A new location for this capitalPierre is the capital of South Dakota. Pierre is the only state capital to lie on a timezone demarcation line. Pierre is the subject of a joke in the song "Capital," performed by the popular a cappella group Rockapella and composed by Sean Altman. The song lists every U.S. state capital except for Pierre; during the song's final fade-out, a voice can be heard exclaiming, "Pierre! Pierre! We forgot Pierre!" A subsequent track on the album features the then-mayor of Pierre, Gary Drewes, chastising Rockapella for the omission (and their mispronunciation of the town's name). In the 1990s, Pierre was known as Suicide City/Town for having a large cluster of suicides during that time.
