      if you mean the USA then wtf - the music sang there originates from the UK and Ireland as well as parts of Europe - think about it mate and it's obvious which came first. But since England has been invaded by many countries - Denmark and France to name two, our music has influences from these cultures - the North East accent comes from the Viking settlers a thousand years ago.
