Sincere posturing, outstretched arms, curly mullet, ripped jeans, cameltoe, pained close-ups, profile silhouette, blustery wind, fist-pumping, united-front lineup, rushing ocean waters... Wow! This video is like, ALL the 80s video cliches rolled into one.

Anyone else thing USA Dude was really Weird Al at first? Upon further inspection though, more like a cross between Weird Al and Daniel Day Lewis.

USA dude was horrible. He kept saying America as Uh-mer-UH-ca. So horrible. If you love it so much, say it RIGHT!. The third vowel is an "i." If that were his only transgression, I would let it slide.

I just saw your parody video on the internet. That is hysterical!

We've been laughing around the office all morning.

Great job.

Oh. My. God. Those were two of the most painful things I've had the pleasure of enduring.

1)USA Dude rocks! Except replace the word "rocks" with the phrase "is totally out of place, and although earnest, is the new master of cheese."

2)I'm with Allie on this. I want to learn the dance. Not the ones the girls did, but the one the keyboardist is doing. If that isn't swank, I don't know what is.
