I saw a very "Happy America" commercial today advertising that staple of all happy Americans, Wrangler jeans.
The song they used to promote their Happy American Jeans was Credence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son."
"Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Oh, the red white and blue"
Great time to stop the song, don't you thing, because the point of the song is that "I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS." The chorus says
"It ain't me. It ain't me. I ain't no Senator's son.
It ain't me. It ain't me. I ain't no fortunate one."
It's an anti-American song. What the fuck are they doing? How did this song get licensed for this purpose? It would be like quoting political candidate "A" quoting his opponent "B", but attributing the quote only to "A." It's ridiculous.
