Songs About America...But Not Really

Here's a collection of songs with "America," "U.S.A.," or some similar derivative in their titles, most of which have little or nothing to do with our country. In a future post, I'll put together a group of songs which actually mention America more than just in passing. But for now, this is all you get. Enjoy – or roll your eyes. Both responses could be justified.  ~ JH

Songs With "Give" In The Title

Yes, this is another entry in my seemingly endless pseudo-series of "Songs With (Fill-In-The-Blank) In The Title." And yes, the next post will be "Songs With 'Take' In The Title." So, I'm predictable. What's wrong with that? I can say that, on this post and its follow-up, I took time to ensure the quality -- and not just the quantity -- of songs included. This is a really good collection of otherwise unrelated songs, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!  ~  JH
