You do know how that song was written huh? They were playing two shows one night and in between the shows the lead singer went outside to buy some albums and he was late. Coming back for the second show and the band started jamming without him and when he came in he just made the words up as they were playing, not bad at all

[@tdb517]

"unique" really. They basically play the exact same thing black folks played in the 4O's. They called it blues, but when white kids play it it's called rock.

[@mattersofthekingdomofyehov8287]

@@ashleyallen8094 Randy Bachman called this "an antiwar protest song," explaining that when they came up with it on stage, but the band and the audience had a problem with the Vietnam War. Said Bachman: "We had been touring the States. This was the late '60s, they tried to draft us, send us to Vietnam. We were back in Canada, playing in the safety of Canada where the dance is full of draft dodgers who've all left the States." The lines where the anti-Vietnam sentiment are most apparent are "I don't want your war machines, I don't want your ghetto scenes."

[@ashleyallen8094]

@@mattersofthekingdomofyehov8287 While that may have been Bachman’s take on the song, Cummings, who composed the lyrics, said in 2013 that they had nothing to do with politics. "What was on my mind was that girls in the States seemed to get older quicker than our girls and that made them, well, dangerous. When I said 'American woman, stay away from me,' I really meant 'Canadian woman, I prefer you.' It was all a happy accident."[12]

I had to come listen to this classic, after just reading about Randy Bachman recovering his long lost guitar, stolen in 1977, and recently recovered and returned to him.

Steppenwolf , also from Canada , reached #2 on the American Hot Billboard 100 charts with “ Born to be Wild “ in 1969 ( released in ‘68 ) and they reached #3 with “ Magic Carpet Ride “ later that year . Then in 1970 the Guess Who released this song “ American Woman “ . It peaked at #1 on the American Hot Billboard 100 chart for 3 weeks until May 9th . That made the Guess Who the first Canadian rock band to reach #1 on the American charts at the time and ironically , they did it with an Anti - American song . Steppenwolf came painfully close though ~

back in the 70's, apx 1975ish or so, my step brother had this on an 8 track tape, along with lots of other artists, but I loooved this song, and wanted to hear it over and over again. so glad to hear it. going to download it asap.

I love this song, a classic

[@ThePsychedelicCinema]

That is one dirty solo! And Burton's vocals as always were some of the best rock had to offer.

[@christophercagan8160]

This song has meaning to me. I was married to an American woman for 10 months. She left me with a note on the table. I was broken. Now I have been happily married for 35 years - to a lovely and kind woman from Central America!

As a young girl at age 8 listening to this on Canadian Station CKLW, on a farm in West Salem, Ohio. I felt a sense of empowerment and it’s made the strong woman I am today 😎

Слава богу хоть не сильным мужчиной. У вас на Западе люди пол меняют, а это противоречит ЗАПОВЕДЯМ БОЖЬИМ, а - не от Бога, Иисуса Христа, это противоестественно.

Salem Ohio is a good distance from Windsor Ontario. 😊

@@drivingmusic5923 I stand corrected, still a bit of a distance by way the crow flies.

Hard forget a song like this

[@KurtisC93]

Hard to shake a stick at a singer who can go from sounding like Paul McCartney to Robert Plant in the same song.

[@terrytari1891]

Pretty good writer too!

No it’s not meet him and shake a stick in his direction

Talk about a song that's prophetic says everything about the American woman today

It's the MGTOW national anthem, change my mind.
