The line Sweet Sweet Connie was doing her act is about Connie Hamzy, a famous groupie known as Sweet Connie. Some of her rumored conquests include Brewer, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Huey Lewis, Peter Criss, and Bill Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas. This song made her famous, and in 2010 VH1 ran a special about her life. According to Hamzy, she didnt have the whole band, as stated in the lyrics, but she came pretty close - Mark Farner was a holdout. “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 thats a natural fact. Up all night with Freddy King, I got to tell you pokers his thing. A-booze n ladies keep me right, As long as we can make it to the show tonight. CHORUS Were an American band. Were an American band. Were coming to your town, well help you party it down. Were an American band. Four young chaquitas in Omaha, Was waitin for the band to return from the show. Feelin good, feelin right, its 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, lets get it on, And we proceeded to tear that hotel down. CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS Were an American Band, Ooo-ooo. Were an American Band, Ooo-ooo. Were an American Band, Ooo-oo...”
