«We're an American Band» er ein song av Grand Funk Railroad frå albumet med same namn. Det vart den første singelen deira som nådde toppen av den amerikanske singellista[2] den 29. september 1973, på 25-årsdagen til Mark Farner. Songen var skriven av Don Brewer og produsert av Todd Rundgren. Songen vart sungen av Brewer, og ikkje Farner, som vanlegvis song på Grand Funk-songane.

Songen låg på 99. plassen på lista til VH1 over dei 100 beste hardrocksongane gjennom tidene.[3]

Opphav

I følgje rockejournalisten Dave Marsh i boka hans The Heart of Rock and Soul, turnerte Grand Funk med den britiske gruppa Humble Pie tidleg i 1973. Etter ein konsert sat dei to gruppene og drakk i ein bar då dei byrja å diskutere kva som var best av britisk og amerikansk rock. Don Brewer reiste seg opp og skrytte av amerikanske rockeheltar som Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard og Elvis Presley, og ropte ut, «We're an American band!». Dette skal ha vore inspirasjonen til å skrive songen dagen etter. Det vart òg laga ein musikkvideo til songen der dei spelar songen, og driv med aktivitetar som basketball, sykling og vassport.

Den originale singelen vart gjeven ut på ein gulfarga, gjennomsiktig vinyl.
