--- ABOUT THE SONG
"Birthday" is a song written by Lennon-McCartney and performed by the Beatles on their double album The Beatles (commonly known as The White Album). It is the opening track on the third side of the LP (or the second disc in CD versions of the record). The song is an example of the Beatles' return to more traditional rock and roll form, although their music had increased in complexity and it had developed more of its own characteristic style by this point.
The song was largely written during a recording session at Abbey Road Studios on 18 September 1968 by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. McCartney: "We thought, 'Why not make something up?' So we got a riff going and arranged it around this riff. So that is 50-50 John and me, made up on the spot and recorded all in the same evening.
John Lennon said in his Playboy interview in 1980: "'Birthday' was written in the studio. Just made up on the spot. I think Paul wanted to write a song like 'Happy Birthday Baby' [sic], the old fifties hit. But it was sort of made up in the studio. It was a piece of garbage."
--- LYRICS
They say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you
Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party
I would like you to dance (Birthday)
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance (Birthday)
I would like you to dance (Birthday)

What a treat to enjoy on my 70th birthday (December 2022)...you rock, Julien! I currently sing alto in SATB choruses. For years, as a Sweet Adeline, I sang tenor, then baritone, then bass. I have enough choral singing experience to appreciate your miraculous range and vocal production. Thanks for this fun video!

I have never heard a really good a cappella version of Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys. And, if there is one man out there with a good enough voice to pull that off, it's you Mr. Neel. That would make my day. :)

My high school had a system when if it was your birthday and you swiped a card to sign in, this song would play.
