Rabbitmitten, U.S.A. is the last song in a musical play written by Alan Carriero.The story is a fantastical account of how Michigan came to be shaped the way it is. Have you ever noticed it looks like a giant mitten with a rabbit jumping over it?

The song, Rabbitmitten, U.S.A., was presented by the students of the East Grand Rapids High School Drama department, under the stage direction of Pam Steers and musical direction of Linda Missad. Linda also arranged and created the soundtrack for this performance.

This fun, lively song is performed in a “Glee”-type style and incorporates everything from ballet to hip hop with a surprising rap section in the middle. See if you can recognize the cities and towns that are named.
