I’m pretty sure that the English lyrics became official around 1980. All of a sudden, the rest of us English-speaking elementary school kids had to sing the anthem every morning before classes started. Just so we all knew that our proud country had another official set of anthem lyrics.
The above is strictly from my own memories, of course.
Great to see so many okies on the board even tho they seem to be just passing through.

I was raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where the motto was ‘That’s not fog, it’s the paper mill’
I couldn’t stand the smell any longer so I moved to Georgia, Stone Mountain, that is, a 'burb of Atlanta. The real motto has been said already, but if you drive through Stone Mountain on a Sunday, you’ll find the motto REALLY is: ‘the place most likely to see a girl take her top off’

Hope you take a look at housing prices here before you decide to relocate though. I saw an ad for a room for rent today (one room in a house) for $725 a month plus utilities. (!) And that’s pretty standard.
Of course, it’s easier if you have someone to share the rent with…
