Spaniard here. We’re having a garden paella here in a small town in northern Spain and there is a local celebration that we can hear from our backyard. The song is “Country Roads”. It was completely random because it came after a bunch of typical Spanish songs, and I said, “well, this may be the most American song ever”. Now I’m thinking if you’d agree and which others would deserve to be at the top as well.

Seven Nation Army is probably the best known American song of the last 20 years.
People don’t really associate with “America” though. I’ve even had a few Europeans try to tell me the song was from Europe.

Party in the USA was the first song that popped into my head
