| A-side | "America, Fuck Yeah" |
"America, Fuck Yeah" is the theme song to the movie Team America: World Police. The song is a parody of 1980s hard rock anthems, which emphasize electric guitar and synthesizer. It is very similar in style to "Danger Zone", the theme to the 1986 film Top Gun, and also to Randy Newman's tongue-in-cheek ode to Los Angeles, "I Love L.A." and Dennis Madalone's "America We Stand As One".
With lyrics like "coming again to save the motherfucking day" and "freedom is the only way," the song is a microcosm of the movie, a satire of the United States and jingoism. It glorifies a satirized "American way of life" that Team America fights to defend, including Wal-Mart, the NFL, breast implants, and Valium. Written by South Park creator Trey Parker and performed by his band DVDA, the song challenges terrorists to "lick my butt and suck on my balls."
In the movie the song plays whenever Team America leaves its fortress in Mt. Rushmore. At one point, however, the upbeat song is replaced with a slow and sad version (the "Bummer Remix"), indicative of the personal turmoil experienced by the team. Because it contains thirty-seven instances of the word "fuck", the song received very little radio airplay. However, on January 26, 2006 the song was voted number 52 in the annual Hottest 100 aired by Australian national youth radio network, Triple J.
The basic refrain of the song is:
- America, FUCK YEAH!
- Coming again, to save the motherfucking day yeah,
- America, FUCK YEAH!
- Freedom is the only way, yeah,
- Terrorist your game is through / 'cuz now you have to answer to...
- America, FUCK YEAH!
- So lick my butt, and suck on my balls!
- America, FUCK YEAH!
- Watcha gonna do when we come for you now?
- It's the dream that we all share, it's the hope for tomorrow,
- FUCK YEAH!
The song goes on to list several American companies, activities and organisations (McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Baseball, Starbucks etc.) each followed by a hearty "Fuck Yeah", with the exception of Bed Bath & Beyond and Republicans which are answered with a much more lacklustre "Fuck Yeah" (although Democrats, which is mentioned immediately before Republicans, receives the full "Fuck Yeah"), and Sportsmanship and Books which are greeted with total silence.
