Memorial Day is a fun day to celebrate history and have fun at the same time. A great way to celebrate Memorial Day is to sit back relax, cook out, socialize with loved ones and crank out some great tunes. If you search online it’s very hard to find a perfect Memorial Day playlist.
You really have to choose songs that fit the description of Memorial Day the best you can. What can I play for my guests to be entertained at all times? Don’t forget: While you are choosing your songs, make sure you pick out some great Memorial Day foods, such as fried chicken, potato salad, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, red-white-and-blue desserts and special drinks for Memorial Day. Here are my choices for Memorial Day songs.
Will Smith- His song “Summertime” is always a fun favorite at many barbecues. It’s a fun song to just sit back and relax to while chillin with some great foods and company.
Sly and the Family Stone- “Hot Fun in the Summertime” Is a great song for all ages. It gives you the feeling of being at a beach having fun with all your friends and family in the hot sun.
Sister Sledge- The smash hit “We Are Family” says it all. There’s nothing like being surrounded by all your loved ones reminiscing on the good times.
Here comes the rest of my choices, but beware because this is going to be one heck of a Memorial Day song list with various artists.
