He mentioned Algeria and then later Algiers (probably for rhyme's sake). Algiers is not a country and if it was it would be Algeria.

I can forgive him because he has that fake Paul McCartney accent. AFAIAC, he doesn't pronounce anything correctly.

I'm sure we can find tons of errors if we pick it apart.

Puerto Ricans would agree that they are their own country so I will let that one go, especially since they didn't make it into the 50 states song. Washington DC is a capital, but it's not one of the 50 capitals of the 50 states.

And stuff is out of date. Nine planets? Czechoslovakia? I don't think so.

And capitals is spelled wrong on the question screen. (CAPITOLS)

The difference between capital and capitol (grammar lesson)
