America - Prince. For those who haven't heard it, it's a song about America that speaks out against communism. I'm guessing that counts.

French Kissing In The USA - [can't remember who sings it!]

I don't know if it's 80's, but wasn't there a song called "I'm So Bored With The USA"? Who sang that one? The Clash? Sex Pistols?

"French Kissing..." was performed by Debbie Harry and "I'm So Bored..." was, I believe, performed by The Clash.

Oh, that one, too! [Big Grin]

And we also can't forget Kids In America. Although I kinda like the Jimmy Neutron version better. [Smile]

In America - Charlie Daniels Band

There was a song in the mid-80's called "You Can Still Rock In America". Who did that one? Nightranger? Or some othe group?

Yep, it was Night Ranger that did it. It's on the soundtrack to the 1985 movie "Explorers".
