Considering that “Over There” pokes fun at American jingoism and prejudices do you feel your version does the same? Because I’m American I’m familiar with all the preconcieved notions and assumptions about Europeans that he’s playing on; I’ve heard stuff like that all my life. But, if any person around here were to spout this stuff as fact, like the narrarator in the song does, most people would think he was an idiot; so, to me, it’s very clearly a song making fun of some backwards thinking Americans, (like perhaps our president). But, because I’m not familiar with your prejudices and assumptions I can’t tell just by reading the lyrics if your version follows a similar theme.
