When 成人X站 Radio last week revisited聽the origins of the 1990s version of the state song, 鈥淲ashington, My Home鈥 by homegrown band Sicko, 成人X站 Radio had reached out to see if Governor Inslee was aware of the recording, and, if so, what he thought of it.

Inslee was (understandably) too busy managing the state’s COVID-19 response to initially weigh in on its merits.

But early Tuesday, a member of his staff provided the following statement from the governor:

Yes, I have been for 22 years now, at least when I am not humming Roobtubas and the Rondondas鈥 鈥楥atchy in Wenatchee.鈥 (I liked their 1969 version best — by 1998 they had sold out to the Man and went all corporate.)

I always thought that Sicko spoke to a whole generation of Washingtonians much more than (they weren鈥檛 edgy enough to use 鈥淲alla Walla.鈥 If they鈥檇 been ‘Gary Puckett and the Walla Walla’ we would never have heard of the Beatles).

Most people never knew that if you played Sicko鈥檚 original 45 backwards, , 鈥楽atan鈥檚 in the Pasayten, Satan鈥檚 in the Pasayten.鈥

Yes, Washington is my home and remember, if you are ever alone, click your Chuck鈥檚 heels three times and say, 鈥淭here鈥檚 no place like the Kingdome.鈥

成人X站 Radio will next ask the Governor what he thought of Ross Shafer鈥檚 1985 attempt to install 鈥淟ouie, Louie鈥 as the state song.

You can hear Feliks every Wednesday and Friday morning on Seattle鈥檚 Morning News and read more from him聽here. If you have a story idea, please email Feliks聽here.
