I've seen this more than once... and they did it again on the olympics the other night. They do these up close and personal stories on the US women's...bitch slapping team, or whatever. and in the back ground they are playing "American Woman", the Lenny Kravitz version.

Do people really only hear "American Woman doo bee da bee da da, American woman! Do do da da dum dum"?

It's a Guess Who song whose underlying theme is less than complimentary to american women. "Stay away from me", "I don't need your war machines, I don't need your ghetto scenes", "You're fat and lazy and and smelly really crappy at volleyball".....I may have made up that last one.

I seem to recall hearing that the Guess Who were to play at the White House, and Nixon's wife mandated that they not play that song....or something...

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what i say

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knocking around my door
I don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what i say

American woman, i said get way
American woman, listen what i say
Don't come hanging around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes

Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what i say
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be

I gotta go
I gotta getta away
Think i gotta go
I wanna fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
American woman
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Looking at you right in the eye
Tell you what i'm gonna do
I'm gonna leave you woman
You know i gotta go
I'm gonna leave you woman
I gotta go
I gotta go

I gotta go
American woman
Yeah

How 'bout that Liz Phair song "Extraordinary" that kept getting played in the background of ads for some womens sport (WNBA maybe?). The only words they played were "I am extraordinary if you'd ever get to know me". Had to laugh the day I heard the whole song on the radio and it kept repeating "just your ordinary average every day sane psycho". Now why didn't they play that in the background of the b!itch slapping?

I also keep hearing them use the theme music to Jurassic Park, Braveheart, and Pirates of the Carribbean in the background. Funny, pirates seems to usually be behind the swimming spots... :think:

i liked the butthole's version better.

and speaking of, maybe the olympics should use "lady sniff" as background music instead.

How 'bout "Kunts" from Abortion Locust Technician!

even better. maybe al-jazeera can use it for their broadcasts

(note - this is not a misogynistic or racist comment, as the music from said song has a definitey eastern/arabic flair to it).

I like 'em. But sometimes they can be kind of prudish. Canadian women on the otherhand have just the right amount of sluttiness :D that and they believe my lies....... Hi, name is Jim, I invented Viagra.......

Getting back to the original question, I thought the same as MMike -- nobody really listened to the lyrics??? At first I thought it the Candadian women were playing it as a taunt to the Americans, but apparently not. :rolleyes:
