Cibo Matto - Birthday Cake is always a good place to start. I don't really know many other Cibo Matto songs and every time I listen to "Birthday Cake" I wonder if it's for my own safety.
Jens Lekman - Happy Birthday, Dear Friend Lisa - The steel drums are pretty much the most birthday sounding thing in this song. Or maybe they are just birthday chords being played on the steel drums? The same way we've kind of accepted certain Christmas chords, certain Christmas instruments, et cetera. Jens Lekman's voice is coincidentally that of Jesus Christ, if Jesus Christ were from Sweden and was Jens Lekman.
Ween - Birthday Boy - Jesus Christ, Gene Ween says. "Paiiin." Obviously Gene Ween holds some deep personal connective tissue to our two-time coming lord and savior, Jesus Christ. He feels what Jesus goes through.
Speaking of Jesus:
I'll stand
With arms high and hope abandoned
With love
For the one who gave it all.
It's the season for givin' and this is about Jesus, so this is obviously a Christmas song.
Going to talk about something else, now.
The year is ending, and Christmas is almost over. Tiny Mix Tapes has the best list of the top 25 album covers from this year and there are so many good ones I didn't know about on there.
Things are just weird feeling today.
