[78-L] Titular opposites

I think that either "I'm Going South" or "I Wants To Stand On Dixieland"
would be better opposites to "California Here I Come" than is
"Massachusetts."  For the latter I would suggest 
"M I S S I S S I P P I".

Not true.  She sang the song on an airplane, but all of the allusions in
the song lyrics relate to a ship, such as "the sunny beaches on
Peppermint Bay" and "happy landings on a Chocolate Bar".  But "Big Rock
Candy Mountain" might be a good opposite to Good Ship, as might "Salt
Peanuts" be good for both.
