[edit] Lyrics
I just added the lyrics to the song. The song is, I'm sure, still under copyright; however, I posit that the posting the lyrics of the song is educational in regards to the song's status as the state song of Oklahoma. (I am not a lawyer). Opinions? -- Gridlock Joe 04:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- This question has been unanswered for some time. :) According to the current state of Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs, lyrics are not permitted unless known to be in public domain. I have accordingly removed them. --Moonriddengirl 15:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Don't add the lyrics. The R&H Organization defends its copyright on all their compositions and has been known to bill people for hundreds of dollars if they discover a past infringement or performance without their approval. Here's an example: The Pride of Oklahoma is going to participate in the 2007 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and would like to play the song while in the parade and on the air, just as they play it during the fall – but the parade people won't let us _unless_ we find the actual physical document that licenses or waives copyright to the University of Oklahoma. We're 90% sure that it's somewhere in George Nigh's document archives, which at the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. If it's not or if it can't be found, you won't hear "Oklahoma!" on Thanksgiving Day. - KrakatoaKatie 02:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
