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?
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.
