This one is the current quintessential "American" song that they use to help brainwash our soldiers and sailors during boot camp. LoL... At least they did when I went through. Every morning when you wake up, every night before you go to sleep...

Oh and not specifically about America, but Queen - A King of Magic, might tie in nicely.
