Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, is many things to many people. It marks the beginning of summer, the end of the school year, family trips and gatherings, the Indy 500 and of course it pays tribute to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Using any of those topics as parameters, let’s celebrate the Memorial Day Weekend in music, song, and dance.

:eleph: The Ground Rules :eleph:

- Label all videos, don't just throw out a link.

- Any music genre is acceptable.

- Don't knock somebody else's music, your taste may be crap also.

- Label your videos as PG or PG-13 as required.

- Add lyrics or screen shots as you see fit.

- Drink responsibly, use a glass.

Somehow one of my favorite Beatles songs "In My Life" seems appropriate for Memorial Day.

Thanks to our vets one and all. This goes out especially those who had their blood shed in service to their nation.

Memorial Day Weekend is when us Upper Midwestern folk crawl out of our bunkers and shield our little mole eyes from the blazing sun as we finally put our shorts on over our pink legs and incinerate a grill full of brats as tribute to the Sun Gods.

Right now I have a pork roast and buffalo wings in the smoker grill and am hoisting a red, white and blue special edition Miller High Life.

Here's a very strong tune with great vocals that celebrates those who go before us,


Five Finger Death Punch - "Bad Company"

--- I'll drink to that Red Baron! I have been enjoying a Heineken today myself. What time is dinner? Pork roast and wings sounds yummy with some cold brews!

I remember the Memorial Day ritual in the midwest when I lived in Michigan. One year, my company picnic on Memorial Day (which was supposed to feature softball and volleyball), was instead celebrated in a freezing park picnic area as we huddled around the grill in our parkas! -- it was 38 degrees with a 20 mph steady north wind that afternoon.

Well, here is one I heard maybe twice back in the early 80's when MTV was new and real.

Good fun song to get you going:

The boys of summer.

Little video put to the Don Henley song, Boys of summer.

That's one of my favorite summer songs.

Here's a great up tempo surf punk version by the Ataris.

Mosh pit and everything!

Remember Why
Blades of Grass and Pure White Stones

Blades of grass and pure white stones​

Shelter those who've come and gone​

Just below the emerald sod​

Are the boy's who've reached the arms of god.​

Buried here in dignity​

Endless rows for all to see​

Freedom's seeds in sorrow sown​

These blades of grass and pure white stones.​


Blades of grass and pure white stones​

cover those who left their homes​

to rest in fields here side by side​

lest we forget their sacrifice.​

Buried here in dignity​

Endless rows for all to see​

Freedoms seeds in sorrow sown​

These blades of grass and pure white stones​

Just below the emerald sod​

Are boys who've reached the arms of God​

Buried here in dignity​

Endless rows for all to see​

Freedom's seeds in sorrow sown​

These blades of grass and pure white stones​


Blades of grass and pure white stones​

cover those who've left their homes​

Freedom's seeds in sorrow sown​

These blades of grass and pure white stones.​

Just below the emerald sod​

Are the boys who've reached the arms of God.​

Buried here in dignity​

Endless rows for all to see.​

Freedom's seeds in sorrow sown.​

These blades of grass and pure white stones.​
