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.
Dialogue -- Chicago ("We can make it happen, yeah! We can make it happen!" Always love this song, especially now.)
No Surrender -- Bruce Springsteen
Little Pink Houses -- John Mellencamp
If I Can Dream -- Elvis
This Land Is Your Land -- Bruce Springsteen
Blowin' in the Wind -- Bob Dylan
The Horse -- Originally by Cliff Knobles, but I love hearing it at the 4th of July parade by a school marching band
America, The Beautiful
America ("of thee I sing")
The Star-Spangled Banner (as sung by the crowd at any sporting event)

Great list- you came up with some that I had forgotten about. My list is up, too, if you'd like to take a peek:

Love your list! I was just discussing Little Pink Houses with someone, about its real meaning. Still, having spent time in Mellencamp's Indiana (folks are Hoosiers and I lived in IN for several years, too), I know of lots of little pink houses where Average Joe lives! It's OUR America!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Pink Houses is a popular choice this week! Thanks for playing!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the Horse. I was in the color guard back in high school and whenever the marching band played it, we would stand up in the bleachers and dance. So much fun!
