Check out the complete lineup below, as posted by CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" and "Born on the Bayou" are also in the game.Īretha Franklin's "Respect," "Help Me Rhonda" by The Beach Boys, and "Ring of Fire" from Johnny Cash are also featured in the game. The band Creedence Clearwater Revival has a number of songs in the game, including "Proud Mary" and "Fortunate Son."
