Default I need "American Music"

My parents are visiting, so they will see the granddaughter for the first time tomorrow, which is nice.

Plane lands at 1AM CST at O'Hare and I was thinking about getting some music for the Ipod that is 'American' So if you brainiacs could think of some tracks that relate and maybe post the You Tube video of it I'd be very great full.

Disclaimer, I don't want. "Born in the USA"

Also, I'm thinking of holding up a sign that says WANKERS as only the British people getting off of the plane will know what it means

Maybe, welcome to the jungle is a good start.

Yep - that's exactly it.


"On the boats and on the planes - they're coming to America."

Can you imagine that blasting out of the airport loudspeaker system?

Well - it's an old song about everybody wanting to get into the big great US of A.
Whoever wrote a song about coming to England?

I can imagine the first few lines if one were written today for today's immigrants ................

Across the seas and by whatever means,
they want to get to Great Britain.
