‘Take me to America’ is a song by Dubioza Kolektiv, a Bosnian avant-garde dub rock band, and its finding a new life online. More than a decade after its release, the song has recently gone viral on social media, after Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for the FIFA World Cup. But behind the catchy chorus it has a deeper message, one that pokes fun not just at Balkan stereotypes, but also at the idea of the American dream.
