A list of puns related to "America Sings"
I love country music, but my American history is terrible to be quite honest, so I figured Iβd ask yβall. On the song βCountry Boy Can Surviveβ Hank Williams Jr sings about resilience, but also what sounds like an America that is falling apart. The markets are crashing, downtown sounds like a war zone, preachers are calling it the end of time, and the Mississippi, well sheβs going dry apparently.
And letβs not forget New York City, where the residents are portrayed as disdainful of country folk (βI had a good friend in New York City, he never called me by my name, just Hillbillyβ), or criminals (this same friend gets murdered for 43 dollars apparently).
Now, what the hell was going on in America at this time to create such a rural-urban divide? What created this kind of song that seems to have resonated with people? As a New Yorker Iβm well aware of our cityβs issues back in the day, Iβm more so curious about the world outside of the five boros, as Hank Williams wasnβt exactly a city boy.
Who do you think is the most popular, successful or well known band in America that doesn't sing in English? Some is ok, but most of their songs are in any other language.
Many Latin singers use a lot of English
