Hi, everyone!

This week brings another holiday many will be celebrating…

Of course, the history is complicated, and while we don’t have time to delve into all the nuances, we will address some of them, and I hope this jam session can also lift your mood if you’re feeling down right now.

So let’s start the countdown and set off a whole display of…

… “Fantastic Fourth of July Follies (2025)”!

This week, we’re jammin’ to a tunes about celebrating in general, some historical harmonies, and some tangentially-related refrains that are just as fun!

The tunes we’ll be jammin’ to this week come courtesy of artists such as “Weird Al” Yankovic, The Muppets, Doris Day, Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Looney Tunes, and more! Certain selections come from films such as Pee-wee’s Big Holiday (2016), Calamity Jane (1953), and Pocahontas (1995), and TV shows such as Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Schoolhouse Rock!, Animaniacs, and Galavant! Check out the categories and tags below for more clues!

I hope you consider jammin’ with us this Saturday at 7 am ET/6 am CT on 89.3 WNUR FM! If you like what you hear, let me know: I record every show and will happily send it to you! For more information about Jammin’ with Jamie, go here!

Thank you for reading, listening, and “jammin’,”
Jamie Lee
