Living In America is a song performed by James Brown, and composed by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight. It was originally released in 1985, when it was prominently featured in the motion picture Rocky IV.
Weird Al Yankovic covered the song on his 1986 album Polka Party! in a parody entitled Living With A Hernia.
WWE's Lilian Garcia sung Living In America at the 75th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while on the WWE's (at the time WWF) parade float.

It was James Brown who had a top ten hit with "Living in America" in the mid 80's.
Don't know if that was the original or not.

That was James Brown, wasn't it?
There's a song out now called 'America' by Razorlight, could be that also.
