Abstract

Released in 1980, Neil Diamond’s hit single “Coming To America ends with an interpolation of the traditional patriotic song, “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” Because of its patriotic theme, the song has been used in a variety of contexts, including as the theme song for Michael Dukakis’s 1988 presidential campaign. Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, Diamond modified the song’s lyrics during live performances: instead of “They’re comin’ to America,” towards the end, it became “Stand up for America.” http://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/America_(Neil_Diamond_song)
