The Guess Who-American Woman

[509van]

Gostei, essa versão antiga é melhor.

[googoofan93]

for some reason when i hear this song, i have to listen to whole lotta love by zeppelin right after this. anyone else?

[sixstrings209]

North American woman stay away from me............

[bigjuicymike7]

is it true that canada has great beer?? and education is free?

[70sman4ever]

@bigjuicymike7 Right on brother. Oh, don't forget the Kentucky Fried Chicken joints all cross Canada. If you don't believe me, watch one of te 70s commercials. Dig it?!

[kristosharose]

none of you know the point of this song drew you all he is talking about how he doesn't like America THERE CANADIAN the best country ever !

[basicaa]

I am an American Woman who was born in Canada and who LOVES the Guess Who!

[MrGuy214]

@basicaa If you were born in Canada then you aren't American -_-

[basicaa]

@MrGuy214 - I beg to differ - I've got the citizenship papers to prove I'm an America. I'm a naturalized registered voter -- an American citizen who was born in Canada.

[cantwalkintomordor]

@MrGuy214 If she was born in Canada she's an America Woman. Canada is part of American Continent, genius.

[sixstrings209]

@cantwalkintomordor

Canadian women are NORTH AMERICAN women just like women from teh USA are.

[cantwalkintomordor]

@sixstrings209 This is just a more accurate description that doesn't invalidate mine. Anyone in our continent is american, but of course, in a sub-genre you can classify as south, center or north american.

[MrLadyjack]

@sixstrings209 i don't think so...haha...

[ICantTriforce]

i cant find the full version anywhere! :(

[TheCinderellagirl007]

coooooooooooool !!!!!!

[TheKraut59]

guess 8 idiots had to listen to this great tune ,and dislike,keep listen to your poptart shit

[VodKaLogic]

I once had sex to this song. It was unbelievable. (The song that is)

[DeckyStrikesBack]

@VodKaLogic lol You are brilliant :)

[Schmitti112233]

does sb know how to get the lead sound starting at 0:10?

awesome song and i wanna play it ;)

[buffalobackwards]

@Schmitti112233 it sounds like it could be a fuzzface or even a big muff something with that kind of fuzzy tone

[Schmitti112233]

@Schmitti112233

thx, could be but i think those two have a bit more gain dont they?

[elmo11096]

i really hate when people talk about justin bieber, the kids famous and theres really nothing we can do bout it. just because your talking bad about him isnt going to make him less famous and stop him from making music. just enjoy the music man, and stop comparing, geez =P

[Destanee1997]

It's weird how we can get such good music from The Guess Who.

Then a little while later... Justin Bieber comes along.

Now how does that happen? How can Justin Bieber come from the same place as this great music?

[81gw1nner]

@Destanee1997 well the guess who are from Winnipeg(GO JETS), but yes Canada in general.

[PieMonkey7]

I hate it when people take a great song and use it to try to hurt other people. Totally kills the beauty of the music, if at all possible.

[califgirl101]

Hell yeah, this kick ass song rocks!

[aws0mn3ss]

saying americas better is like saying pakistan is going to take over the world

[connorross123]

It's people like the racist Americans that comment on this video that make me ashamed to be American.

Sure, I bet Canada has problems. But America probly has even more. So listen to the fucking song (which I also love) and stop arguing just because it's Canadian.

[IteLintelo]

same here!!!!

[voicefunny]

man i love this song i have it on my guitar hero world tour and i play it like all the fuckin time

[highschoolpunk]

same here

[MosquiIMC]

Very Good =D

[hey111222]

Americans think there all thats important well you NOT the ONLY ones in this WORLD!

[blood4life885]

fuck you nigga, canada's worthless

always has been

[DragonStomp365]

@blood4life885 Your name says a lot about you, blood4life. You have no real say in Canada also since you're not from Canada.

[CalebS27]

wtf r u guys talkin about

[cccrrreeeaaammm]

my hometown winnipeg

[hellolookformyalbumi]

this is the most amusing comment thread i have ever seen (:

[ELRANDY11]

canadian women...????

[lace36]

A True Canadian Classic!!!

[BuffaloBills1995]

y dont u have the begining?

[BorderMan911]

haha ya They fought along side the US on D Day................doesn't mean there strong. shit for brains

[BorderMan911]

Canada has a very good army.!?!?!?!? Are you fvcking high?

[JasminLeblanc]

Only on week ends

WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

[EstebanHernandez123]

They fought along side the US on D Day, taint

[esplanade254]

well America was getting owned in WW2 by mustard gas, and some drunk newfie from Canada pee'd on his shirt and put it around his face,and because of Amonia in pee it stopped the mustard gas from harming them :),and America sent in Canada for most of the things they couldnt handle,so get your facts straight lol,im anti war all together,but Canadian Special forces are considered some of the best in the world,they also extracted an entire village and had them back within 3 hours not 1 person knew.

[Xsatul]

get your fact strait...They used to pee on shirt and put it on their face in WW1 not WW2

[esplanade254]

lol thank you i always screw that up, i ment ww1

[jamesmelt]

amen thamk god for obama

[frowningcat]

The quintiessential Canadian song! One of the best songs ever. Go Bachman/Cummings!!

[hey111222]

I don't need your war machines i don't need your ghetto scneces (USA)

[TheClashOfCultures]

I am from europe and we have a lot of idiots too!!

[Gitaluh]

All of these comments have done nothing but prove that America is, in fact, NOT the only country to have idiots.

I mean, look at Uwe Boll. HE'S NOT FROM AMERICA.

[Keegah]

His name's actually Zheardok.

[VitaNegern77]

This song is mostly about Americas involvement everywhere in the world ,USA makes one hell of a good world police.

[BreakYourChains]

The song is actually a metaphor for attacking American imperialism. "I don't need your war machines. I don't need your ghetto scenes."

Just so everyone knows. ;-)

[Keegah]

Good example of someone who's never actually visited the country they dislike.

[IronNoobicus]

Im From Britain, Half Ukrainian quarter austrian quarter english, and i dont give a fuck cos this is a good song :D

[koenigsegg33]

Duuude psychdelic maaaan =D

[Keegah]

Oh for Christ's fucking sake.

Listen idiots, I don't care what country you're in, people are the same. Regardless of nationality.

There are idiots in America AND in Canada. I've met an atrociously racist Canadian while I was over there on vacation. Was selling salmon and gave me a choice piece, saying he "doesn't sell that to the niggers around here".

All you people saying America is better than Canada? You're dumbasses.

All you people saying Canada is better than America? You too.

Now shut up.

[awesomepat96]

Amen

[jonaspandit]

im half American, half canadien.and i live right on the border.

They are both awesome!!!

[zitchan]

whats with american canadian animosity? where does it come from?

[HeatProtection]

i dunno...but i prefer canadians ;)

[PedrosProductions]

just saying... this song is about the statue of liberty...

[NinetiesYouth]

That little guitar solo from 0:12 - 0:22 is perfect. Can't forget the rhythm guitar behind it though.

[IRFdude]

Why are all you Canadians such fucking assholes?

[xoxohotgurlxoxo]

For the same reason your being steriotypical.!..DOUCHE BAG! >O

[XxxXdead]

americans = nerd , fat chicks , mcdonalds and george bush

[JLE102191]

canadians=french bums who sponge off the govt

ill take the nerds , fat chicks , mcdonalds and george bush anyday

[331376552]

u r an idiot...canada forever

[JLE102191]

listen to yourself...

canada forever??

haha

[331376552]

"american woman stay away from me"

[coontardo]

what a great band, this guitar solo is a classic.

[hey111222]

Canada FTW USA SUCKS! EVERYONE HATES YOU! NO OTHER COUNTRY LIKES YOU DO JUST ACCEPT IT YOUR ALL DISGUSTING!!!

[connorross123]

Stop steriotyping everyone in America as sucking. Blame that on our government that currectly has about a 20% approval rating.

[Vyo0]

the fucking idiot still got elected TWICE... I think that's when most europeans really started losing hope, when bush actually got re-elected :( I just feel sorry for the people who expect real 'big changes' now, what's leftwing in the states is pretty much still center-right-conservative compared to here

[Sleepy1988]

The only way the world can be a happy place is if every country is a socialist liberal democracy!

[hey111222]

Hmm stfu with your political crap.

[1eriku]

i agree ive been against bush the whole way if only i could vote. but thank god we got obama

[renecrod3]

Hey if it would not be for The United States all the rest of the world would still be in the stone age . If any country attacked Canada we would have to protect their sorry ass because they surely could not . So don,t bad mouth my country hey11122 .

[mitzdaking]

/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE check out that vid buddy

then speak

[flightandfilm]

Canada wouldn't be so stupid as to provoke someone to attack them. America did nothing to bring the world out of the stone age. America didn't exist during the stone age. Study your history, China and India where always WAY more advanced then Britain, of whom the Americas are a bi-product of. By the way, Canada has a very good army. Now lets all stop arguing about who's country is better, and realize that they all have good and bad qualities.

[vfgjhj]

Great Great song classic

[YouSuckHellYeah]

I dont get why users on youtube use numbers on their profile! seryously it sounds nerdy lol

[screwOitObwitch]

shut duh hail up pedofile son of uh bwitch!!!!

[YouSuckHellYeah]

STFU You bitch

[SpaceCadet1337]

Umm as a Canadian I found it pathetic that Lenny Kravitz re-did this song and completely didn't even know the meaning of it. This song is anti-American and as a Canadian band The Guess Who were voicing their disgust of the united states. I think Lenny is an idiot for even re-doing this song. He's even more of a deusche for making it seem pro-American. I don't care if people hate the fact that I say that but that's the truth about the song. A great addition to Canadian music. I love The Guess Who

[Ecmredsoxslipknot]

Sorry Lenny... you did a good cover, but the original is always best

[emcred]

Happy I watched American Beauty :)

[Eliascalifa]

I love Burton Cummings but he's not better than Fred Mercury,Ian Gillan,David Coverdale,Dio,Paul Rodgers,Robert Plant,Glen Hughes,David Byron,Joe Cocker,Jon Anderson,Bon Scott,Janis Joplin,Eric Burdon,etc.Don't get me wrong,he's as good as all this people,they are at same level,amazing singers,but impossible to say who's the best.

[CalebS27]

way too slow

[Limaveliki]

M8 dont forgret Robert Plant.

[delsean47]

Burton Cummings has the best voice for rock I've every heard, the only one that comes even close to him was Freddy Mercury from Queen. If he was recording today with that voice, The Guess Who would be topping the charts easily. The dude has awesome range and tone!

[DevBProductions]

ironic.. both those songs are writtin by bob dylan

[DevBProductions]

originals ARE usually better... i like GNR's knockin on heavens door  Jimi Hendrix's all alomg the watchtower is really good too

[Kontonymous]

It's just nostalgia. I think all originals are good but remakes can be just as good. Are they better? No, because that's a matter of taste and who's to say one person's tastes are better than anothers?

[DevBProductions]

true... also, I like Van Halen's cover of You Really Got Me

and Beatle's cover of Twist and Shout

[mischadj]

the one by lenny is better.

[dbmccart]

Yeah and so is the remake of Behind Blue Eyes *cough*. Sorry pal, but it doens't matter what song it it, the original is always better.

[queendarkmima]

are they the real singrs of this song

[roflolsaurus]

no...

[sgtpepper1138]

Lenny is great, but he plays it WAAY to slooooooww

[TaichouInkei]

I dunno about the music being better, but I like Lenny's vocals better.. and I feel better about his more rocked out version Maybe if Lenny'd speed his version up.. cuz tempo is one thing I love about THIS era's music.

[22xoxkikixox95]

wooow you know when people need lives wheeen..

[MishaaGirl]

THIS SONG IS THE SHIIIIZZZZZ

[halo3master1983]

u guys r acting like pussy's srry but stop fighting jeez.....if ur canadien enjoy this fucking suck cz be glad u are canadien cz we live in a safe country so shut ur mouthes jesus christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[22xoxkikixox95]

ohkay... whats your problem buddy?

[thefueley]

LOLZ at that whole convo. Wow

[22xoxkikixox95]

i can sing this song :D

[caliboyCJfan]

ok...whatdya want, a cookie?

[crieff405]

I can wipe my ass, what's your point?

[robertoproz]

this song is the best version ....i dont like the other one :(

this is the original and the best :P austin powers XD

[quiltbee]

thank you Rob for sharing this with me.....nice song...

[albus874]

austin powers

[thestudent09]

thank you biden and all the feminazi fuckers who made this song relavent

[LoNgLiVeRoCk1234]

Why are people talking about the war?

Just listen to the song.

Don't argue, it's pointless.

[Hennersbass]

wat the hell grow up you lot its petty little arguements like this that cause fuckin wars in the first place just appreciate the music

[gh2crazy2]

the only reason America still has troops in Iraq is cuz the economical fall is so brutal that the only way they can stay on top is to stay in war, and they NEED the oil.

[AJGL90]

Obama has made all the soldiers retreat you Barstool.. im british n i know that xP

[Kermit4Prezident]

Well, that'd be illegal, actually, seeing as how:

A. Obama isn't president

B. The president does not have the right to start or stop a war

[BuriasAndDonkey]

the troops need to stay in iraq. they need help

[hobosown]

VIVA LA CANADA!!'

i love pot and getting high

i love the guess who

i love celine dion

and i love canada

[Fittykent]

inb4 pancakes

[hobosown]

what??

[MoonFrostApples108]

what do they have against American Woman?

[Fedcom]

it's basically a protest song against the invasion of American culture on Canada. American Woman represents American culture.

[Thironfalls]

you do realize you probably use "american" culture in everyday life. invasion isn't a good word to use either, its more of the Canadian people accepting it. and most of this "culture" isn't really American to begin with but a culture that developed in both Canada and America considering we as countries have similar origins. ie both british colonies who gained independence, come from generally the same background. there wasn't any invasion sorry to inform

[Clois4evaAndeva]

they're plastic sluts?

[redgibson1]

imo this song blos compared to lenny's version.

[GrayRambo1]

You are right, I was rude, but this song is one of the best. It really depends on if you like Austin Powers. I like him and love this song. I didn't mean it to come out like it did, but I re-read it, and I can't believe I wrote it, but the song is just to good.

[DazzaTheKing]

A classic we can now play in Guitar Hero :D

[dannz0r]

It kicked my ass on drums. =(.

...So I put it back onto easy =D

[Neonpeppy2]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fuhmeregan]

quit fighting - when you grow up and read your history, you'll find the u.s. and canada are brothers.

[classmonkey23]

shut up all of you and grow up ps i am not sorry so deal with it ok!

[thomasdavey1]

this song always reminds me of austin powers the spy who shagged me :L

[GrayRambo1]

So what? This song is a classic, idiot.

[Clois4evaAndeva]

Gray what the fuck is your problem?

so what if it reminds someone of austin powers, Thomasdavey didnt diss the song, he didnt say it wasnt classic so why the FUCK are you so rude? you're pathetic.

[GuitarManiac4380]

yea your pathetic, you pathetic piece of pathetic person

[classmonkey23]

shut up and grow up you guys whatever

[classmonkey23]

grow up you guys and i dont care

[greatnate]

Wow, without drugs music sucks... really.. do some drugs kids and just learn to play music. Make it up... our generation has lost creativity to the highest level.

[Sandbag209]

fuck you

[WTFproductions13]

I agree! Feed those spinal cords some LSD and then go and smoke some Canabis!

[Link0t]

doesnt his voice at 0:50 sound like Robert Plant? maybe thats why there's misconceptions that it was Led Zeppelin.

Guess Who ftw XD

[MarkyMark4341]

yea it kinda does amazing

Guess Who pwn

[bark1986]

Canadian woman stay away from me . American woman come to me

[IronJackal85]

Fate cacare sia americani sia canadesi, Italia domina, Roma imperat!!!! U suck!!!!!

[salehinqatar1994]

nice

[bondrk]

at least us americans are strong enough to take your comments, it takes a real man to walk away from somones words, it takes a pussie to make fun of somone.

do you ever see americans going around slamming other countries, nope.

canadians, all the time.

brits, some times, pretty cool guys.

saying shit about somone or something is a sign weakness in yourself. so sitting here slamming america isnt helping you in anyway.

[MarkyMark4341]

Hey have you seen the americans in Irac hmmm weapons of mass destruction. WHERE you havent found any. you guys are all fucking idiots and your still killing people over there who are really trying to get you guys out of their country cause you pick on the little weak countries. When the o so glorious USA went into Canada we ended up burning the White House down so dont forget that you guys arent as tough as you seem.

[bondrk]

british soldiers burned down the white house not canadian. that was 40 years after we tried to invade canada. and it was under british controll. oh and would you like us to pick on stronger nations? theres none that are doing anything wrong right now. the only countries that are is the weaker nations in civil unrest. its not like we are killing everyone, our troops are basicly acting as a police force. so before you go saying shit, make sure your shit is accurate...

[BrinkyJ]

i think the majority of Americans don't approve of the war, smartass

[Thironfalls]

you aren't being historically accurate neither are you being fair. Most Americans don't approve of Iraq War just like you don't. It is the right-wing government that is about to leave office that created that war out of greed. I think you and me would have the same general opinion about said government. the main difference is that you use that as an excuse to hate the american people which isn't fair or just in anyway. just because some idiots say something stupid doesn't mean it applies to all.

[daredevilmike1]

i love playing this song on guitar hero world tour

[amannuz]

If U had balls then canadian womaen wouldn't be in america sucking U.S. BALLS... If the U.S sucks so much then what the FUCK are the Candians doing in the U.S. All the time..STAY THE FUCK HOME DUMBASS....

[simsin420]

its all about the Canadians

[princesscharli]

oh my god why the hell are you all arguing, this has nothing to do with the song at all

grow up!!!

amazing song btw!!!

[sacredtealeaf]

i agree with you although i posted something back to that person i wasn't actually arguing i was just telling them how their comment was really useless but i do agree we shouldn't be arguing here

and yes i really like this song heard from austin powers XD

[foureverbucs247]

Why does someone have to ruin a perfect song buy saying something stupid. We all live in this world lets look at it like that you idiot.Its aboot(I meant about but I am talking to a canadian)time you see it like that mmmkay!

[coolboyz911]

simsin420 I agree with you man USA SUCKS! CANADIENS RULE!

[amannuz]

screw u idiot thts why u canandians dont have the respect from all over the world like us americans do

[coolboyz911]

respect! RESPECT! You fuckin americans are all into drugs and gangsters and killin dammit! Canadiens could be nicer than you anyday

[sacredtealeaf]

hmmm you're obviously such a stereotypical person...you probably only say that because you watch things like that so you assume we're all like that...all countries have their pros and cons

[amannuz]

I totally agree with u

[amannuz]

Canadians are a bunch of little girls that are afraid of war,ighting things like that us Americans will dominate u anyday

[Link0t]

and that opinion has been a result of hip hop and rap lyrics, plus the outdated drug days from thee 70's.

get some legit info u idiot! stop blaming everything on us!

[WTFproductions13]

The drug days will never be outdated you prickish bastard! PEACE

[simsin420]

"respect from all over the world like us americans do" hahahah ur the fucking idiot.. we all know that everyone hates americans, and loves canadeins

[simsin420]

thats right man. USA SUCKS! CANADIENS RULE!

[coolboyz911]

Simsin420, couldn't agree more. Americans could care less about the world. Especially with a terrorist president. Obama, Obombnia. and hes shutting down military procedures over there which is settingup all of North America!!! Stupid americans voting fo a terroist!

[maltesemario]

hey i agree with that Obamma is americas worse mistake and will ruin the united states

shut the fuck up u spaztic
