10. American Woman is actually dissing american girls.

Not too many people know that, but the Guess Who was a group from Canada and wrote the song about how much they didn't like American Women.

American Woman, stay away from me
American Woman, mama let me be
Don't come a hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now Woman, I said stay away
American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

American Woman, get away from me
American Woman, mama let me be
Don't come a knockin' around my door
Don't wanna see your shadow no more
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now Woman, I said get away
American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay

American Woman, said get away
American Woman, listen what I say
Don't come a hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now Woman, get away from me
American Woman, mama let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away now go, go, go
I'm gonna leave you woman
Gonna leave you woman
Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go-o, woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Goodbye American Woman
Goodbye American chick

12. Political song

"I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes"

Sounds a lot like today's America - some things never change.

[SKKY]

11. I'm gonna go with The Boss...

...if only because, for my concert going dollar, there's not a better value. Last time I saw him, in Louisville, he played for 4+ hours. And the same energy on the last song as the first.

21. "America" by Paul Simon

I'm not a huge fan of his, but "America" is one of the 2 or 3 best songs he's ever written. I loved playing it when I was in bands and I still play it on acoustic guitar every so often..
