If you haven’t got your 4th of July on yet, there’s still time. Celebrations will continue into the weekend. Here are five bangers about the great U.S.A.

This Is America (Childish Gambino)

Not only is this a banging track, but the music video is also fantastic too. This is Childish Gambino at his finest.

America (Simon and Garfunkal)

At the start of Almost Famous, Zoe Deschanel chooses to explain the reason she wants to leave her small town and explore America using this track from Simon and Garfunkel. We understand completely.

Surfin’ In The U.S.A (The Beach Boys)

This is one for those hot American summers. If California could sing, this is what we reckon it would sound like.

Young Americans (David Bowie)

David Bowie’s take on American youth culture was a hit on all sides of the pond.

America (Neil Diamond)

Not only is Neil Diamond OK with getting his patriot on, he also celebrates immigration and multiculturalism. We dig.
