Fun song. For those non-Americans out there - if you come to visit, definitely consider Nashville, Tennessee as part of your trip. Ridin' up and down Broadway is a great time (as per the song above). Lots of live music, and fantastic country bars, clubs, honkey tonks and the like.

Then go from Nashville to Memphis, and visit Sun Records, Graceland and a few trips up and down Beal Street. That's America.

And, then head down by boat or car down to N'awlins (New Orleans) for Jazz music, and another phenomenal city.

Memphis is on my bucket list. My brother was posted there for 8 months and I never got my shit together to visit him.

American Pie is not a country song. It's folk rock.
