Content [edit]
The song was a reaction to the varying difficult issues facing America in the tardily 1970s – the fallout from the Watergate scandal, the simultaneous double-digit inflation, unemployment, and prime number involvement rates (leading to the misery index), and the 1979–1981 Islamic republic of iran Earnest Crisis.
Nonetheless all the bug America was facing, the song described a patriotic, united America which would overcome the obstacles and render to its greatness ("we'll all stick together and you can take that to the bank / That's the cowboys and the hippies and the rebels and the yanks"). At one point, it quotes the title of Bobby Bare's "God Bless America Again," a song that asks for God's blessing over a struggling Usa.
The song experienced a revival following the September 11 attacks, when it was floated around the Internet as "F*** Bin Laden."
Background and writing [edit]
The line, "Just get and lay your manus on a Pittsburgh Steelers fan" stems from Daniels' feeling that the people in Pittsburgh are "The salt of the globe, the finest, only the greatest people. The forcefulness of America." He says, "I've gone to ball games at different places, but I've always felt the Pittsburgh Steelers fans, especially in the old stadium - I mean, they're steel workers and they're good old guys with blisters, or calluses on their hands. The strength of America is non in Washington, D.C., It's in our people, it'south on the farms, in the factories. It's the people out here that brand this country work. The truck drivers, the farmers. And these people, that's what they were, and I just felt like if yous want to go to war, allow me take some of these guys with me. Get lay your paw on a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and yous're gonna detect out what American acrimony is, because it's the kind of people they are."[2]
