The artwork displayed on this page is for the original single version, the "Rock's Mix" was released with a red cover. Although uncredited, there is also an alternate remix version used in the video which has an approximate playing time of 4 minutes. This version was also issued as a cassingle in the United States. The video was filmed at Wembley Arena in London on 25 November 1989. Song meaningFrontman Ian Astbury stated in an interview that he wrote the song about the Americanization of European culture. "Several images sprang to mind as I was writing this song, it was kind of an observation of how European youth is becoming somewhat reluctantly Americanized. You know the references to the Star Spangled Banner. But again with all my lyrics I like to leave them open to people's interpretations and hope that people find themselves inside my songs." - Ian Astbury (1989)[1] During a 2010 live concert in The Hague, Netherlands, Astbury told the crowd "That song is written about Angela Davis, incredible woman, Black Panther, activist, feminist, radical thinker."
