Need music suggestions
« on: June 03, 2008, 06:40:19 PM »
Alright, so I'm throwing a 4th of July bash though as we live in a city-centre apartment, I've got no garden which unfortuantely means no BBQ. So as an alternative we're gonna grill up some hot dogs and hamburgers indoors, gorge on taco salad, pumpkin pie and rootbeer floats. After we've stuffed ourself silly its on to some good old fashioned American beer pong and then on into town for a pubcrawl whilst sporting uncle sam hats  ;D

The point of all this, is that I need some tunes for background music and I'd like it to be along the 4th of July theme. I'll listen to pretty much anything so all song suggestions anyone has to offer are welcome... the cheesier the better!

Any ideas?

Neil Diamond - America  ;D

Dave Matthews Band - American Baby

Guess Who - American Woman

Depending on what part of the States you hail from you could also include songs about that area (ie someone from the Boston area could include Dirty Water or Tessie).

That's actually not a very patriotic song, but a great song!
