I spent 5 minutes with someone on the phone last week with someone who was from the southern part of Missouri and he declared up and down it was pronounced Missour-a or Missour-uh. The next call happened to be someone from the northern part of Missouri and he called me crazy for pronouncing it Missour-uh. Then he called the southern part of Missouri crazy for pronouncing it wrong. I figured I'd ask.
Edit: Happy Birthday MLE

Reason: MLE
I think Missour-eye is probably a lot closer to a deep southern accent attempting to say it than someone actually from the state. Either way it's a joke, I'm from NC

I got me a complication
And it's an only child
Concernin' my reputation
As something more than wild
I know it serves me right
But I can't sleep at night
Have to hide my face
Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace
I won't cry out for justice
Admit that I was wrong
I'll stay in hibernation
'Til the talk subsides to gone
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
Guess I'm down to size
To size
Can't seem to talk about
The things that bother me
Seems to be
What everybody has
Against me
Oh, oh, all right
Here's the situation
And how it really stands
I'm out of circulation
I've all but washed my hands
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
Guess I'm down to size
To siiiiiize
Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk
