OOH AAH (Insert own music here_________)

The ROUTE 1 staff is a little tardy getting to the FRIDAY QUESTION answers this morning.
That's because we were up late watching the annual FIREWORKS display.
The explosions of color were great, but do we really need to hear "America (a.k.a. They're Coming to America)" and Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" every year?
Let's check in with the readers as they answer the following query:
"What music would you play to accompany fireworks?"
BEKAH P. -- Beethoven's "Ode to Joy." I know, geeky, right?
KERSTIN H. -- A song from dance recital, "All Around the World."
RICK T. -- "America," sung by Waylon Jennings.
MIKE M. -- Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" on tuba.
BRIAN C. -- When the fireworks are bursting, you just can't beat "Stars and Stripes Forever," by John Philip Sousa.
MIKE D. -- Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture," à la the "Caddyshack" finale.
ERIK H. -- It starts off slow, then it really roars -- just like a good fireworks display. "One Armed Scissor" by At The Drive-In. Of course, I would probably be moshing, so I might miss some of the chrysanthemums and willows.
