    …that song…“You are my American boy…”. No point any more to change the radio station, the song is every where. The ether giving you only three choices: …“You are my American boy…”, commercials, or commercials with “You are my American boy…” for a background. Don’t get me wrong, I like the song, but after couple of weeks living with her I’m starting to experience some mental disorder symptoms, when I hear it…

    I know it sounds like a radical solution but you could just turn the radio off. If you're doubtful that this will work consider that I've never heard the song you're talking about, that's right, not once. :-D

        You need better radio stations.

        You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

          I haven't had the pleasure yet, it would seem :) Although I never bothered connecting up the radio in my car, I'm more than happy with just rotating my own collection of CDs.

                  There's usually a public radio station or two as well. Sometimes, that's good - the local one here (KRCC out of CO Springs) plays music most of the day, with actual DJs and such. Unfortunately, a fair number of them just run the NPR feed all day - mostly talk radio of one sort or another; from the look of things, that's what you have down in central Texas.

                      I've never heard this song.

                          They aren't country, they are pop. When I hear them on the radio I change the station, the problem, the next country station on my presets is usually playing them at the same time. My record is 4 different stations all playing a Rascal Flats song at the same time, I just turn the radio off. I get in the car for drive time, listen to 25 minutes of talk and commercials praying I will get a song before work ... Rascal Flats. I keep 6 CD's in the changer just so I can reliably listen to some actual music. (American Boy does play a lot but at least it is listenable)

                              I had never heard of it. I looked it up and found a music video on YouTube. Then I read the comments to the video. I now have a better understanding of the meaning behind this[^].

                                  There's a difference? :~ It's been almost a decade since i was last forced to listen to country music radio, but near as i could tell at the time, the music consisted of top40 lyrics + steel guitar + really fake southern accents.
