Take a guess: Most popular July 4th songs by state
'Born in the USA' boss of July 4th songs
A woeful tale about a Vietnam vet disguised as a rousing anthem is the favorite Fourth of July song for most of the USA.
But in a handful of states, residents prefer a country tune about driving around (with the windows down, natch). And Nevadans, a unique lot, get their independence on to the strains of We Are Young by pop group Fun.
That's what the Spotify music streaming service learned in analyzing Fourth of July playlists across the country.
According to data released Thursday, Bruce Springsteen's 1984 hit Born in the USA is the top July 4 song In 42 states and the District of Columbia.
