The American Girl is everywhere, from Delaware to Delhi, a tight sweater wrapped around her small hips, a pom-pom dropped next to her diary on the floor, her blue eyes sparkling in the California sun, Pamela or Jessica or Jayne, riding in a pink Cadillac years ago and her boyfriend’s black Range Rover now, her red lips caught in a tight zoom across a big screen, she dances to rock ‘n’ roll in an all-wood Texas bar, runs through a blazing sprinkler in a tight white singlet on a scorching hot late spring day.
Men everywhere are frustrated by, and in love with, the American Girl. And men write songs:
MP3: Tom Petty - “American Girl” (from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, 1976).
MP3: Beach Boys - “California Girls” (from Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!), 1965).
MP3: Chris Isaak - “Pretty Girls Don’t Cry” (from Baja Sessions, 1996).
MP3: Kings Of Leon - “Taper Jean Girl” (from Aha Shake Heartbreak, 2004).
MP3: Devo - “Girl U Want” (from Freedom Of Choice, 1980).
