"Americanos" is a song by English singer Holly Johnson, released in 1989 as the second single from his debut solo album Blast. It was written by Johnson, and produced by Andy Richards and Steve Lovell, with additional production from Dan Hartman.[1]


The song reached No. 4 in the UK and was a commercial success across Europe.[2] A music video was filmed to promote the single. This featured an affulent American family and their somewhat poorer but good hearted neighbours each watching a televised lottery show.[3]

Critical reception


Upon release, Chris Heath of Smash Hits described the song as an "'80s update of David Bowie's Young Americans in both its content and its spirit, where he acknowledges the superficiality of the American dream but isn't narrow-minded enough to simply condemn it."[4]New Musical Express noted the song's "acid irony".[5] Steve Sutherland of Melody Maker described the song as having "skirt-twirling Latinate sarcasm".[6]
