What Songs For a Fireworks Playlist?

We had a bunch of neighbors over on the 4th for fireworks. I ran up and downloaded a few songs for the background music.

Here's the list I had

Jock Jam's "Let's get Ready to Rumble"
Toby Keith "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue"
Neil Diamond "America"
Martina McBride "Indepence Day"
Jimi Hendrix "National Anthem"
Van Halen "Jump"
Def Leppard "Rocket"
Bruce Springsteen "Born in the USA"

That was my quick attempt at a list. What other songs should have been there?


The grand finale of the show consisted of eight large fountains with 20 fountain tubes in each, duck taped to a 12 ' metal pole. There were three fountains on top, and then fountains pointed in all diferent directions as you proceed down the pole. The comical part for the neighbors was watching me and my friends on ladders trying to get them all lit before being showered with sparks. I hope everyone had a great fourth of July.

Killer the song you are thinking of is called "Mr. Lincoln". It is a great song same with America by Waylon. Really I don't think you could go wrong with any of their music though :thumb

 My Wife and I saw Josh Gracin and Darryl Worley in concert a few weeks ago. It was at Eagle Mountain Pony Express Days. The theme of the "days" was We Support Our Troops. Josh brought up a local seven year old boy on stage who lost his dad due to the war in Iraq. He sang a song to him he had wriiten about losing a dad to war. Darryl Worley also sang have you forgotten. Talk about heart-felt. Definite got to add those songs.
