Everyone knows the simple words and melody to Happy Birthday. But there are a great many other musical methods of conveying sincere natal day wishes. A bounty of them comprise Bear Family Records®' 'Happy Birthday, Baby! - 32 (Un-) Happy Tunes For Your Birthday Party' guaranteed to make any celebration more fun.
Neil Sedaka's Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen is a must, as are Johnny Crawford's Cindy's Birthday and The Tuneweavers' Happy, Happy Birthday Baby--but no more so than the late Jerry Lee Lewis' gloriously salacious Birthday Cake (Keep Your Hands Off Of It) or Lesley Gore's heartbroken It's My Party.
R&B greats Louis Jordan, Sil Austin, and Claudine Clark chime in with rollicking greetings, as do rockabilly warriors Steve Carl, Wanda Jackson, and Glenn Barber.
There's a teen element here too, courtesy of Paul Anka, Kathy Young & The Innocents, and The Pixies Three; pop wailer Johnnie Ray checks in with When's Your Birthday, Baby.
The next time your birthday rolls around, just pop this collection into your CD machine and push 'play'--it's an instant party!
