MUSIC NERDIST: Best Birfffday Songs, according to me (the guy that’s always right.)

Jonah_unicorn_sm
My birthday is coming up this weekend. I’ll be turning an age that’s
closer to the signifying number of years you live before you have to
realize yer not a kid anymore. Seeing as how I now cower at the idea of
having any kind of party to “celebrate” my slow death. I have the
feeling that I’ll just want to spend it the way I spent ALL of my
formative birthdays, alone and disappointed whilst listening to MUSIC
in my room. So here is a list of some of my favorite BIRTHDAY SONGS:

#5: The original happy birthday song by the HILL sisters in the
late 1800’s. It’s totally overused and not cool at all. EPIC FAIL HILL
SISTERS.
#4: Happy Birthday by CLEM SNIDE. So soothing and happy
sounding, you’ll forget that yer decaying body is starting to hurt this
year more than last year.
#3: You say its your birthday! by THE BEATLES.  Not their best work
(obviously, a**hole) but mentioned because of it’s association with the
movie 16 candles (the scene with Ted in the car).
#2:
Lisa It’s your birthday, Happy birthday Lisa: by MICHAEL JACKSON (leon
kompowski)…that song will get stuck in your head as easily as gum in
Lisa’s Hair. (reference!)
#1: HAPPY BIRTHDAY by WEIRD AL YANKOVIC: I used to play it loudly for
each of my family members on their birthdays. Because i loved it and
they thought it was irritating…EFF THEM. It’s one of the punkiest
songs Al ever did. and it was on his ST release. And yes, I still like him.

alrighty, happy birthday to me.

    My personal favorite birthday song would have to be “Birthday Dethday” by Dethklok.
    Brutal.

    Fuckin a! I have Weird Al’s first album on cassette. It’s STILL a great listen.

    My birthday dedication to you is the poppy new-wave hit, Happy Birthday, by Altered Images. It smells of cotton candy and has all the lasting influence of dandelion fluff.

  7. Dwight says:

    It’s my birthday this weekend, too! A happy birthday to the both of us!

    I have to agree with your number 2 — that song great, but it drills into your head like the Cerebral Bore from Turok 2.
