A little fun 4th of July style:

Make a mix of at least 10 songs w/or without art that sum up Independence Day for you.




1. The Star Spangled Banner - Jimi Hendrix

Because I think every Independence Day party or BBQ should start out with this!

2. We're An American Band - Grand Funk Railroad

Have a cold one, and toast to American style rock and roll!

3. Cheeseburger in Paradise - Jimmy Buffett

Because it's not a summer party without Buffett, is it?

4. America - Neil Diamond

On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America



5. Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Glory days well they'll pass you by,
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye,
Glory days, glory days



6. Pink Houses - John Mellencamp

Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me?
Ain't that America, we're somethin' to see, baby.
Ain't that America, the home of the free.
Little pink houses for you and me.


7. Dixie Chicken - Little Feat

We always end up with this one on at BBQs at some point.

If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixieland


8. American Girl - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else


9. 4th of July - X

This one makes everybody's 4th of July mixes it seems.

10. America The Beautiful - Ray Charles

Getting settled in to watch the fireworks? Gather together and end the festivities with this wonderful rendition.

Listen to the mix!



I could have really expanded this list and taken you through the day, from preparing that potato salad, to greeting your guests all the way through to the fireworks, but I digress, I'll leave it at the 10 requested for this meme. :) Maybe soon I'll do that summer BBQ playlist if you guys want one enough.

We may not have a perfect country, but it's our country. Have a safe and fun 4th!
10:43 am - Happy Canada D'Eh! :)
