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
