Oh don't get me wrong, i'm not bashing you with that comment. There's a reason I removed the 'the call is coming from inside the house' line. I was doing it in jest and light-hearted banter but you never know how text can come across so I wanted to be safer than sorry.

It does feel pretty American though. I get it. The vibe is definitely there. The song just screams "PATRIOTISM" in a way that is pretty in line with America. Has that whole "I'M THE VERY BEST WE'RE NUMBER 1 NO ONE CAN STOP US" theme throughout it.

I listen to jazz and pop so I mean I'm not exactly someone who is a huge fan of ballads either. Right with you. This song I do like but mostly just for nostalgia purposes I think. The same way I start singing along with Rick Astley whenever Never Gonna Give You Up starts playing.

However, as a Canadian, how fucking dare you mistake Bryan Adams for an American. Awful. Mean. Terrible! Cruel! We can't be friends.
