The Song of the Day: Do You Like American Music?

07/01:  Song of the Day.  The Violent Femmes–American Music

Violent Femmes--Why Do Birds Sing [album cover]

We’ve almost completed Side A on our 4th of July mix tape Our Crazy Uncle, Sam.  If you haven’t added a song/video yet just click on the link here and add your colorful twist to the musical mix.  In the meantime, to get you ready for Side B (which in a way has already begun), here’s a little ditty from back in the early 90’s that would fit in just fine.  From the 1991 album Why Do Birds Sing? here’s the Violent Femmes with your Song of the Day.  [Video for “American Music” after the break]
