this song by Brick + Mortar has been living rent free in my head for a month now

Macklemore has an absolute bop that’s only gotten more relevant over time

Jesse Welles is killing it.

https://youtu.be/8E9l_i6HPYM his most popular tune I think

Bread & Puppet has this bop. I heard it covered at No Kings over the weekend. A group got on the mic and taught it to the crowd, and much joy was had.

Um... Streets of Minnesota anyone? I am ot a huge fan of Springsteen, with this song he lived up to his nickname.
