Patriotic songs for July 4 cookout

[valleygirl]

Happy Independence Day! I'm getting my husband to put together a bunch of songs for background music for this afternoon's cookout, and I needed a few more suggestions for patriotic songs. I already have on my list:
Living in America--James Brown
Coming to America--Neil Diamond
God Bless the U.S.A.--Lee Greenwood
This Land Is Your Land
Stars and Stripes Forever
America the Beautiful

Can you think of any more fun American songs that we can put on a cd for the holiday party? Thanks in advance!

You've got all the good ones there. Have a wonderful cookout!

 

[Miss Lee]

You're a Grand Old Flag
My Country 'Tis of Thee
God Bless America
The Military Anthems - Every branch has one

And no list would be complete without Yankee Doodle!

OMG how could I forget the Battle Hymn of the Republic!!

Oh! Oh! Oh! How about Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man!?

(this is fun -- lol!)

I don't know why, but "Sweet Home Alabama" comes to mind...its about Alabama of course, but its so "American" isn't it?

 

[Aquajock]

Can't remember the singer, but I'll write a bit of the refrain:

"Oh I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free . . ."

You songstresses, help me out on the artist!

ETA: Okay, I'm an idiot: "God Bless The U.S.A." by Lee Greenwood, as Valleygirl noted in her original post!
Happy Fourth Of July!

Thanks so much for the ideas!! I'm adding your suggestions. I also came up with "Born in the USA" (Springsteen) and "The House I Live In" (Sinatra). Have a great Fourth, and thanks again!
