  • isn't Liz Hurley British?

  • One thing that always bothered me about this song is, what sounds like a wrong note hit at 4:29 into the song. It's always been a distraction for me, ever since it first came out. Maybe he did it purposely, but it sounds discordant to me, and every time I hear the song I think of that badly hit note. (or a poor progression)

  • the vocals are so zeppelin i cant believe its not margerine

  • I used to like this song because it was about american women and it kicked ass. Then I found out that the band was Canadian, and that this song was about the US. Looking around my corporate-controlled bible-belt bumblefuck country... I love this song even more.

  • Hey at 2:28 What is that town? My guess it Middletown, Maryland! Did I guess right?

  • @StLennyBruce yes it is middletown

  • @StLennyBruce Oh, dude. I live in France, but I passed through there a few times while visiting. Dude! I win somethin', right?

  • I joined the Air Force 8wks ago and I think war is nessesary at times because guns and bullets sure do more walking then a government person talking

  • This is clearly a war protest song, speaking on the disgusting sense of bland patriotism, consumerism, and warmongering. I think you hit the nail on the proverbial head.

  • You cut off the best part...the end!!!....He says...."Good Bye American Woman.....Goodbye American chick"......

  • @Tovasdad - I'm befuddled by the imagery in this video. What message are you trying to convey? I'm guessing (and this is merely a guess) that you think that American women dress 'untznius' and that Condoleeza Rice represents good while Hillary Clinton is somehow bad. I'm really at a loss as to what the message is. A little help?

  • @hairycell714 I just see the video as a whole. the war machine, & the whores of Babylon (figuratively speaking). Don't ask me to elaborate.

  • @hairycell714 I see neither Condoleeza Rice or Hillary as good but the media weather it us right or left will tell you that they are the ideal woman when in reality they would happily sell their soul for power

  • i love this song ,,,,, i dont care about anything else .... this song rocks .

  • Thanks American Beauty !

  • What the fuck... is this shit?

  • Very interesting...... I see great insight and understanding of todays issues

  • Very interesting...... I see great insight and understanding of todays issues

  • best intro of 1:14 seconds ever. this version needs to be played more with this intro. to hear the amazing vocals of burtin cummins

  • american woman = sluts

  • Comment removed

  • aerican woman

  • ON THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS A PHOTO OF TWO TURN OF THE CENTURY ARTISTS.

    AND ANOTHER PHOTO OF A CONTEMPORARY ARTIST. WHO ARE THESE GUYS ?????  THIS SONG HAS SOME GREAT MUSICAL ROOTS.

  • America does have the best looking tramps and whores.

  • I remember the first time that I called the WHOG radio with this request, just prior to my first Topfree Stand protest in Daytona. Tracey Dillon, the DJ, said, "I don't know, Liz. this is such a bitchy song." I replied, "Trace, what do they call strong women, in this country? Bitch." she played it for me then, and they still play it for me now....

  • i like the *thou shalt not question my war* pic

  • Comment removed

  • @DualFrodo with all the questions that have not been answered I don't think any one can answer . so I have no Idea who took out the towers and that is the big problem because any one who says one way or the other is just giving an opinion because the evidence isn't conclusive one way or the other and the world is at war with out adaquite evidence as to who the guilty parties are and who ALL is envolved

  • I love that intro so much

    

  • Comment removed

  • @banfzz Actually, it was Britain and France that insisted on forcing the Versailles Treaty down Germany's throat. Woodrow Wilson argued strongly against it for fear of exactly what ended up happening, that Germany would rebuild their forces and seek revenge. I am not a fan of Wilson's, mind you, but the facts are the facts.

  • @banfzz You're an idiot

  • @banfzz sorry but histroy shows that America sold them arms from 38 to 40 so it's not BS it is just a fact

  • @tovasdad where is this "fact" written?

  • @whm2c well, where is the fact written that you believe?

  • funny video- great song

  • 0:24 - African-American woman

    1:06 - British woman

    2:04 John F. Kennedy?

    2:24 - Now that's just taking it too Far!

  • @IdontCheckMyEmails 2:04 maybe his brother Robert...

  • yesto es.. para despues de la noche de bodas o antes...

  • song is great , video dosn't have a clue what the songs about

  • American women <3

  • that does not look like a tongue being exchanged between britney and madge at 5:07

  • what does it take to get a comment posted?

  • Great video. From an american vietnam vet. Love controversy. it is what makes us better.

  • American women are COMPLETE shit.

  • You know; Reading into a song is lethal, Helter Skelter much?- Please, Listen too the tune, And relax, Let the music take you, Its not like theres subliminal messaging in a 30 year old song. just climb off the lyrics, And pay attention too the music.

  • um no ... it about American politic and the Vietnamese war.

  • Hillary Clinton 2:27...LOL

  • NO WAR

  • The song is about the statue of liberty. At least that's what I was told. And don't let a select few destroy your view on americans. We hate the stuff we're doing too. Thanks liberals. What happened to cowboys and astronauts and american heros? Everything is too "efficiant" not enough heart. Heart that musicians have like the guess who.

  • i wana get my dick sucked right now

  • why has TV even been brought up?! this is a fucking song with a montage, not even the video, please shut the fuck up

  • the ignorance of some Americans knows no bounds does it?

  • great video ! very cool

  • Russians didnt save the frogs

  • exelente...

  • so much polotics.... this is the only good version of the song so thanks..... just enjoy the music!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a pretty reasonable person but, in this case, I have to agree with ReverendJim's comment...you really did screw up a good song (and, great memories of when I was young) for me...instead of creating an imaginative visual to go with great music, you had to put a negative spin on it, almost as if you're pissed that everyone is STILL not gettin the true meaning of a freakin' song. Are you that jealous or bitter with the USA? Go blog about it; otherwise, let us enjoy old music...

  • thank you for completely missing the point ,COMPLETELY . there is nothing bitter or jealous about my video , interesting that you read that into it though ,that says a lot more about you than you think after all that is how you interpret it

  • @shegotyagood So, what exactly did you miss in the song, his "negative twist" was in the song from day ONE. Either your memory is flawed, or you haven't actually HEARD this song yet.

  • lol at Hillary Clinton pics

  • this song is bashing america because when they toured america they were surprised with all the violence there. when he says "american woman" he is talking about the statue of liberty and saying how he wants nothing to do with america.

  • YOU ARE A STUPID LOSER!

  • thank you ,your comment demonstrates my point FAR better than I ever could , So please continue your ramblings because it is ironic that not only did you not get the point of the video but because of you comments you are the point of the video , So thank you for entertaining us

  • Buttfucker you missed the point!

  • i was listening to an interview with one of the band members and the song was originally intended to be "Canadian women come closer American women stay away" the reason being the band believed Canadian women to be more "refined"- just a fun fact, and for the record i am American and proud to be one.

  • Laura Ingrham,Michelle Malkin. REAL AMERICAN WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I saw the rest of the video. Condoleeza and Hilary are cool people too. But note they are all progressive thinkers.

  • These women promote America positively not negatively. This is what Western sexuality is. It is very Liberal. If you don't like this kind of sexuality move to the East or somewhere else you crazy nutcase!

  • Wow did you ever miss the point not even close

  • Dude who lit the fuse on ur tampon!?

    Calm down shut up and enjoy the song baby

  • On Pussifism And Buddhism...

    Communism is the polar opposite of the Sangha (community of the Spirit). It is a counterfeit, taking on the name of 'the brotherhood of man.,' but without God in the equation...It is a battle of Light vs. Dark with reincarnated leaders at the helm who have no allegiance to God, the Buddha, the Sangha and the Tao.

    Communism/Islam/Pussifism...BL­ACK HOLE! USA...Billions Of Candle Power...

    Yin Slew Yang!

  • On Pussifism And Buddhism...

    PISSIE...PUSSIFISM IS SUICIDE, SUICIDE IS WICKED BAD KARMA(EVIL)! SO IS HOMOSEXUALITY, ABORTION AND THE REST OF YOUR SACRAMENTS!

    Now change your burqas, I can smell you down here!

  • Bed Wetting, Suicidal Pacifist, Kanadians.

    You have a 50,000 man(sic) standing military.

    America was attacked on 911, by FREAKING MUSLIMS ON JIHAD! YOU SIMPERING ASSHOLES!

    Sir Winston Churchill said of Muslimes...Hydrophobia is to a dog, what Mohammadism is to a man...

    You are commiting suicide as a country...no human babies to replace yourselves...You identify with suicide bombers...Take A Bus To Cuba!

  • i never understood the part of this song from 0:00 to 1:15

  • I find it highly ironic that so many Americans like this anti USA song from the 60's....befiinitey LOLZ

  • Comment removed

  • great song

  • Who's that girl at 1:12 ?

  • This is a song about the Vietnam War. If you didn't live in North America during the war, you are likely never to understand what's going on in this song.

    It makes me laugh to remember how we had to hide the 45 record from our mother, 'cos of the last line (which was cut from all radio broadcasts) "...Goodbye American woman, goodbye American bitch!"

  • The Beatles sang...Helter Skelter and Revolution...If you go carryin pictures of Chairman Mao, aint gonna make it with anyone anyhow...

    Helter Skelter is Chuckles Manson's, Race War/Armageddon.

    It's started in earnest, since the erection of King Rootin Tootin.

    Which camp you in?

  • "Canadian Woman, gonna BORE YOU TO FUCKING DEATH!"

  • wow that's the lamest comment any one has made yet

  • Awesome song, but we don't need fucking CANADIANS to comment on

    our women, who are after all smoking hot while yours are fat rubes!!! LOL

  • im sry to tell u that american are wayyyy bigger than canadian and plz why the f word in front of canadians dude if u never been out of ur own lil country than im sorry for you

  • What beef do you have with Bobby Kennedy?

  • SOOOOOOO much better than the Kravitz remake.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

  • I didn't see Rosie the Riveter in this video. She's an American Woman, just as much as the Statue of Liberty.

  • MICHELLE OBAMBie what the fuck!

  • um she isn't in this video ????????

  • does anyone know the name of the singer in these songs?

    oh and by the way this is totally kickass

  • the name of the singer in the band is Burton Cummings

  • the women u put in this vid are a horid choice friend

  • they were meant to be , that was the point how the media portrays an American Woman

  • Corner Brook's 103.9 K-Rock, Western Newfoundland's Classic Rock Station, plays this song, but without the extended acoustic intro. However, Ottawa's Classic Rock Station, CHEZ 106, plays this in its entirety.

  • This song must be one of the gratest songs of all time!! I LOVE IT!!! =D

    Its a good song to play 2 =]

  • o my god comparing this to Lenny cravist- FUCK LENNY CRAVITS

  • I absolutely love this song, my dad used to play this sooo loud in the car when me him and my mom would go places(: he'd act like he was 15 again. but that was before he passed away of course, and now it reminds me of my father, so I do the same thing he does, play it as loud as i can(:

  • obamma bether then hiliry clinton! guess who bether then lenny kravitz!

  • lol great comparisim

  • This vid was, um, well, you do know the song isn't about American women, right? It's about the United States in general. That's what they meant when they wrote it. Still, most of the women at the beginning of this vid I would so NOT tell to get away from me. :P

  • sorry you didn't like and yes I know that it's about america so is the video?????????

  • your government is a lot more corrupt and the there is a mountain of evidence to prove it watch the film "Iraq for sale" it is about the private contractors that are gouging the american tax payer and how government officials are connected to them and how those officials are profiting from the war

  • Well said

    if so they you should be on your knees, thanking America

  • for???????????

  • Why? whats there to thanks america for?

    Crack? (only in america was there a guy that said Cocaine was not good enough)

  • Akaoushi,

    If you read history the US save the world a few times. It's the reason you don't live under Nazism, Communism, etc. You have save yourself from Islamism

  • Give me an example.

    During WW2 Canada was well on there way to war even before England declared war, and long before the USA decided to show up.

    Then again I guess you are not aware that the USA supplied the Germans for years before getting involved.

  • What are you talking about? You mean we had trade relations with the Germans? So what? BTW we should have never got involved and today the Nazis would rule Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Hiel Hitler!!!!!!!

  • YES the USA supplies the German's with Military hardware.

    And your right if the USA did not get involved the war would have been over sooner.

  • Are you saying it would have been better to end the war sooner and be Nazi? BTW The idea that the Germans would buy military hardware from us is like suggesting that would buy a GM or Chrysler car from us. Are you serious with that argument? You're kidding me right.

  • Your ability to read and comprehend is not all that good is it?

    The was would have ended sooner with out America's help.

    And YES The USA supplied the German Military with material and supplies for years.

    The USA entered WW2 in December 8, 1941 was the date of the U.S. declaration of war, but in fact the U.S. was at war December 7, 1941 at about 7:55 AM when the Japanese attacked.

    Where as

    Canada declared war on Germany on September 10, 1939
