Grand Funk Railroad (also known as Grand Funk) is an American rock band. The Grand Funk Railroad lineup was highly popular during the 1970s, having sold over 25 million records and selling out arenas worldwide and having been awarded four RIAA gold albums in 1970, the most for any American Group that year. The current Grand Funk Railroad lineup uses the nickname "The American Band", from their hit song "We're an American Band". A popular take on the band during their heyday was that the critics hated them, but audiences loved them. Contrary to the name, the band is not a real funk band; but rather an attempt to pun the name "Grand Trunk Railroad" as that railroad went through Flint; although some sources cite the band's "The Loco-Motion" cover song as a funk track.

On the road for forty days, Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze. Sweet, sweet Connie -- doin' her act, She had the whole show and that's a natural fact. Up all night with Freddy King, I got to tell you poker's his thing. A-booze 'n ladies keep me right, As long as we can make it to the show tonight.		CHORUS We're an American band. We're an American band. We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down. We're an American band.
Four young chaquitas in Omaha, Was waitin' for the band to return from the show. Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night, The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight. Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan, They was out to meet the boys in the band. They said, "Come on, dudes, let's get it on," And we proceeded to tear that hotel down.		CHORUS

CHORUS		We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo. We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo. We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo.
