Oklahoma U.S.A. is a song written by Ray Davies and performed by British rock band The Kinks on their 1971 LP Muswell Hillbillies.
[1] The lyrics describe a young woman who leads a monotonous working class life, and imagines in her dreams she is in various Hollywood films, such as Oklahoma!
"[2][3] The piece differs from the other songs on Muswell Hillbillies in the fact that it features a much quieter sound and overall feel.
Mick Avory's drums are absent, and the only instruments used are an acoustic guitar, accordion, and keyboards (piano/organ).
Indie rock group Yo La Tengo covered it on their 1990 album Fakebook.
