    Lyrics
    I fell in love in a 7/11 parking lot
    Sat on the curb drinking slurpees we mixed with alcohol
    We talked about all our dreams and how we would show 'em all (whoa oh oh oh)
    I told him I got a plan and I'm gonna dominate
    And I don't need any man to be getting in my way
    But if you talk with your hands then we can negotiate (whoa oh oh oh)
    I'll just keep moving my body (yeah,yeah)
    I'm always ready to party (yeah,yeah)
    No I don't listen to mommy (yeah,yeah)
    And I'll never say that I'm sorry
    I am American girl
    Hot blooded and I'm ready to go
    I'm loving taking over the world
    Hot blooded, all American girl (Whoa oh oh oh )
    I was raised by a television
    Every day is a competition
    Put the key in my ignition (Oh-way-oh)

    She came in to the restaurant I worked in 2015 at Universal Studios Hollywood. She was so excited that I recognized her. I was so excited about how excited she was. She stands out with her hair, but there's a zillion women in Hollywood that would make a guy stop in their tracks. So when I asked "Are you Bonnie Mckee!?" her eyes lit up like Christmas.

    This is a really fascinating song. I always viewed it as another Teenage Dream-esque party anthem, but the lyrics are actually more of a critique of American culture rather than the typical vague praising of it.
    It’s also bleakly accurate. Everyone is being raised by TV and competition is at an all time high.

      3) Glamorizing crime as "American"
      Unless there was a deeper message, it's unappealing and excessive at the surface. I am happy she found success as a writer, but Bonnie needed her best stuff for herself. This was catchy, but it wasn't a great image.

    Good song. I wasn't raised by a television, but we did enjoy MTV. Had to go to my neighbors in order to see it. We didn't have cell phones, or texting in my day, but I do remember sitting with my friends at the corner store with "frosties", (our vernacular for Slurpies), and playing or just hanging out.

      Oh and that person that "never payed attention in school" is obviously you since you don't even know the real meaning & definition of the word "racist" because you used it in the wrong way by accusing me of supposedly being "racist" when I just simply insulted the entire Province and NOT the people in it. :) Besides, I live there: I should know how people are :D especially since most of them can't even talk/speak, type/write correctly at all in English :) I rarely see any Quebecers that are capable of doing things in English properly because most of them, are lazy fucks who doesn't put ANY efforts in English classes :D

The stress of school only compared to not being able to go to college because I had to work to pay my bills? Super sucky. Adulthood is beyond stressful; paying for housing, utilities, food, car maintenance/insurance & health insurance (and having to pick a health insurance plan without any help) annnd hoping that your paychecks will be able to cover the expenses due or that the bills you can’t pay don’t have late fees that are super expensive / if you overdraft your bank account that you can repay it before overdraft fees quadruple... LoL it’s A LOT. Be thankful you’re a teenager.

    what people dont understand is that all songs dont have to have a meaning. this is a fun summer song to dance to and sing along to for fun. this will not change and or influence anyone and it wasnt intended to anyway

      Ur probably too young to know the song, but I remember when my family left Yugoslavia when I was a kid and my mother would play go west by the pet shop boys over and over. I thank my parents everyday for bringing us to the USA and giving us the opportunity to grow and flourish in the free world, the land of dreams! Just wish we weren't living under trumps government!
