The Fourth of July is here and Billboard went out to ask people what song best represents the holiday’s spirit, along with what must be at the cookout. From Katy Perry’s “Firework” to Miley Cyrus’ “Party In The USA,” the people speak up.
What song do you think best represents July 4th and what do you need at the cookout? Drop your opinion in the comments!
Tetris Kelly:
Happy Fourth of July everyone. It’s Tetris Kelly with Billboard News in the streets of Hollywood. I’m trying to find out, what are the Fourth of July anthems and what do I need to bring to the cookout? Fourth of July this weekend. What song represents Fourth of July the best? What are you playing?
Guest 1:
Ooh, definitely a song by Megan Thee Stallion- any song.
Okay, so it’s the Fourth of July. When you’re thinking about America and what songs should be playing, what’s gonna be on?
Guest 2:
“This Is America.”
“This Is America,” come on okay, she was right on it.
Guest 3:
I was thinking about mainly New York, because I love “Empire State of Mind” from my perspective.
Which version of “Empire State of Mind”?
Alicia Keys version.
What music are y’all playing at the cookout?
You know, you got a little R&B, you got a little bit of Pacific reggae, got a little bit of Caribbean reggae, you know, we gotta do it with the old school blues, little bit of Bruno.
What songs shall you people be playing on Fourth of July?
All the way can’t you see.
Oh, the Star-Spangled Banner? It took me a second, I would say, a couple vocal lessons there, you know, but a little pitchy, but I found it.
Keep watching for more!
