You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Kansas City'''" is a song from the 1943 [[musical theatre|musical]] ''[[Oklahoma!]]''. The plot set-up for it is the return of cowboy Will Parker from an excursion to the [[Kansas City, Missouri|city of the same name]]. He describes his experiences in song. The song describes the wonders of the city and its entertainments (from the viewpoint of a country bumpkin), all reprising with the concept that the conditions (in 1906) represent the ultimate in progress, with little more expected.

For the [[Oklahoma! (1955 film)|1955 motion picture]], a few lyrics about a burlesque stripteaser had to undergo minor changes to pass film censorship. In the original Broadway musical, Will sings:
((poemquote|I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel.
But later in the second act, when she began to peel, ...
She proved that everything she had was absolutely real!))

For the film, these were changed to:
((poemquote|I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel.
But then she started dancing and her dancing made me feel
That every single thing she had was absolutely real!))

==Building==
The song includes the lyrics:
((poemquote|Everything's up to date in Kansas City
They gone about as fer as they can go
They went an' built a skyscraper seven stories high
About as high as a buildin' orta grow.))

The tallest buildings there in 1906 (the era when the musical is set) were the 12-story [[New York Life Insurance Building (Kansas City)|New York Life Insurance Building]] and the newly built 17-story [[Commerce Trust Tower]]. A major seven-story building at the time was [[The Jones Store]] at 12th and Main which took up an entire block and was ((convert|500000|sqft|m2)).

== Covers ==

* Political satirist [[Randy Rainbow]] did a parody of the song, changing it to "Ted and Lindsey!" about public dislike of [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] Senators [[Ted Cruz]] and [[Lindsey Graham]].<ref>((Citation |title=TED and LINDSEY! - A Randy Rainbow Song Parody |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSSx5DXAO5I |language=en |access-date=2022-07-23))</ref>
