- This last one is a cheesy, but fun song. I like American Made by the Oak Ridge Boys:
It seems everything I buy these days
has got a foreign name,
from the kind of car I drive,
to my video game
I got a Nikkon camera,
a Sony color T.V.,
but the one that I love is from the U.S.A.
and standing next to me.My baby is American-made,
born and bred in the U.S.A.
From her silky long hair to her sexy long legs,
my baby is American Made.Preview/Download American Made (Single) – 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Oak Ridge Boys from iTunes
