"God Bless the USA" is an American patriotic song written and recorded by country musician Lee Greenwood. The first Greenwood album it appears on is 1984's You've Got a Good Love Comin'. It reached No. 7 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart when originally released in the spring of 1984, and was played at the 1984 Republican National Convention with President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan in attendance, but the song gained greater prominence during the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991, as a way of boosting morale.

The popularity of the song rose sharply since the September 11, 2001 attacks and during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and the song was re-released as a single, re-entering the country music charts at #16. The song was also re-recorded in 2003 and released as "God Bless the USA 2003". The song could often be heard on the radio after those events, and versions of the song are widely distributed online. With the three top five appearances in the top 100 Country Music charts during the song's lifetime (1991, 2001, and 2003), it has become the only song to do so, beating the record held by Chubby Checker's dance song, The Twist, which went to number one in 1960, and again in 1962. Lee Greenwood also wrote a Canadian version of this song called God Bless Canada. The song also rose up in popularity in May of 2011 when Osama bin Laden was killed by an American raid in Pakistan.

Enjoy XD People, may I remind you that this does express the freedom of speech, I'm supporting the country, and if you think it is offensive, I am trully sorry, but this song is how I did wanted it, and comes to question of how the chipmunks would really sing it, the Chipmunks are part of the American culture, and do also express the right to sing this song if it were real, I'm sure many people would support it. Those who don't support it, may I remind you that this is not a OFFICIAL National Anthem. This song express the word God, and if it were to be official, then it would mean one's God whom ever it may be. This song expresses the word God more than a few times, unlike the Pledge of Allegiance, expresses the word God many times and is going to offend some one. Agien I apolagize. May I also repeat my self, this is a expression of freedome of speech, I amd also in no way steeling credit from the people who truely sing this song (jump5), I thank you for you're time, and I hope you like the song...

One guy was a freshman, so we called ourselves "Three Men & A Baby." Here we are singing an arrangement of "God Bless the USA."
