Today's the fourth of July....

....so here's Bruce Springsteen singing "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)". This week the death was announced of Madam Marie, the fortune teller whose boardwalk booth is mentioned in the song's lyrics.
And here's Aimee Mann doing her 4th of July song.
Any more?

Aimee Mann
Rats! I saw the thread, and thought, "great, I can mention Aimee Mann, and that great line - "What a waste of gunpowder, and sky".
But you beat me to it.
I cant think of any others.
That is one of the best lines
EVER!
here's Galaxy 500's take on today
Soundgarden - 4th July
Elliott Smith - Independence Day
X - 4th of July
Here is ex-X member John Doe doing it live. The sound quality is very poor.
Bruce's other one
("Independence Day" from the Darkness tour in '78. Never seen that before.)
Martina McBride
By the power of Google I found this one. I think it's alright - never heard it before. Beginning is cheese but the rest is not half bad.
Grant Lee Buffalo - Homespun
"Unlike the famous fable revolution won't yield a firework show.
Unlike the famous fable revolution won't end on July the fourth.
I knew that a politically-charged American band like Grant Lee Buffalo couldn't go four albums without mention of July 4th. No video, I'm afraid.
Here's my 4th July song
Today is my 10th wedding anniversary. We used to listen to this one a lot in the run up.
Dave Alvin -Fourth of July
a bit sketchy
4th Amendment
No, the best Independence Day song EVER is the excellent '5th of July' by Terry Reid. Kind of an aftermath song.
Forgot about this
Some dodgy video but this is U2 4th of July
