Like Randy Newman's "I Love LA," this has some biting sarcastic lyrics overlaid by an otherwise rah-rah anthem - the Tubes were always unique and clever that way & too often unappreciated. I laugh whenever I hear it, because I recall a show in San Francisco in the 1970s when Fee Waybill would ride a rocking horse to the song. Best mix of comedy and music since the Bonzo Dog Band and Zappa.
