Re: All Songs With a July 4th Reference |
Without googling you say?
Dang - well what immediately came to mind was this little song from around 1981, by an English post [punk band something like U2 -
"Independence Day"...
they repeat that title a couple times in the chorus...
who was that?
Anyone remember that?

Re: All Songs With a July 4th Reference |
OK, none of you are gonna remember that song, you were shall we say, In The Dark at the time, or Without A Net.
So I cheated, with my little clam shell running on OS 9.1 -
Try to nfind this on youtube...
it's a good little tune that never got past college radio staions in the USA at the time - circa 1981...
The Comsat Angels “Independence Day”
A declaration
Of the intention
To stop extension into my airspace
I'll put the flags up
Pull up the anchor
And then you'll know you're in a different place
And I can't stand up and I can't sit down
'cause a great big problem stop me in my tracks
I can't relax 'cause I haven't done a thing
and I can't do a thing 'cause I can't relax
You've got your habits
I've got my customs
I'm sure you know it's got to be this way
No hesitation
And in the future
We'll celebrate on Independence Day
And I can't stand up and I can't sit down
'cause a great big problem stop me in my tracks
I can't relax 'cause I haven't done a thing
And I can't do a thing 'cause I can't relax
Independence Day
Independence Day
Independence Day
Independence Day
Hang out the flags ring in the new,
We should be dancing on the city streets
I kmow the tune, I know the words,
My mouth is open but I cannot speak
And I can't stand up and I can't sit down
'cause a great big problem stop me in my tracks
I can't relax 'cause I haven't done a thing
And I can't do a thing 'cause I can't relax
Independence Day
Independence Day
Independence Day
Independence Day
