  "Happy Birthday to You”
  The main problem in discussing American popular culture is also one of its main characteristics: it wont stay American. No matter what it is, whether it is films, food and fashion,music, casual sports or slang, its soon at home elsewhere in the world.! There are severaltheories why American popular culture has had this appeal(吸引力)。
