  • WHY IS THE GUY BELOW ME SHOUTING???

  • MY GRAND PARENTS AND ONE AUTN CAME THROUGH THERE, I HAVE NOT FOUND THE BOAT YET, BUT I HAVE FOUND THEY CITY AND WHEN. WE WERE GERMANS LIVING IN RUSSIA, KATHERINE THE GREAT ASK THEM TO COME AND THEN AFTER SHE DIED HER SONS, MADE IT HARD FOR THEM LIVETHERE. THEY ESCAPED, CAME TO NY THEN WENT CO. THEY THEN TRAVELED TO CENTRAL CA. SO, NOT ONLY LOVING NEIL DIAMOND BUT I THINK OF THE HARD TIMES MY FAM HAD TOM HERE WHEN I HEAR IT

  • if you were broke and lived in a shack.....don't tell me you wouldn't try any means to better your life....hypocrites who just think because they were born here that they can tell other people not to come lol.......your ancestors didn't fill out papers and wait....trust me

  • No shit, they're coming to America. That's why we're going broke.

  • @watergawbard Unless you are 100% Native American Indian, you too are an immigrant. You just lucked out because your ancestors travelled here, learned the language & dealt with racist comments such as yours so that you could have a better life. Never forget where you came from.

  • @LennyZMariaElena Go back to Mexico and fix Mexico ya blood sucking beaners

  • Saw this in class, awesome job!

    

  • America is was formed on the British model. Lotsof the rapid growth in the states from the 18 century up over. That came from British capitalist getting a better return on the

    investment in the states than in the British empire. That was the beginning of the end of the empire. Then two world wars finished us as an empire.NOW we see the capitalist from U.S,A and Britain investing heavy in Aisha .A better return on the dollar. Capitalistic has no boundaries there will get richer but the people?

  • Song ALWAYS reminds me of that Cheech Marin film BUT is indeed a classic. Immigrants DO have a hard time when they come BECAUSE sons of immigrants forget their past. The world evolved and continues to evolve. KNOW the past or you're doomed to repeat it.

  • The beaners are coming

  • Comment removed

  • America was a dream for immigrants! Now, it is a nightmare!!!

  • The original America was founded by great immigrants that were willing to work. They did what they had to so that they could make a great country. They sacrificed so much for us.

    A few hundred years later and the people in this country are spitting on the values of what this country was founded on.

    No mutual respect for others. No respect for authority. No backbone to put in the real work anymore. This country is far from what our forefathers envisioned.

  • Khakaztan FTW.

  • Obama's immigration plan is to ruin America to the point that no one would want to come here. It's working as planned.

  • We gained independence from, England. We are not part of England, and so different from England. To begin with we are more relaxed and fun, and I'm sorry but we are our own people. What is ur problem, can't u take the hint. We don't drink tea at 3pm and if your people come here we have no problem, we accept them, we are more welcoming than the Europeans. We love everyone!!!!

  • @THEBIZNESS420 you dont have history though, you stole it lol

  • @THEBIZNESS420 Do you really think that all people in England drink tea in the afternoon? I love the States and the American people but quite frankly you have a misguided view of how we live in modern Britain.We really don't have a much different way of life to yourselves and we are generally tolerant and accepting of others.Anyway I do not intend to offend you, just put you in the picture.Must get back to my gin & tonic with cumcumber sandwhiches, where's that bloody butler got to? ps joke

  • Neil Diamond is a decendent of immigrants.Mine is of English descent and my ancestry goes back before the Revolution,and at the same time had distant relatives loyal to the Crown.Decendents of many nationalities help build this country after our independence and God blessed this country like no other in human history.If all you know is slavery and stealing land from the Indians,then you don't understand America.In spite of that we became great.We are in bleak times,but we don't ave to give up.

  • @GGE47 ... very well said.

  • @benquaidandsmeagol lol the irony is that Australia was founded on immigration *face palm*, that doesn't mean I love Australia any less, Australia kicks ass!

  • Amazing song! USA may not be perfect, but it's the best there is! I may not be proud of every bit of my nation's history, but I am proud to be an American.

  • apknox...I agree with you wholeheartedly - I LOVE GB, and have traveled all over the world...lived in Australia as well and would live there again in a heartbeat. Yet ... that is not the point of this particular song. And the reason Americans feel the way they do is because unlike most countries, we came here of our own free will to escape (usually) the tyranny of other countries (yours included AT THE TIME). We were and still are an unusual EXPERIMENT and are proud to be part of it.

  • awesome song. love it

  • People vote with their feet and not surprisingly they come here.

  • PROUD TO BE AMERICAHN. I WANT TO GET A HUGE EAGLE TATTOO ON MY BACK. bless everyone also, usa is baddass though. . even more betterer than canada,,,,

  • great song, but it is all an illusion, new orleans is poorer than developing countries,and when they needed help the usa didnt care.

  • britain is the country that made you and OWNED you, you forget your roots.

  • That was the point of the Revolution, to leave British roots and have liberty. I don't think anyone cares that Britain "OWNED" us.

  • @hazey571986 ..... Britain did NOT make us. they TRIED to break us - and failed. outnumbered and outgunned we still sent them packing. Dont be mad about that lil Tea Party we threw for you in Boston... Oh and by the way - Your welcome for our saving you from the epic butt kicking Hitler was giving you in WW2.

  • @pittsburghdean02 that is all true....us Bostonians showed them. "Do you know whered youd be without the good ol' USA to protect you?...the smallest fuckin province in the russian empire; thats where!!"....lol

    Although i do like the English, dont get me wrong.

  • @pittsburghdean02 - fuck you, yank

  • @milander007 Not your country, how dare you!!!!! We are the best, so FY!!!!!

  • I might be cmoing to america soon! lol

  • well said to the man below!

  • Fantastic, tks for posting.

  • When I was in grade school, (5th grade I think) we learned this song. We sang it every day, we practiced our hearts out. (at least I did) We were going to sing it at the school play. The day before the play they told us we couldnt sing it because it was to hard for the kindergarteners. So we had to sing some thing different.I have never forgot that.

  • koeniggraetzer Hmmm sounds Deutch. Du bist eine dumbkopfh. I suppose Yep, we interviened in Germany and Italy too... we helped save France, England, and quite possibly the rest of the world... Like where you live. But I can't expect you to be able to intellectually understand "why" about anything as you spout out hate ... Americans gave their lives to keep this world free... Get a life. Do something worthwhile... Constructive. Try communism, or living under pure tyranny. You'll wake up. Maybe.

  • well , well, Jaialai55  the North Americans did not go who demolished Hitler, was the glorious red soviet army...Later hollywood and his millares of idiot films, would be in charge to overvalue and to praise the participation yanki in the war, distorting history and desigando them like the great winners. Something that is completely absurd.

  • England won the second world war son...

  • Because I belive in my country And it's values I will Defend to the Death your right to say such Things .. I do not however agree with any of them ... And I am Proud to be a Yankee (if you are going to spell it Spell it right )

  • koeniggraetzer ... I hope no one allows you to breed. 1/2 of the world is free because of the USA. Obviously, the word "why?" escapes you. Grow up and realize that the same "youtube" you post on exists because of the US and the only reason you have a computer to post with is because of the US. Furthermore, the ability of morons like you to post on youtube is defended by the US worldwide... Let's see... Which of those countries did we take over for our own??? Chalk it all up to ignorance.

  • Interventions realized by the USA:

    China (1945-1946 y 1950-1953), Corea (1950-1953), Guatemala

    (1954 y 1960, 1967-1969), Indonesia (1958), Cuba (1959-1960)

    Congo (1964), Perú (1965), Laos (1964-73) Vietnam

    (1961-1973), Camboya (1969-1970), Grenada (1983), Libia

    (1986). El Salvador (1980), Nicaragua (1980), Panamá (1989),

    Irak (1991-1999), Sudán (1998), Afganistán (1998)

    Amount of deads?

    only one society of people with the empty head can make these things yanki culiao!

  • GRENGOS CULIAOS!!

  • FUKING USA....

  • Damn straight, because you know deep down inside that empty fucking skull that we'll assrape you into the fucking ground. Now please go fuck yourself you immigrant fuck.

  • Had this song in my head all day...

  • While Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" seems to get ALL of the patriotic attention, I think that this Neil Diamond classic is JUST AS patriotic if not more so!

  • @Pallindrom27 Greenwood's song is actually called "God Bless the USA". "Proud to be an American" is just part of the lyrics.

  • I used to ask for my elem. school teacher to play this record when it was record request fri.

    A way to get us to do our work and have something to look forward to!

    N.D 10/10+

  • record! you must be old

  • Wha cares what his real name is. This is a great song and a great tribute.

  • asqueroso yankis culiaossssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssss

  • no iria a grengolandia ni aunque me pagaran el pasaje...yankis hijos de puta...

    USA el GRAN SATANAS.,-

  • he s real name is david jones

  • I had the privilage to see Neil diamond the night before last in Portland OR. his last stop on his tour and it was great!!!!

  • HA, and I see you are HERE in America and you most likely have never been outside of America! I tell you what, why don't you deport your ass to another country since you hate the USA so much!

    America is not perfect and yes we have had a checkered past but I can tell you from experience...it's better than a lot of other hellholes in the world that I have been to!!!

  • America is amazing! And I'm Canadian, so I know BEST! ;)

  • Canada is great place to! I've been there a few times.

  • YAY Thank you my Canadian brother, Candians are awesome also even though your sortof a socialist country an i hate the metric system you guys are pretty cool :]

  • vive le montreal candiens! lol

  • THANK YOU RYANSPEED im tied of the pompous douches who hate america yet live in it too :D

  • WOW!

    Just when I'm about ready to "throw in the towel" and virtually give up on the people of your generation someone like you comes along and makes me believe otherwise!

    A lot of the people of your generation ignorantly view the USA as the aggressor and the root of the the world's problems...you sir, are the the exception to that rule and for that EtherealCheerios, I salute you! :)

    By the way, that's a cool YouTube name!

  • Thanks! You show true patriotism too!

  • dude do you live in america?

  • thank you InGrandeur for a personel responce. a good reply. but a county is only as good as the people in it.good people make a great country. what ever that county is. it may look diferent to the rest of the world. but i see your point lol

  • i don't mean to disrepect those who are proud of being american. but you are not the only great nation. great britain is also as great for people from all over the world. we get over 2 million people coming to britain each year. yes america is good. but not the greatest. you are just like us. one of the greatest. and i think there are some other great contrys

  • isn't trying to decide which the greatest countries are heavily dependent on where you live in the first place? im sure, despite the humanitarian issues, there are millions of Koreans who think that Korea is the greatest country, and despite its near-destruction at the hands of the bush-and-blair double act *ahem* there are many Iraqis who have an intense love for their homeland. I'm with Einstein. Countries are the measles of the human race. Good song though :)

  • @apknox this song is talking about AMERICA not Britain.

  • @sailorswife13 Really? You sure? Of course i know it's about America. If you read back it was in reply to what someone else's posted.

  • @apknox I agree. God Bless the UK, from the USA

  • I love this song.  America is the greatest nation on earth.

  • America Cant be greatest nation on earth

    theres alot like it

  • glesga ya wank

  • Excellent video!

  • Excellent job..

  • I will also add, my grandfather ended up retiring as Executive Editor of one of our Armed Forces Magazines!!! How about that for the "American Dream"!!!?????

  • My grandfather came to this country from Greece as a toddler. He remembers the statue of liberty! This country is totally Awesome!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! If you were born in America, as I was, imagine for just a second, being born in some other country... I certainly can NOT!!!! We are blessed!!!

  • neil diamond the best singer ever, beautiful songs,my favorit for i have none he is so good

  • America. Far from perfect but still pretty darned good compared to so many other countries.

    This song was the best thing to come from "The Jazz Singer."

  • well done

  • you have proably seen them in a calender

  • We have tried to help sort out the terrible mess left by others.

    Britain couldn't have won the war without America/Canada/India/South America and lots more help. Be proud. yes mistakes have been made.

    Hindsight is wonderful......

    Be proud! 

    S

  • 3:20 - 3:26, Where have I seen those pictures before?

  • cant we al just get along

  • Nope,affraid not...

  • Hey CanadianFamily, what has Canada done? Canada sucks as much balls as Lance Bass, honestly, Canada is full of such pussies like you, atleast were not afraid to go to war, you Canadian fuck, America is the best and will always be the best, thats why only the suicidal fuckers fuck with us like Iraq, because they know they were gonna die anyways, so why don't you go eat your little veggie burger you Canadian Cocksucker,

  • that is possibly the single dumbest thing ive ever read! xenophobic prick.

  • LMAO!

    you helped us beat germany! pull the other one! just remember whose language you speak emndawg52

    you americans are so deluded you always think your right and yet in reality the whole worlds just sitting back laughing at you

  • for the record Texas was its own nation before it was annexed into the union.

  • Hey Mr. Steve Utah, try learning just a tiny bit of American history and you'd find out that ALL of Texas and California used to be part of Mexico until the U.S. beat their asses in the Mexican/American war. Just because the U.S. won the war doesn't mean any names of cities were changed. THAT is why they're Mexican names...because they used to be in Mexico. Sames holds true for the Mexican people. They didn't all move over into Mexico after the war. Many stayed in their new country - the USA.

  • Um,I know that.I have seen more of America than you ever will and most other Americans,And Yes,I have even been to the Alamo.

    I would be sure that most of the Cities I am refering to would not have existed back then.

  • Britten still owns the USA as well,Why do you think that it is Washington DC??

  • The only thing the brits own in america is the right to say they brought Homosexualaity to our land on your big FAG Ships.

  • I think that you should learn alittle about USA history and how it still stands as part of the Commonwelth

  • yep us brits own canada :)

    slowly taking back over the world

  • The Brits own the world,Sadly,But so does Germany

  • The good old U.S. Of A Owns the world and controls everything that goes on. You Brits arn't Shit without Big Brother U.S.A. Backen your Asses Up.

  • What a joke! If anyone needs there asses backed up, it's the Americans who are dumb enough to believe their arrogant politicians with their visions of grandeur and self-importance.

    Look at your accomplishments...came into WWI in 1917 when it was almost over and a foregone conclusion that the Germans would lose; WWII had already started and you were late there; got your asses kicked in Vietnam; fumbled the Bay of Pigs invasion; gave up in Afganistan and had to ask Canada for help there.

  • And to continue.....you're still looking for WMDs in Iraq and hopelessly mired in a war you can't win and will eventually exit with your tails between your legs as you have in the past.

    Although, we do have to give credit where credit is due.....you did defeat Granada and all by yourselves too. WOW! What a record!

  • Shut up!

    canadian!

    CHRIS JERICHO AND EDGE!

  • You Brits Need To Get The Hell Out Of Iraland

    Yuo'll get your asses kicked there and if you think your going to get America Back, You better stick to the Falkland Islands, You'd have better Luck and if it wasn't for the U.S.A. Hitler would OWN your British Ass.

  • LOL Can you point to Iraland on the map please........ Hitler would OWN your ass, you are a king amongst men, Thick Yank twat.

  • Hi is brilliant~!!!!

  • canada sucks

  • amen

  • wat you suck without canada we would losse n we would not be free

  • I remember this trademark Neil Diamond classic came out in 1980 just after the Iranian hostage debacle..it made us all to reflect on this great free Republic and how millions upon millions of freedom seeking people are risking life and limb to "come to America"! America is still the place to come!!

  • Sadly the WHOLE immigration process is wrong.I do not believe all the BS they tell us about protecting the border,If they were,there would not be 12 mil of the little pricks in the USA and HALF of CA would not have Spanish/Mexican names

  • Learn some history before posting.........

  • Gees,you are a naive shealtered fucken idiot,.YOu really have no idea do you.What a a frigen moron,I can not abuse you enough in words for being such a dickhead

  • lol i remember this song from simpsons!

  • exactly. canada now belongs to britain, you dumb canuck.

  • This is an inspiring story. Great job!

    My class was studying the immigrants who cam to America a couple days ago!

  • blame canada!!!!!!!!

  • god bless the MARINES!!!!true that

  • canada. it belongs to us british

  • Should this be our new 'national anthem' ! ?

  • I remember this song from our hostages being set free (from Iran) in 1980. It is such an emotional song on many levels. We are lucky to be Americans!

  • I agree!

  • I agree!

  • If you can read thank a teacher...

    If you can read english thank a Marine

  • If you Really stop and give it some thought. Consider, if you, your soul was born into another body. What country would you want to be born in? In my young opinion, America!!! When I look at the world today, America is the ONLY place I would want to be born in!!! If you were born in America, Consider yourself BLESSED!!!! There are many, MANY WORSE places to be born in!!! God Bless America!!!

  • God Bless Canada!!!! Land of the free.....

  • "God Bless Canada!!!! Land of the free....."

    Ragdoll, I do believe that's first time I've seen that quote pertain to Canada. lol!

  • canada,yes that belongs to us british.

  • reply to beryldunn: no canada was ruled by the french until the brits kcked 'em out as yu notice Quebec's primary language is FRENCH!!!

  • We all know that Canada belongs to Britain. I STILL think it's funny..."God Bless Canada!!!! Land of the free...." You who have the gov't. that watches you on cameras and will delete pictures off of your camera phones, not to mention other invasions of privacy. Free indeed. lol. You all can be pissed and I can laugh. :)

  • i gotta say australia

  • I believe we all should be one...One Country...When is the hate going to stop....Cant we all get along....Stop the war...No hate...just be one whole...That is what I would like to see while living on this earth....I hate nobody.....

  • nice.

  • As long as different religons exist, The hatered will never end. If there were so many God's wouldn't you think the world would be a peacefull plase? Some try to impose thier belifs upon all mankind like Islam. I say get rid of them all. They are all radicle fools with false belifs

  • My God (no pun intended), three lines and 8 spelling errors? No wonder the rest of the world thinks that the average American is an illiterate.

  • My mother and my father where immigrants. My mother came from, Australia and my came dad from, Holland. Whether it's America or Canada or any other place they are part of our world!

  • I love this song great catchy beat. But what spoils it is all the stupid comments. you should be commenting on song, not piss and moan. comon guys enjoy

  • Straw man.

  • I am Cuban, and came to the United Sates for freedom 5 years ago. I am so thankful that I have a future here...I can be who I want to be, but most of all, I am thankful for living in the world's greatest nation.

  • I have been shat on by USA companys and the USA Government.I am from New Zealand,Lived in the USA from Jan 1993-Dec 2006, Had visa's worked harder than most people anywhere in the world would ever know is possible,Don't drink,Never taken drugs,Speak English,Still can't get a greencard.

    It really pisses me off that there are 12mil illegal immigrants in the USA,Most of them rubbish,Half them can't don't/wont speak english,A huge persent and bludging off the System and I can't get a greencard,SHIT

  • When I was a kid my dad was in the Navy and they played this song on the ship when they returned from a 13 month cruise. I'll never forget getting to see him after being gone for a year.

  • Love Neil Diamond + The Jazz Singer

    I'm on The Next flight Laura lol!! GR8 share

  • para todos los inmigrantes

  • ArE yOu MeXiCaN??

  • really? do any one of you know when this song was written? this is the most inspirational song...

  • Great song/

    i wish other people did not want to kill us so bad. Other countries are nice too.

  • It is your Evil government that has made the rest of the world hate America,And they are run by the even more EVIL system called the New World Council.America is still great even if a little lost and arogant and brainwashed to think that they are joining the forces to protect the USA

  • Dear Mr. Utah:

    You're almost right, except for one small overlooked fact. The "New World Council" is just the political arm of the Illuminati, which is just the visible manifestation of a group of small but REALLY smart mice living in another dimension. Good luck with the conspiracy thing: hope it works out for you as it obviously does for so many others.

  • Seems odd to me that you are aware of these people ,But do not support the Conspiracy side of life,when it is all very real.

  • Actually there IS going to be a 1 world government. Because in the year 1951, 4 years after the roswell alien crash. Aliens visited earth at Area 51. They told of a great war that is going to happen in the future. The only way the human race can survive is if we stop dividing ourselfs by countries but united in a new world order. This will happen on December 21st 2012. The mayans predicted it.

  • Umm... I hate to make you look an idiot but the Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012 not some world government thing

  • No they didn't. They predicted a great spiritual awakening for all humans across planet earth. It is not the end of the world, but the end of the old human, beginning of the new.

  • tinted bright

  • Super smart interdimesional mice lol. and the answer to the ultimate question is 49.

  • It's actually 42.

  • There is a reason that America has more people applying to immigrate than any other country in the world.

  • My Sister looked after an old guy in the UK who was 84 at the time(5 years ago),he was in the past the secratary and chairman of the New World Council.The htings that she saw in his house and the things that he told her were extremely greightening indeed.

    I would be holding onto the seat of my pants if I was a human,things to come are not very nice.But people have been that dumbed down in the past 20 years that they will be to complacent and complyent to do anything about anything

  • Considering America is made up of the world's political & religious rejects, we did not do too bad, from a bunch of dirt farmers to the most powerful nation on the planet in a little over two hundred years.

    As was noted by Amkaen, we are not perfect, but closer to it than any other nation.

  • I had to chuckle: "political and religious rejects" Absolutely right on target. Who else has a huge statue of Lady Liberty (formally: Liberty Enlightening the World") in their harbor saying: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore; Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! I repeat: God bless America, heal her and make her a blessing again.
