American Pie

ai generated text

Don McLean's song "American Pie" was released in 1971 and became a US number-one hit for four weeks in 1972, topping the charts in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The song's exceptional length, at 8 minutes and 42 seconds, made it the sixth longest song to enter the Billboard Hot 100. The song's lyrics cryptically allude to the jarring events and social changes experienced during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and its meaning has been debated for decades. In 2017, McLean's original recording was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress, and in 2022 he performed a 35-date tour to mark the 50th anniversary of the song.learn more on wikipedia
