I am 38 yrs old and I KNOW that The Guess Who did this song in the early 70's. If people had a clue of what they were talking about they just might be dangerous. This song is by a Canadian band about American Women going to Canada to run away. Listen to the lyrics. Randy Bachman wrote this. I was privileged enough to see his solo project in 1994 in Virginia Beach and it was AWESOME.
@IBDRELTHOR2 Canadian band but not about what you said. They were finishing up a long tour of the States and were looking forward to getting back to a bit of slower pace at home. In a warmup before a show Bachman started playing this riff and then the band joined in and Cummings started singing these words. It is not about women at all, American Woman is the United States.
people are always commenting on the greatest guitar solo's ever, Hendrix, Blackmore, Page, Gilmore, but you never hear Randy Bachman- maybe some of them should listen to this piece
I think the dumbest statement on an American Woman vid was and I quote, " I can't believe these guys covered a Lenny Kravitz.... they killed the song" ... some times you just got to shake your head and say its time to chlorinate the gene pool....
@MysticKnight38 DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAY???THIS SONG IS ORIGINAL OF THE GUESS WHO OK?the seet of leny its only a very vey bad imitator.and has no sense that a niger american sing this song thta its cleare reprove an american women
@MysticKnight38 ALGUIEN LE PUEDE DECIR EN INGLES A ESTA PENDEJA DE QUIEN ORIGINAL ESTA CANCION??GUESS WHO LA GRABO ANTES DE QUE NACIERA EL PENDEJETE MAL COPION DE LENY KRAVITZ VERSION DIARREICA Y JODIDA APARTE DE PENDEJA PORQUE SE VE MUY MAL UN NEGRO AMERICANO CANTANDO UNA CANCION QUE FRANCAMANTE HABLA PESTES DE UNA REPORTERA AMERICANA QUE YA TENIA HASTA LA MADRE AL GRUPO DE GUESS WHO,DIGANSELO EN INGLES A ESTA MISTQ DE MIERDA
OMG this is pheromeanomical. Here I sit in Cheshire 30 years after a magic GW concert in 72 in a then wild west Sydney Australia. Now, the American woman was good that night. BUT not this good. O yay I say. Gonna emigrate to Winnipeg tomorrow.....
They're probably pissed at each other and can't enjoy the show as a result. Actually I think the guy dedicated this song to her because she looks really upset.

I've listned to these guys since they were Chad Alen and the Expresions. They may well be one of Canadas greatest bands.
