My guess is all 50 and in alphabetical order.

Elementary school chorus ftw.

I missed five of them: Connecticut, Maryland, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma

Can't believe I missed Connecticut and Ohio!
(Any way, not bad for someone not American ;) )

I had to google "Connecticut" There's a silent "c" in there I kept forgetting and couldn't get it to take.

After an alphabetical rendition of fifty nifty united states...

I'd point out that the good ol' US of A doesn't have a monopoly on the concept of states. So, I could hit 60 or so in about 4 minutes, then I'd be stuck.

I got them all alphabetically in 3:36. I stopped and went through the song after getting about halfway through to make sure I hadn't forgotten any. I had a heck of a time spelling Louisiana.

Oh, and quick way to make $10 on a bet. Mexico is a state.
"I didn't say one of the 50 United States... it's a state in the country of Mexico."

I swear I would've had more states if I didn't take 5 minutes trying to spell that stupid worthless craphole junkyard of a state! :p (jk.. I have no opinion at all about Mass other than it's hard to spell)
