Top 15 "American" Songs:
1. American Girl - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
2. American Pie - Don McLean
3. American Woman - Guess Who
4. America - Simon & Garfunkel
5. Born In The U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen
6. Living in America - James Brown
7. We’re An American Band - Grand Funk Railroad

Not sure why "Born in the USA" is listed, if we go there, how about John Mellencamp's "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A."?
