['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-04-26

Let’s all enjoy Another Saturday Night of melodious music, magical memories and much, much more as we kick off another evening of music.

Tonight’s feature presentation is dedicated to this evening’s start of Derby Week in Louisville and the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby on May 3rd.

The mint julep has been a tradition at the Derby since 1939, and the race is known as "The Run for the Roses" as the winning horse is draped in a blanket of roses.

Now, on to the mane main event!

Songs with horses (foal, yearling, filly, colt, mare, stallion, gelding), horse racing, mint juleps and roses in the title may be posted as well as songs about those topics.

Booker T and the MG's - The Horse

Linda Ronstadt - Love Is A Rose

Gentle reminder: Please continue to put the name of your selection in your comment along with your song. Those of us on our phones appreciate it, and people using screen readers need this to identify the video.

You know how this works — Put your coins in the slot and your song in the comments. This is your Saturday night jukebox and the party starts NOW!

Have a mint julep … or two (or even more!)
