Dudley (UK Parliament constituency)
Dudley was a parliamentary constituency centred on the town of Dudley in Worcestershire (now in the West Midlands).
It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system.
History
The borough of Dudley returned two members to Parliament in 1294, Benedict Andrew and Ralph Clerk de Duddlegh, but not to any subsequent one.
The constituency was created by the Reform Act 1832 for the 1832 general election. It was abolished for the February 1974 general election, when it was replaced by the new Dudley East and Dudley West constituencies, which expanded beyond the town's historic boundaries to include Coseley and part of Sedgley in Dudley East (previously in the old Bilston constituency), as well as Kingswinford, Brierley Hill, and the remainder of Sedgley in Dudley West. All of these areas had been incorporated into the Dudley borough in 1966.

Iowa people
The Iowa (also spelled Ioway), also known as the Báxoǰe, are a Native American Siouan people. Today they are enrolled in either of two federally recognized tribes, the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma and the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska.
With the Missouria and the Otoe, the Ioway are the Chiwere-speaking peoples, claiming the Ho-Chunks as their "grandfathers." Their estimated population of 1,100 (in 1760) dropped to 800 (in 1804), a decrease caused mainly by smallpox, to which they had no natural immunity.
In 1837, the Iowa were moved from Iowa to reservations in Brown County, Kansas, and Richardson County, Nebraska. Bands of Iowa moved to Indian Territory in the late 19th century and settled south of Perkins, Oklahoma, becoming the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma.
Name
Their name has been said to come from ayuhwa ("asleep"). Early European explorers often adopted the names of tribes from the ethnonyms which other tribes gave them, not understanding that these differed from what the peoples called themselves. Thus, ayuhwa is not an Ioway word. The word Ioway comes from Dakotan ayuxbe via French aiouez. Their autonym (their name for themselves) is Báxoje, pronounced [b̥aꜜxodʒɛ] (alternate spellings: pahotcha, pahucha,), which translates to "grey snow". Báxoje has been incorrectly translated as "dusted faces" or "dusty nose", since the Ioway words use different consonants.
Iowa, Louisiana
Iowa is a town in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 2,996 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Lake Charles Metropolitan Statistical Area.
History
The history of this region is filled with stories of the early Midwestern settlers from Kansas, Illinois and Iowa, of the Acadians (Cajuns), and of Jean Lafitte's pirates. The community of Iowa was developed in the mid-19th century.
The railroad that cut through this country brought settlers who were lured to the prairie land for rice farming, cattle raising and later oil fields. Much of southwest Louisiana was developed by the North American Land and Timber Co. Seaman A. Knapp, president of the Iowa State College of Agriculture, was engaged in 1885 to demonstrate the suitability of the region for rice production. Knapp attracted a number of Iowans to settle the area. The settlers were lured to this area by advertisements published in newspapers in the midwestern states.
Iowa experienced a growth boom when oil was struck in 1930 and oil companies came to try their luck in the Iowa oil and gas fields. Even though this was the Great Depression era, Iowa thrived as more men came to work in the oil fields.

Now c'mon and tear da club up,
Toss and floss 100,
Even if you don't want it,
But if ya got it flaunt it.
Angeldust get the jail break,

Snakes can slither like robbers into a bank,
My idea of a joke is no high school prank.
Call me on da phone and see what ya want,
Cause my three 6 mafia presents world domination.
Verse one (keisha):
Couldn't alwayz pay ya back,
Because I knew you would go buy crack.
I can't believe that he dropped me,
But now I know ya got me ohhhh.
Chorus (total and three 6 mafia):
Couldn't bring home the bacon,
Prepare for a world domination.
Couldn't bring home the bacon,
Prepare for world domination.
Verse 2 (kima):
Hey baby before we get in the mood,
What kind of work do you do?

Only you know about what you say boy,
Can you bring home the bacon or what?
Ohhhhh
Repeat chorus
Rap (gangsta boo):
Ready to tell you all,
That I like to ball take me to the mall?
Bring home the bacon cause satisfaction is waiting,
Anticipation can chill wit cream,
And still play it all mean.
Take it to the wrist the ice and the diamonds,
We can do the french kiss once I know what your about,
There can be a miracle when you believe,
Because I ride in a b-e-n-t-l-e but y?
