So I went online and searched. I remember the song "My name is just nevada" but I can't remember most of the words. And the web has failed me. Nowhere can I find a single reference to it. It's like they never exsisted.
Now what do I tell the team?
