Happy 4th of July, my American brethren and sistren! I thought it would be unpatriotic if I posted a sexy song or the Habenera from Carmen or Beethoven’s 7th, 2nd movement. Not only that, it would be fucking pretentious. So I found this piece of fluffy nostalgia:
Will this song be around in 50 more years? 100? Time will tell, time will tell. Maybe I underestimate; lookie here: In 2010, Billboard named the song the 20th sexiest of all time (source: youtube). It does say “the thought of rubbin’ you is getting so exciting” after all. But with that tempo and those haircuts and harmonies, sex is not the first thing I think of when I hear it. It’s not even the second thing I think of….While I’m all for sex in the afternoon, sex to the sounds of this song? More like BBQ, deviled eggs, potato salad, and badminton. In other words, perfect for the 4th of July.
I did find this, which really is a 4th of July song. I like it pretty well, it’s short, and this guy is funny:

Ahh Twink, let me help ya out here.
and another for all of your fans and one in particular
Thanks for the musical input, Jon. I sort of missed Waylon Jennings–wrong demographic or something….too young and a city girl from Detroit. But I liked that second song better than the first one and it makes sense that it’s his son….I like old school country music, but am not too familiar with it. Both of these songs seem to have closer ties to that old sound than what has been called “country music” for the last, what–25 years? Some of it is so overproduced and fluffy.
These are good 4th of July songs! Hope you are staying cool. It’s hotter than a June bride in a feather bed around here…(how’s that for a country expression?).
