One of the main staples of any July 4th barbeque is the burger. That greasy rounded goodness. However you choose to eat it is up to you and we’ve seen countless takes on it that continually leave us salivating.

It’s a food item that’s been paid tribute to in numerous forms. Music is no exception here as countless artists have paid tribute to beef patty. As your grill is heating up, make sure your stereo is too. Here are the 7 best songs about burgers to celebrate July 4th.

Frank Zappa - Cruisin’ For Burgers

The song features only a few lyrics, but there’s something incredibly freeing about the image of cruising for burgers. If the song sounded like it belongs in a film soundtrack, that’s because it was supposed to. Uncle Meat, the album on which this song appears, was a soundtrack album to a proposed sci-fi film that ultimately was never finished.

Todd Rundgren - Boogies (Hamburger Hell)

In a bizarro world that only Todd Rundgren could pull off, the song is told from the perspective of a burger as it goes from the slaughterhouse to the grill. Weird, but it works.

Charley Pride - Burgers and Fries

While Pride sings about burgers, it’s done so as a metaphor for the simpler times in life harkening back to the early days of romance.

ZZ Top - Burger Man

First things first, this music video may be one of the weirdest and most wonderful you’ll ever see. It’s a truly bizarre ode to the burger that you’ll want playing at your bbq this weekend.

Fat Boys - Burger Pattern

This song will tickle all your nostalgia senses as The Fat Boys appeared on the PBS show Square One Television back in the day to rap about their love of… Burgers. It’s incredible and is topped off by a sax solo in the middle of the song.

Bob’s Burgers - I Want Some Burgers And Fries

Bob’s Burgers has had plenty of incredible songs featured on the show. Shockingly, there’s only been a few about burgers. This one gets straight to the point.

Jimmy Buffett - Cheeseburger In Paradise

The G.O.A.T. song about burgers. Could it really be anything else? Well, we try to make a good argument in this list, but this Jimmy Buffett signature song exalts everything we love about the burger.
