Happy Hump Day and Happy 4th of July! From now until July 11th, I’m taking over for Don Durito, spinning tunes and serving drinks for everyone’s entertainment.
As I wrote in the final comment to Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 71, “expect songs about the 4th of July.” I begin with Chicago – Saturday in the Park (lyrics) HD.
“Saturday in the Park” is a classic song written by Robert Lamm and recorded by the group Chicago for their 1972 album Chicago V. “Saturday in the Park” was very successful upon release, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band’s highest-charting single to date, helping lift the album to #1. – Wikipedia
Moving forward to the 1980s, I present John Mellencamp – R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. (A Salute To 60’s Rock) to continue the patriotic pop music.

Since Mellencamp referenced the 1960s, I’ll conclude the music portion of the diary by traveling back to that decade with Surfin’ U.S.A. by The Beach Boys.

Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.
For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:
Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
With those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
