Anyone recall an 80's band with a song about Americans on vacation?

Partial lyrics: We're on holiday, we're from American. We've just arrived and we want to see the queen. ( repeat first line ), How do you eat that stuff? why do you talk that way ? ( first line again ).

Think it was a punk band. Maye the band was English, too.

Friend's brother was a DJ in college and brought home a huge selection of music I'd never heard before.I was really into alternative music and recall that song quite well. But I never heard it again. Not the radio or on a college station.

Fairly typical mid-80s fare, lots of lingerie, halter tops, etc.

I don't believe so. Nice one! Their third and last great album. I hate how Hysteria sounds. Too glittery, too slick.

^One of three songs produced by Mike Howlett of Gong and Strontium 90 fame.

The bassist was Jon Brant, who played on four Cheap Trick albums from '82-86 while Tom Petersson was taking a breather.

Really? I love the sound of that album. Yeah, some songs have like four or more guitar tracks, but I like it that way.
