Other than the obvious American patriotic songs like "The Star-Spangled Banner" or "America the Beautiful" what are some other great American patriotic songs that could go on a 4th of July playlist?

Celtic Woman - O America! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfxUohD_PlM O, America you're calling, I can hear you calling me: You are calling me to be true to thee, True to thee... I will be. O, America no weeping, Let me heal your wounded heart. I will keep you in my keeping, Till there be... a new start. And I will answer you, and I will take your hand, And lead you... to the sun: And I will stand by you... do all that I can do, And we will be... as one. O, America I hear you, From your prairies to the sea, [ From: http://www.elyrics.net] From your mountains grand, and all through this land, You are beautiful to me. And... O, America you're calling, I can hear you calling me: You are calling me to be true to thee, True to thee... I will be. And I will answer you, and I will take your hand, And lead you... to the sun: And I will stand by you... do all that I can do, And we will be... as one. O, America you're calling... I will ever answer thee. Lyrics from eLyrics.net

the fourth verse of the star spangled banner

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation.
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave![12]

Muse - Uprising

Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, transmissions will resume
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(So come on)

Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back
It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack
You know that, their time's coming to an end
We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

My favorite patriotic song is The Grand Old Rag by Billy Murray (1906) Another one that I like, "She's Old Glory" by Stuart Hamblen (1950) has, unfortunately, never made it to Youtube.

Here are some of my other favorites:

• The Star-Spangled Banner--Anna Case (1917)

• Yankee Rose--The Revelers (1927)

• What Kind of an American Are You?--Arthur Fields (1917)

• Dixie--The Metropolitan Mixed Chorus (1916)

• The Fiery Bear--Jack Holden and Frances Kay (1950)

• The Red We Want is the Red We've Got (in the Old Red, White and Blue)--Ralph Flanagan (1950)

• God, Please Protect America--The Sunshine Boys Quartet (1951)

• Back in the USA--Chuck Berry (1959)

Maybe not Patriotic, but I like Toby Keith - Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.

Pretty much sums it up for me.
