it was very funny and i wish i could find it online so i could listen to it again.
Any ideas?

Very funny song on NPR? Is that possible?

Just kidding! I would guess you were listening to Garrison Keiler's Prairie Home Companion radio show, plenty about it on the net I'm sure.

If it isn't just type MINNESOTA in the YouTube Browser and several things and alternates come up.

This might be what Herbrocks was talking about, I got this link off the NPR site just type in the name in the Search bar and see what comes up when you type in "Minnesota funny song played on NPR."

I guarantee you heard the song on Prarie Home Companion, it's always about Minnesota. You might try to call/email your local NPR station, they may be able to tell you the number or original air date (it may have been a rerun) or the PHC show last Sat. That could help narrow your search, it is a long running show with hundreds of episodes.
