Fleshtones: American Beat '84

As Independence Day approaches, my thoughts turn to America as I choose my Saturday musical selection. Although a song from the soundtrack of a pre-Forrest Gump era Tom Hanks film, Bachelor Party, won't ever get confused with a patriotic tune such as "Grand Old Flag."

But "American Beat '84" is worth a listen.

Can you hear the American sound?
Have your heard the American sound?
Don't want to hear you put it down
I wanna make that clear in every town

If you watch closely, you'll find Hanks in the video.

Oh, when will Bachelor Party II be released? Will Hanks star in it?
