101 good things about the US.

[deskuser]

RUlookingup was kind enough to start a positive thread about things he liked about Britain and the British. I feel the need to reciprocate having met many Americans with the vast majority being charming ,generous ,warm and civil.

So here goes

1. Hollywood - its products have been a big part of my life and dreams. Even though a lot of rubbish has been produced over the years it is irrelevant compared to the gems that have made me laugh and cry that I will never forget.

4. Their National Parks - Stunningly beautiful and unspoilt in a rugged way of which we have no equivalents.

Great thread. It's good to see someone else's perspective on the US of A. Especially since we're mostly complaining about what's not right!

Thanks.

And the songs about those places!

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
I got a gal in Kalamazoo
Don't want to boast but I know she's the toast of Kalamazoo
(Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo)

Years have gone by, my my how she grew
I liked her looks when I carried her books in Kalamazoo
(Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo)

I'm gonna send away, hoppin' on a plane, leavin' today
Am I dreamin'? I can hear her screamin'
"Hiya, Mr. Jackson"
Everything's OK, A-L-A-M-A-Z-O

Oh, what a gal, a real pipperoo
I'll make my bid for that freckle-faced kid I'm hurryin' to
I'm goin' to Michigan to see the sweetest gal in Kalamazoo
(Zoo, zoo)
(Zoo, zoo, zoo, Kalamazoo)
K (K)
A (A)
L-A-M-A-Z-O
(Oh, oh, oh, oh what a gal, a real pipperoo)
(We're goin' to Michigan to see the sweetest gal in Kalamazoo)
(Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo)
(Kalamazoo!!)
