"American Girl" by Total Zeros

 

I'd say happy Independence Day, but......meh.

Here's Total Zeros with their holiday float rendition of "American Girl," a 1977 classic rock staple from Gainesville, Florida heartland rocker Tom Petty.

Though Total Zeros hail from Jersey City, New Jersey, the footage of the parade is shot in Lebanon, New Jersey.... along Main Street between Cokesbury and Sutton Road, across from the Twin Goats Cafe.

Everybody in the borough is lined up along the streets, being all patriotic and shit.

Good times.

This footage was from (checks notes) LAST YEAR.

Oh, what a difference a year makes.

For more Petty covers, Echo Screen's version of "Mary Jane's Last Dance" can be found here, and "Free Fallin'" by the Red Stones can be found here.
