Anyways, Spotify has done a per-state list of songs that are played significantly more often by their users on Independence Day than on other days:

lol, Maryland and David Bowie, surrounded by Lee Greenwood Teabaggers.  Love it.

God Bless the USA's a great song.

As ironic as America Fuck Yeah might be, Born in the U.S.A. is explicitly about America's complete failure from 1972-present. :lol:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Also I really hope no one noticed when I asked if these were the officially canonized songs of America as recognized by the state governments. :sadblush:  I don't know what happened.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I prefer the battle of hymn of the republic.

And I prefer Maple Leaf Forever.  What of it?

Maine is probably Miley central.

And North Dakota. Though I suppose it has a surplus of young, horny dudes.

Come to think of it, I can't think of a patriotic German pop song. At least not a non-ironic one.

It's a reasonably catchy little ditty. Video is nothing special.

Happy Independence Day yanks. I'll eat burgers tonight.
