Not really a patriotic song when you look at the context and lyrics...

The thread will probably end up being Simon & Garfunkeled (just list songs with "America" in the title) anyway

I figure it's only a matter of time before the people who use the inane phrase "Merica" jump in with their personal favorite Toby Keith poetry.

The phrase " 'merica' " is one of my pet peeves.

I don't mind it so much.

I also really don't mind Toby Keith's long list of American Loving Ballads.

American Soldier was a pretty decent song, IMO.

and my contribution:

America - Waylon Jennings

I mean, I get it.. the man loves his country, don't we all. It's just become redundant and somewhat of a clutch in lapses of creativity.

That's what makes it great. Sure, he's loud and obnoxious, but that's just what you need when you're expressing your xenophobic love of this great land!

To each his own, but I enjoy Keith's uncreative obnoxious xenophobia.

It's a shameless ploy to sell records...
