:cheers: :bbq:
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:
Maine is probably Miley central.
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.

Are these officially recognized in any way?
Oh yeah, yes we can!
I prefer the battle of hymn of the republic.

And I prefer Maple Leaf Forever. What of it?

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.
Is it strange that I have never heard the Miley Cyrus song?
...Should I youtube it? :ph34r:
It's a reasonably catchy little ditty. Video is nothing special.
Happy Independence Day yanks. I'll eat burgers tonight.

Congratulations on throwing off the shackles of British oppression.

Lili Marleen?
Sandy is one of my favorite Springsteen songs, pleased to see it getting airplay on his turf.
Yay and I even have a day off.
Not really, my kids are sick.

The fuck it is, any you want to know why? Because when they started playing it before the National Anthem at NFL games back in the late '80s it was the commercial endorsement, the very seedpod of Teabaggery bullshit.
It's fucking redneck noise, full of hatred.
I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm white
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
Like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and other Lost Cause Mythology while using code words for racism
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
With my Bushmaster AR15 swapped out with a 5.56 barrel and a modified lower receiver for full auto
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
as long as spic children from Central American humanitarian crises aren't allowed in to take our jobs and eat our food and shit, and what's with all these fucking Pakistanis at the Dunkin' Donuts anywayFuck Lee Greenwood.

America Fuck Yeah is just explicitly about America's complete failure from 9/11 on :lol:
Los Federales are closed today, but I don't see it as a holiday as much as I'm losing 8 hours of pay. Therefore I'm going to play a lot of Springsteen, because it used to be spending that much money was worth a blowjob, but not anymore, not with the costs of blowjobs rising beyond today's stagnated wages.

What P Wig said. I'm sad that because of it, I like a Miley Cyrus song. :blush:

I thought about cooking on the grill today, but fuck it. I'm feeling lazy. The womenfolk can do all the work.
You threw. Our tea. In the harbour. And then you changed the spelling of harbour.

It was the principle of the thing. We considered ourselves British and so should enjoy all the rights of other freeborn Britons, screw that 'virtual representation' noise.
Anyway I learned something new about the Revolution this year, the Howe brothers were Whigs and sympathetic to the Colonial cause with sure explained why they were so wimpy in prosecuting the war. Like George B McClellan they just couldn't burn down the rebel cities and butcher the rebel soldiers.
I hate God Bless the USA. Glad Texas has better taste than that.
Texas + taste in a sentence? :unsure:

Henry started screamed 'the bad guys!' and started crying. I had to work a bit to convince him the bad guys were not attacking us.
Who are the bad guys? Terrorists? Mexicans? The RKKA?
Sooners, Aggies and Red Raiders.

There has been a tradition of "World Cup songs" of usually cringeworthy quality, but unless I misremember they would focus on the game/team/host country and not on national pride.
You will get local songs, though where people sing of their love for their home town/area (especially in sappy Schlager songs or Oompah Volksmusik).
Celebrated the 4th with Mexicans. Good food and lots of fireworks balanced out the bad beer and music.

I listened to that Mexican accordian stuff the whole time I was in Austin working a couple years back. I'll admit I thought it was OK, but the downside is every single song sounds exactly the fucking same as every other fucking song.

Beppe Severgnini in "Ciao America" points out that it would be inconceivable for a German to sing "Back in Germany" (punctuated with the uh-huh-huh-oh-yeah! background singing) the way Chuck Berry sings "Back in the USA." Americans, on the other hands, think nothing of it. Of course he's glad he's livin' in the USA, no matter how many times we've had to jail him. :cool:

No Heimat schlager? I guess it's good news given the absolutely appalling level of this sub-genre of pop music.
