I remember one Lyft ride I gave, I explained I'm normally from Missouri, and some lady called me out for not saying "mi-zor-ugh." I did some poking around, and found its apparently a thing of state pride mostly done by politicians. My mom couldn't remember hearing it.
If I dont get moved onto other things and drive Lyft again, I'm gonna see what people's reaction is when I tell them I'm originally from here.
I do not hear it often, but I do occasionally hear it. Rarely I suppose. I say "mi-zor-e" for the most part unless I am being facetious. Neither of my parents were from the area, nor did we have family there. When I was growing up, I was a little envious that everyone was related in some way. Now. Not so much, but I still love the area and there are many people there that I care about.

I sometimes pronounce it "Misery."

My grandmother was from Missouri, and that's how she pronounced it.

Very funny. I remember seeing this when it first aired on HBO in the early 80's. He did another bit on the schism of religions that was pretty funny and close to the truth too.

It is a classic album. Any coverage of 70's rock should include it.
Thats a song that gets a lot of "I haven't heard that one in awhile."
What does kind of disappoint me, is playing my classic rock playlist while driving people around, no one has commented on Dr Hooks I got Stoned and I Missed It. I, personally, think it's a funny song.
