The song "Michigan" by Mario is a sultry and seductive track about finding love in an elusive location. In this song, Mario is acting as a guide, and he is telling the woman who is interested in finding the love she seeks that she has to follow his directions. He explains that the place she is looking for is not in the phonebook, and what she has heard about it is all wrong. The only way to find this elusive good love is to know someone who has been there before - and that is where Mario comes in.
Mario provides explicit directions to the woman, directing her to take Touchin' Boulevard, turn right at Kissing Street, and keep going until she finds herself immersed in good love. He reassures her that he knows the way and that she can trust him to guide her to the love she seeks. He promises her that there are no stops, no traffic lights, and no traffic on the way, and that he will take care of everything, as he is a professional behind the wheel.
The song conveys a sense of sensuality and mystery, as the listener is drawn in by the sultry and smooth sound of Mario's voice. As he guides the woman to the place she seeks, he also seduces her, promising to stay with her as long as she wants, and assuring her that he has the skills necessary to take her where she wants to go.
Overall, the song is a message to the listener: if you want something, you have to pursue it actively, and sometimes you need guidance from someone who knows the way.

Considering how this cleared up a potential BCS controverys and paved the way for the epic Texas-USC Rose Bowl, Mario Manningham should get a fruit basket every year from the BCS.
