Story about this misheard lyric by: Leona The speakers were terrible in the kitchen where I worked in the late ‘90s. They were still marketing the whole Midcentury thing, as they were a drive-in. I didn’t know the real lyrics until literally three days ago, in 2022. |

"American Woman"
The Insulting Lyrics: Don't come hangin' around my door;
I don't want to see your face no more. Why They're Insulting: Self-explanatory. In fact, many of the lines in the rest of the song are of an insulting nature.

"American Woman"
The Lyrics: American Woman, said get away American Woman, listen what I say Don't come hangin' around my door I don't need your war machines I don't need your ghetto scenes Coloured lights can hypnotize Sparkle someone else's eyes Now woman, get away from me American woman, mama let me be.
Why: The continent of America is part of the word American in this song and title. "American Woman" was a #1 hit song for the Canadian group, the Guess Who in the first few months of 1970. With the vocals of lead singer Burton Cummings really selling this tune. It was a #1 tune the same week as the Kent State University, in Ohio, massacre on May 4, 1970 where students were protesting against President Nixon expanding the Vietnam War into Cambodia, and four students were shot by National Guardsmen. The "American Woman" being referenced by the Guess Who is the Statue of Liberty.

"Laughing"
The Lyrics: Time goes slowly but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone You took me by surprise I didn't realize that you were laughing. Why: "Laughing" was the Guess Who's third hit in the States, going all the way up to #8 on the charts there in 1969. Written by Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, with Burton Cummings vocals pointing to a guy who didn't realize the best years with a woman have just happened and therefore leaving us kind of depressed despite the continuing Guess Who uptempo jazz/rock beat, it was a hit that still has much impact to today. (By the way, if you think I'm a fan of the Guess Who and Burton Cummings, you got that right). In 1970, the Guess Who was about to change into a more hard rock sound, but the depressing lyrics that were uptempo were to continue, and the first tune in that change was about to address an issue that was on a lot of people's mind in not only Canada but also the U.S.

| "These Eyes"
The Lyrics: These eyes watched you bring my world to an end.
This heart could not accept and pretend. The hurtin's on me yeah, But I will never be free no no no. You took the vow with me Why: "These Eyes" was the Guess Who's second hit in the U.S.. It was released in December 1968, and made it to #6 in the states in the spring of 1969. "These Eyes", as with "Undun" was a very uptempo jazz/rock beat tune, but with Burton Cummings' vocals about a guy who's recently wed wife leaves him one couldn't help to wonder how depressed he might be.
