Here in the U.S. we’ll be celebrating our independence on Wednesday, July 4^th, with pool parties and heaps of vacuum-sealed, processed foods. Because nothing says freedom like hot dogs and the ability to seamlessly play your favorite tunes across any device – PCs, tablets, mobile phones and more.

Have you decided what your Independence Day soundtrack will be? Will it include some Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas or Toby Keith? Not to worry because MyMusicCloud has compiled a head-boppin’ list of songs about fireworks, patriotism, and summer fun for your holiday. Mix them together on your kitchen tablet and then stream them to your laptop or listen on any other device outside for an upbeat backyard BBQ mix. You can also use our cloud-based music delivery service to upload and compile your own 4^th of July party playlist. Our continuous queue even lets you stop and start it across different devices.

Kick off your bash with summer anthems like Kid Rock’s thumping remix of “Sweet Home Alabama” called “All Summer Long,” or Faith Hill’s joyful ode to convertibles and good times, “Sunshine and Summertime.”

Then show your love for the heroes of the heartland with Toby Keith’s “Made in America” and salute the country where “we all get a chance, everybody gets to dance — Only in America” by superstars Brooks & Dunn. Love classic rock? Blue-jean rebel Bruce Springsteen reminds you what it’s like to be “Born in the U.S.A.” while Neil Young urges you to “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World.”

If you can’t resist a pop dance tune, we’ve got Miley Cyrus, the Black Eyed Peas and Katy Perry’s “Firework” to bring your friends to their feet. We’re global too, so even if you’re reading this in Tuscany, Berlin or somewhere else abroad, you can still celebrate the 4^th of July on all your devices.

Does this sound like you? You’re blissfully singing along to a favorite song when the staring, pointing and laughing starts. What?! No way! My friends can’t be laughing at ME, can they? Everyone knows She was a fax machine, she kept her modem clean are the lyrics to AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long,” right?

Mmmm, not so much. But you’re not alone! Misunderstanding popular song lyrics happens to the best of us. Some of the most famous mangled verses are Jimi Hendrix’s Excuse me, while I kiss this guy, (actually: “’Scuse me while I kiss the sky”) and Nirvana’s Here we are now – in containers (in fact: “Here we are now, entertain us”) from “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

Below, we’ve asked friends, family and trolled the Internet to find the funniest misheard lyrics.  Because MyMusicCloud is staging a bad music lyric intervention. With our amazing cloud-based music delivery service, you’ll never belt out a bogus chorus again. (No more, Get back, hump a cat! Elton John fans.) Just hit the Lyrics button on our site and it fetches the correct words (Get back, Honky Cat) for you instantly.

So unless you just like to irritate your friends by shouting the wrong lyrics (and who doesn’t, really???), please stop reading now. Because if not, you might actually want to Shake it like a polarbear ninja, shake it, aha, shake it (With apologies to Outkast’s “Hey Ya”).

Is there a certain someone you’ve been taking for granted lately? Maybe he’s the guy who gently but insistently bugs you to check your car’s motor oil level.  Or makes you grilled cheese sandwiches when you’re sick. Or taught your kids how to hold a baseball bat.

We’re talking about dads, of course. Cool or square, thin or pot-bellied, wisecracking or stoic, beer-chugging or bottled-water loving, dads rarely get the thanks they deserve. Since this Sunday, June 17, is Father’s Day, we dug up the 10 coolest, funniest, and most heart-tugging songs about the “Old Man” we could think of. Download them to your MyMusicCloud  library and make a custom Father’s Day playlist for his tablet, PC, or mobile phone, or search our music store (more than 11 million songs) to select your own choices.

Among our picks are hits from Eric Clapton, Cat Stevens, Will Smith, Bruce Springsteen, and a host of country artists. If you were ever a teenage girl, you’ll relate to “Cleaning This Gun,” Rodney Atkins’ humorous riff about an overprotective dad and his daughter.  In it, Rodney shares the speech he uses to scare his daughter’s amorous dates: “I’ll see when you get back, probably be up all night, still cleaning this gun.”

Lonestar pays tribute to stay-at-home pops in the hilarious yarn, “Mr. Mom,” about a newly unemployed husband who takes on his toddlers and discovers he’s in over his head when “There’s bubble gum in the baby’s hair, sweet potatoes in my lazy chair” and more homegrown disasters.

Late R&B superstar Luther Vandross yearns to see his sire once more in “Dance with My Father,” and so does Paul Carrack of Mike & the Mechanics in the ‘80s tearjerker “The Living Years.” While Harry Chapin laments not spending more time with his son in the classic cautionary tale: “Cat’s in the Cradle.”

On a happier note, Will Smith recorded “Just the Two of Us” for his son Trey, who also costars in the music video with comic Damon Wayans, Magic Johnson and more stars and their kids.

Enjoy these top 10 Songs About Dads list, share them on Facebook, and sync them across your friends’ devices with our worldwide cloud-based music delivery service. Happy Father’s Day from the staff at MyMusicCloud.

Bruce Springsteen’s huge album release may be behind us, but there’s plenty of major new music still to come. We’re counting down 2012’s Biggest Summer Albums. Whether you’re searching for that perfect pop beach mix or just looking for a sweet new ringtone for your cellphone, our cloud-based music delivery service can satisfy all your music needs.

Tops on our list is the super-catchy pop candy of Maroon 5, whose “Overexposed” album drops in late June. Pop fans are also in luck with the debuts of Usher’s “Looking 4 Myself” and new songs from his self-styled junior crooner, Justin Bieber. Can’t decide which ones to buy? Visit the MyMusicCloud store to preview tracks from all three and then download your faves and mix them together for the ultimate portable summer playlist. Sync them across your Mac, PC, tablet or cellphone to play on- or off-line wherever you go.

If rock and skinny jeans are more your style, The Hives return in early June with their first album in five years, “Lex Hives,” and so do dreamy synth rockers Passion Pit, known for their hits “The Reeling” and “Little Secrets.” If you’re like us and have trouble deciphering either of these band’s lyrics, just click the handy “Lyrics” button in our browser and instantly see exactly what lead singer Pelle Almvqist is singing.

Isn’t it ironic? With Garbage’s new album just out, nostalgia for the ‘90s is in full effect this summer. Collections from angsty chick rockers Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple and moody grungers The Smashing Pumpkins are all on tap.  Throw on some flannel and alert your Facebook friends that the ‘90s are back with our convenient “Share” button, which broadcasts what you’re listening to to all your pals.
