Hah.) I'm not sure what songs say America to me now, but I know excactly what song I will forever associate with my first realization of America as this other, vast, and hugely exotic (to my 4 or 5 year old self) country. It's been years and years since I saw this movie, and I suspect certain references and sentiments and storylines would have me turning the movie off before it ever got to this song, if I watched it today. But apparently the lyrics are stuck in my head forever from singing it endlessy back then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MnUrhptPSo (I was so tempted to answer your question “American Pie” and leave it at that.

For some reason I now have "Pink Houses" stuck in my head. So I guess that fucking song says America to me. Damn you. For some reason I now have “Pink Houses” stuck in my head.

Maybe it's just because I'm a huge fan of the Andrews Sisters, but <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4AtSJy0vuY" rel="nofollow">this</a> is just brilliant. So. What songs say America to you?
