There have been a few dozen times in my 40-odd years that I'm really happy I remember the lyrics to "fifty nifty United States" that I learned in 3rd grade.

same! always comes in handy for at least one or two questions at trivia night.

'in our calm objective opinion, rhode island is the best of the fifty nifty united states...'

This song is the only reason I can list all the states in alphabetical order... but only as far as Maine, because I can't remember the tune after that.

I immediately tried to do this thing and then got 49 states in under 4 minutes while I spent the next 6 minutes looking at the list being convinced the site had a bug because my mind operates in a world where Wisconsin is not real

One night at trivia the question was "this is the only state that begins in R" and only two of the teams got it. So you're not alone.

I have a distinct memory of playing Scattegories as a kid, letter R, U.S. State. If at least six of us, only one of us was able to think of the state we were all sitting in.
