Sammi, I was about to correct you, but I'm just happy to see you playing along.

See, you can play nice with others. There's hope for you yet.

If you're looking for pro-American, there's George Thorogood's "American Made".

If you're not looking for pro-American, there's Kim Mitchell's "America".

I just filtered based on an instance of "america" in the title. Pro or not. I see Matt Good is up there with a reference to North America!

Let me guess. You're really OJ Boy.

C'mon Sammi, don't leave me in suspense. Surprise me.

I agree American Woman should be on the list but it wouldn't be a friendly USA song, would it?

The song American Woman by Guess Who hit number 1 on Billboard. The entire album was Top 10 in the USA.

So I guess the Americans are anti-American too.

The United States of America is responsible for most of what we know as pop culture. I might not like the government sometimes but I sure like the country.

Now if we could just get IHOP up this way.
