    Default Songs for the 4th of July

    I'm making a Playlist for America's Independence Day and I'd like some suggestions on what you think would be the best ones.

    Here's what I have already:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRCQypnVeXA"]Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA"[/ame]

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRUjr8EVgBg&feature=related"]Ray Charles' "America the Beautiful"[/ame]

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKukOSBybyw"]James Brown's "Living in America"[/ame]

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lWyBD9eSfk"]Bruce Springsteen's "This Land Is Your Land"[/ame]

    Whitney Houston's "Star-Spangled Banner"


    Glenn Frey's "It's Better in the USA"

    Any suggestions?

    And as much as I dislike Bruce Springsteen, this one is pretty good.

    Thanks for the suggestions! Keep 'em comin'! Personally, I'm looking for songs that make you feel good about America / being an American.

    A Month Of Sundays!

    There's Saturday In The Park by Chicago, which says 'think it was the Fourth of July'. I am not a fan but it works in this instance.

    American Tune - Paul Simon
    America - Simon & Garfunkel

    Bear with me, Soda, but Knopfler's Sailing To Philadelphia is an inspirational song about how Mason & Dixon drew their notorious line and dreamed of American liberty.

    Nancy, there might be something on [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/American-Anthems-Various/dp/B003IR1NV2/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1309777707&sr=1-4"]this album[/ame] that will help you. There are 3 discs so .... maybe

    Hope all my American friends on The Border have a great 4th of July. I'm off to a concert in London with DD1 today so won't be here to chat. Normal service will resume tomorrow.
