It might help to mention that Americans often refer to any piece of music (with or without lyrics) as a "song".
But why? What if you want to refer to a song and the word for song no longer means song?
I haven't yet encountered a situation where using the word "song" to refer to a piece of music (rather than just those pieces of music with lyrics) resulted in an unresolvable ambiguity.
Most kids in Switzerland refer to a song, movement or any music cue as a "song" as well, not only Americans. I think, it has something to do with lack of real interest or education. But now we all know what the guy ment :-)
