I saw this on 'the little box of horrors' on Channel 4 so i thought I'd come and comment. I'm from the UK where we are not so crazy about our country, unless there is a war or a royal gets married :P. Anyway, you can love your country but i just think things like this really helped to give Americans the stereotypes they currently have. I also think that the 4th of July is cheapened by the consumerism and the money made just from selling something with the flag on it, probably not made in the US.
Dennis, As a veteran 0f 26yrs service I want to say thank you for a great song and video. It was very heart warming. To those of you who didn't like this video or love America why are you here. Pack up and get out and save us all some greif.
Why is Dennis not singing no more? Does he get inspired only by dead americans? Is he waiting for another 9/11? I don't get it. Obviously he is talented and can sing better than me, most of the youtube commenters or american idol wannabees. So create a new song Dennis. What are you waiting for?
When the fantasy has ended/and all the children are gone/Something good inside me/helps me to carry on/I ate some bugs/I ate some grass/I used my hand to wipe my tears/To kiss your mouth/I break my vows/no no no no no no way Jose/Unless you want to/Then we break our vows together
I just love this video, what a superb singer he is and a great song, thats what I like about the Americans, theyre not embarrassed to say what they feel about their country, good for them!
The singing was okay. Clearly, effort was spent making this video, and it's pretty good. The lyrics are also well-written. It's a nice little rock ballad. I just cannot get past "Ameraca."
Amazing ! made me feel American..and I`m not , as Im English/Canadian and if someone had wrote a song like this, but for the British/Canadians who are fighting out there also, it would make me very proud.indeed !!!
True story: Dennis "Danger" Madalone got his USA jersey when he played for the USA men's national basketball team in the 1982 World Championship Games (not the Olympics); We won a silver with him running the point. He had the athleticism of a young Julius Erving, the skills and court-vision of "Pistol" Pete Maravich and the leadership of Bill Russell. He also invented fruit juices and rhyming, so, he's got that going for him, too.
il n'a pas le droit de prendre une tragédie aussi grande que le 11septembre pour faire quelque chose d'aussi poche que ca...C'est meme pas un homage...
I love the fact that the scene with the woman in the cemetary (1:34 into the video) was apparently done at the Los Angeles Memorial Pet Park. (5:10 mark during the credits which last as long as the actual song)
I have never seen a better video in my entire life. I used to be a left wing pussy liberal but now I just want to go kill some fuckin' Arabs asap! Thanks Dennis!!!
