American Saturday Night
Posted by Richard on September 4, 2017
I was watching a lawn care crew across the street a little while ago. It consisted of an Asian and three Hispanics. While one guy finished blowing clippings of the walk, the other three got in the truck and started it up. They were listening to country music.
I grinned. That’s America. Suddenly it occurred to me that I haven’t heard this Brad Paisley song in quite a while:
From MetroLyrics:
Whoa whoa
She’s got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listen to the Beatles singin’ ‘Back in the U-S-S-R’
Yeah she’s goin’ around the world tonight
But she ain’t leavin’ here
She’s just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fairIt’s a French kiss, Italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American Saturday nightThere’s a big toga party tonight down at Delta Chi
They’ve got Canadian bacon on their pizza pie
They’ve got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel Light
It’s like were all livin’ in a big ol’ cup
Just fire up the blender, mix it all upIt’s a French kiss, Italian ice
Margaritas in the moonlight (whoa)
Just another American Saturday nightYou know everywhere there’s something they’re known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
My great great great granddaddy stepped off of that ship
I bet he never ever dreamed we’d have all thisYou know everywhere has somethin’ they’re known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
Little Italy, and Chinatown, sittin’ there side by side
Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!It’s a French kiss, Italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American, just another American,
It’s just another American Saturday night

It’s not cultural appropriation, it’s cultural assimilation. The sponge-brain lefties got the wrong word.
