Independence
Bell - July 4, 1776(ego4u.com)
"... How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom ruffled,
The calmly gliding Delaware!
How the bonfires and the torches
Lighted up the night's repose,
And from the flames, like fabled Phoenix,
Our glorious liberty arose!..."
Songs :
Saturday
in the Parkby Chicago
"I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing,
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs"
James Brown - Livin' in America - ROCKY(YouTube) + LYRICS "You might not be looking for the promised land,
but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans),
Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas)..."
(lyricsbox.com) "This little ditty is dedicated to America’s birthday, the fourth of freakin’ July!
Let the funky sounds of patriotism wash over you as you enjoy the grillin’, swillin’ and chillin’ with your loved ones.
Or maybe the interwebs is your loved one, in which case consider this video a great big old happy birthday hug!
Happy Fourth Of July music lovers!"
