Imagine This!
Imagine that you are riding on a tour bus in a rural part of a foreign country with citizens of many different countries, e.g., Italy, Japan, Australia, Belgium, etc. You are the only American on the bus. Suddenly, you are asked to introduce yourself including your name, where you are from, occupation, etc. Then … you are asked to sing a song representative of your country. If possible, the song should allow others to join you, if possible. You have about 1 minute to decide. What do you sing?

Oh no...wow , that is a tough one. Could be an embarassing one depending on the song you chose.
ReplyDeleteHow about Born in the U.S.A. by good ole' Bruce Springsteen??
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Rock on BROTHER!!!!
She's my Cherry Pie! Warrant!

ReplyDeleteOh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener, that is what I'd truly like to be.
