Oh wow, that's the second imaginary birthday this week -- first Kyle, and now Mary.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

I'd have to say my favorite birthday song is "(Today is) Blackie's Birthday" by Urge Overkill from The Supersonic Storybook, to add to the list.

"Happy Birthday to Me" by Bright Eyes, hello!!!

There's a Cracker song called "Happy Birthday To Me". Is that the same as the Bright Eyes one?

I can also think of the '60s girl group The Cookies called "I Want A Boyfriend For My Birthday" (The Smiths used to cover it in their early days), "Sixteen Candles" by The Crests (the one that starts out "Happy Birthday/Happy Birthday baby"), and a very silly one by NOFX called "New Birthday Song"

Ah Yes! Happy Belated Birthday to Kyle as well!

Thanks Erik.....as soon as I saw your UO reference the lightbulb went on. I'm sorry I missed that the first time.

"Birthday" by The Invisible Cities, just love that song. probably my favorite the invisible cities track :)
Happy Happy Birthday to You

this may be sacrilege, but does anyone else wish that 'birthday' by the beatles could be deleted from history?

@cosby -- YESSSSSSSS.

I'll just nominate the entire catalog of Birthday Party songs, though none I can think of specifically references birthdays.

On a creepy note, what is the Stones song written for some girl MJ wanted to hook up with to celebrate her 18th birthday and her being legal to do so? "Let's Spend the Night Together?" Anyone? And wasn't this the daughter of some other famous musician?

"The Happy Birthday Song" by Andrew Bird... and although I'm sure it doesn't count, "Birthday Deathday" by Dethklok \m/

Clem Snide- Happy Birthday; and these are a little more punk than indie but still really awesome- The Vandals- Happy Birthday to Me and the Groovie Ghoulies- Happy Birthday Song.

The Happy Birthday Song, by Andrew Bird.

the best birthday song still has got to be birthday by the beatles

*Cough* That list sucks. #1 should be "Birthday" by The Beatles. I don't even know how you didn't come up with up that.

a few years ago I heard a happy birthday song--that was sung to a beatles tune...can't remember the name of the tune.It was quit funny all about getting old.
Anyone have a copy?

Good list. I love that Altered Images is #1. Still I do think that the Beatles "Bitrhday" needs to be in the top 10.

Birthday by the beatles should be in the 1st place or at least in the top 5

The Birthday Song by the Dik Van Dykes Just two of many good lines: 'So I hear it's your birthday, who gives a sh*t? Do you feel older? You certainly look it.' 'When you were born, the doctor slapped your mother. On the day you were born, they invented the Pill.' Classic!
