Over here in the U.S. of A., we are celebrating a three/four day weekend our liberation from the nasty British. It’s a long weekend of bar-b-ques, pool parties, fireworks, dranking and flag-waving. It’s also a weekend for blasting your hand off and setting fire to the backyard with the newly legalize fireworks and filming it hoping to win $100,000 on America’s Funniest Videos. For every professional fireworks show, there seem to be certain songs that must be played like The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The 1812 Overture, which is the finale song for 99.9% of the shows across America.
Lee Greenwood had to know he sang a song for the ages when he laid this down on tape. No other song brings forth the drunk singers and gag reflex more than this one. (The video is the actual video for the song and free of September 11th images).
However, this really is my favorite song representing summer. I want this video to be my life.
What gets you ready for some summertime fun?
