4th of July songs

Happy 4th everyone!
I didn't realize there were so many songs about the 4th of July, many of them with that title. That realization happened last night while listening to Music Choice on TV when I heard Shooter Jennings' song titled "4th of July". The only one I knew was Springsteen's "4th of July Asbury Park" (Sandy) although I didn't really know it until The Swoonworthiest included it on his live CD Courier. I think it remains my favorite 4th of July song.
But in doing a bit of research I've discovered others:
U2 4th Of July
GALAXIE 500 Fourth Of July (this was an early band of Luna's Dean Wareham)
DAVID BYRNE Independence Day
X Fourth Of July
SANTANA (with Everlast) Put Your Lights On
AIMEE MANN 4th Of July
ELLIOTT SMITH Independence Day
DAVE ALVIN Fourth Of July
Any others you can think of? Any favorites? Besides Ellis Paul, of course.
