A quick search and you will discover that 334 different songs mention The Fourth of July. Leave it to the mad songwriting genius of Bernie Taupin to lyrically lament today's date with a little help from Elton John.

In this killer trio medley of songs, July 13th actually hits on a Wednesday. I always thought this was extra weird because the album "Rock Of The Westies" was released in late 1975 and the closest Wednesday, July 13th wouldn't occur until July of 1977.

From a Monday point of view, this song is perfect because wouldn't we all like to "Yell Help!" and just get through the 'Ugly'est day of the week.
