I'm confused. Are we talking about songs about America or songs written by Americans?

Re: What's the coolest American song?
In terms of patriotic songs it's definitely "America the Beautiful". In my opinion it should be the official anthem. At least people can't butcher it as much as "the Star Spangled Banner". Marvin Gaye's version of the anthem is very close to Ray's rendition of "America the Beautiful" IMO.
As for songs that typify America and such. It's hard to say because there are so many different interpretations but i'd say Don Maclean's "American Pie"Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
