Okay, time for a poll...

[TheLuckyOne]

Pretty simple this time: which singer/band most accurately depicts your feelings about that most inscrutable of subjects, American girls?


-Weezer (Why are all American girls so rough?/ Why do all American girls act so tough?)

-Counting Crows (American girls are weather and noise/ Playing the changes for all of the boys; and/or Feathers and cream/ Coming to bed so edible)

-Tom Petty (Well she was an American girl, raised on promises/ She couldn't help thinkin' that there was a little more to life)

-Rick Springfield (The American Girl, she breaks hearts/ But that's not enough/ She's such a mystery to me)

-Hall and Oates (Skin tight soul delight/ Changing her life for another... She knows what she wants/ She's an all American girl)

-Melissa Etheridge (She don't owe nobody nothing/ And she ain't on the street/ But these drinks are getting heavy/ And these lips are getting weak... And she will live and die in this man's world/ An all American girl)

-Train (And I know you’re not here to amuse me/ But you sure know how to confuse me/ So if I could just ask you once again... And tell me what it’s like to be the one and only/ All American Girl)

-Other (Everclear, Soul Coughing, Triumph, etc.)

Question:

Why didn't you just set up a poll? A real one, I mean. The button's right there.

I'm not a smart man, Jenny.

But in the interest of having a reason that doesn't expose my rampant idiocy to the world, I'll take M&D's explanation from the General board- I couldn't have fit the song lyrics in. That's the real reason, 'n' stuff.

I don't know if I can say, since I'm an... American... Girl...

But I love that Train song.

[PoolMan]

Well, I'll toss my vote in with Weezer. They rarely seem to understand women either.

And don't call me Jenny.

Ummm...how about Good Charlotte?

The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

I didn't think they had a song with the title of "American Girl" or some variation thereof. But hey, works for me!

Oh...the song didn't specifically say American girls. Just girls in general.
