    It is word play, but based on the backwards American date, so it
    doesn't work anywhere else in the world that uses correct dates. Same
    with the silly "Pi Day" and the other wordplays based on dates.

    Americans can't even keep it consistent themselves ... they insist on
    using backwards dates everywhere, but then make a movie with a correct
    date called "Born on the Fourth of July" based on a biography book of
    the same name. :-\

    In America, for some stupid reason, that particular day (being
    Independence Day) is usually phrased using the correct date format,
    rather than their own backwards format. I just heard Katie Perry's
    "Firework" song on the radio, which also includes the lyric "the fourth
    of July".
