Jayne County - Fun In Amerika

Copied!

Huh! Well alright!
It's the home of rock 'n roll, hot dogs, pizza, Marilyn Monroe
Miami beach when I grow old
Porno flicks and Hollywood, transvestites and Johnny B Goode
Twist and shout like a New York Doll Yeah
That's why I said
Fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Roses are red
I'm having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
We're having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Violets are blue
It could happen to you
Andy Warhol, coke and speed, Elvis, Dallas and Dynasty
I Love Lucy and Kennedy
It's just like living in a circus
Fun, fun, fun, fun, nothing can stop us
Home of the brave, land of the free, but not for me
No, that's why I said
Fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
I'm having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Roses are rеd
Fun, fun, fun in Amerika
She's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amеrika
Violets are blue
It could happen to you
Well alright
Fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
I'm having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Roses are red
She's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
That's fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Violets are blue
She's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
They're having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
That's fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Roses are red
She's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
They're having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Who's having fun, fun, fun in Amerika
Violets are blue
It could happen to you
Yeah!

Biography

edit bio

Jayne County is an American punk frontwoman, activist, actress and producer, known as one of the first transgender rock stars. While not the most mainstream figure of ‘70s punk, she is cited as a big influence to many bands and artists of the time, and has a strong cult following.

She started her career in theater, becoming friends with the likes of Andy Warhol and Jackie Curtis, which led her into the New York punk scene. There, she formed the band Queen Elizabeth, which is said to have been a huge inspiration for David Bowie. Later, she moved to England and formed The Electric Chairs, the band that would be her big breakthrough.

In the years since, she has continued making music with a number of different projects, as well as continued acting, creating visual art and writing, remaining an important cult figure in the punk and queer scenes.

Her original stage name was Wayne County, named after the Michigan county where Detroit is the seat, as a tribute to the Detroit proto-punk scene. Later, she changed it to Jayne County to match her real name after transitioning, Jayne Rogers.
