"America, Fuck Yeah" is the theme song to the movie Team America: World Police. The song is a parody of 1980s hard rock anthems, which emphasize electric guitar and synthesizer. It is very similar in style to "Danger Zone", the theme to the 1986 film Top Gun, and also to Randy Newman's tongue-in-cheek ode to Los Angeles, "I Love L.A. " and Dennis Madalone's "America We Stand As One".

- "America, Fuck Yeah" is the theme song to the movie Team America: World Police. The song is a parody of 1980s hard rock anthems, which emphasize electric guitar and synthesizer. It is very similar in style to "Danger Zone", the theme to the 1986 film Top Gun, and also to Randy Newman's tongue-in-cheek ode to Los Angeles, "I Love L.A. " and Dennis Madalone's "America We Stand As One". With lyrics like "coming again to save the motherfucking day" and "freedom is the only way," the song is a microcosm of the movie, a satire of the United States and jingoism. It glorifies a satirized "American way of life" that Team America fights to defend, including Wal-Mart, the NFL, slavery, and Valium. The song was written by South Park creator Trey Parker and performed by his band DVDA. In the movie the song plays whenever Team America leaves its fortress in Mount Rushmore. At one point, however, the upbeat song is replaced with a slow and sad version (the "Bummer Remix"), indicative of the personal turmoil experienced by the team. Because it contains thirty-seven instances of the word "fuck", the song received very little radio airplay. However, on January 26, 2006 the song was voted number 52 in the annual Hottest 100 aired by Australian national youth radio network, Triple J. The song goes on to list several American companies, activities, products and organizations, as well as several others foreign, each followed by a hearty "Fuck Yeah!" It includes a reference to slavery. Excepted are Bed Bath & Beyond and Republicans which receive unenthusiastic and scattered "fuck yeah" chants, while sportsmanship and books are greeted with total silence.
- America, Fuck Yeah is de themesong van de Amerikaanse film Team America: World Police uit 2004. Het nummer is een parodie op de hardrockmuziek uit de jaren '80 van de 20ste eeuw, met opvallende elektrische gitaren en synthesizers. Het nummer lijkt sterk qua stijl op "Danger Zone", de themesong van de film Top Gun uit 1986, en ook op "I Love L.A. " van Randy Newman en "America We Stand As One" van Dennis Madalone. Met teksten als "coming again to save the motherfucking day" ("trekken erop uit om de motherfucking dag te redden") en "freedom is the only way" ("vrijheid is de enige manier") is het nummer een satire op het Amerikaanse chauvinisme. Het gaat over de Amerikaanse levensstijl die Team America gesatiriseerd in de film verdedigt. Zo wordt er aandacht geschonken aan de Wal-Mart, NFL, borstimplantaten, McDonalds, Starbucks en Diazepam, waarna deze termen in het nummer gevolgd wordt door een luidkeels "fuck yeah". Het nummer is geschreven door South Park-bedenker Trey Parker en uitgevoerd door zijn band DVDA. In de film wordt het nummer gebruikt wanneer Team America zijn fort in Mount Rushmore verlaat. Op een bepaald moment in de film wordt een langzamere versie van "America, Fuck Yeah" gebruikt, de zogenaamde "Bummer Remix". Omdat het nummer 37 keer het woord "fuck" bevat is het liedje zelden uitgezonden op de radio. Toch stond het nummer op 26 januari 2006 op nummer 52 in de jaarlijke "Hottest 100", een lijst die wordt samengesteld door de Australische jongerenzender Triple J.
