"America, Fuck Yeah" is the theme song to the movie "". 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, breast implants, 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 leaves its fortress in Mt. 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 and organizations (among them McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Baseball, and Starbucks), as well as several which Americans commonly mistake for American (including Sushi), each followed by a hearty "Fuck Yeah!" Excepted are Bed Bath & Beyond and Republicans, which receive an unenthusiastic "fuck yeah," and Sportsmanship and Books which are greeted with total silence.
