Hello Hello to all you music lovers out there.

So yesterday was Independence day for some young country and I thought that for #ttt I would pick some songs with an American twist.

I stuffed myself full of hot dogs yesterday and so this might end up a bit of an eclectic mix!

So here is my post for #threetunetuesday the awesome weekly tune share initiative started and led by the magical Irishman ablaze@ablaze . Check out his post for this week, which is WEEK 58 aready! Sigur Rós for Three Tune Tuesday Week 58

If you wish to participate then I defer to the simple jist on how to do it from ablaze@ablaze ...

The jist is as follows

Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #ttt or #threetunetuesday tags that would be great. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

If you are in a hurry and just want to listen to one tune and want a laugh then I urge you to listen and watch tune 3🤣

So let's get this turntable up and running, well spinning at least!

This first tune is a great song and for everyone who commits plagiarism on Hive, then the story around this song is something they need to wary of!

tune 1 the Beach Boys ~ Surfin' U.S.A.

"Surfin' U.S.A." is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys, credited to Chuck Berry and Brian Wilson. It is a rewritten version of Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" set to new lyrics penned by Wilson and an uncredited Mike Love.

This wikipedia source gives a little bit but the next part is so significant!

Wilson said he intended the song as a tribute to the rock guitarist, but Berry's lawyers used another term: plagiarism.” The case was settled with the Beach Boys giving publishing rights to Berry's publisher.20 Mar 2017

Plagiarism ~ It is NOT big and It is NOT clever and can end up costing you a whole heap of cash ~ So just don't do it!

Rant over and enjoy the tune ....


For tune 2 we are heading back across the pond to Scotland. This band were due to perform at a local festival in my town last month, but the promoters went bankrupt and left many people out of pocket.

Skids are from Fife in Scotland and the band was the forerunner to the band Big Country.

tune 2 Skids ~ Working For The Yankee Dollar

tune 3 Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA

Nah that would be far too obvious and you know I love an earworm coquicoin@coquicoin
So this one is funny and watch the video for a laugh🤣 and is a song from the movie of the same name!

tune 3 Cheech and Chong ~ Born in East L.A.

Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.

I hope you enjoyed these tunes, and time for me now to check some more awesome #ttt posts out!

Have a brilliant rest of your week people, until next Tuesday🎶🎵🎶
