B-Day SongMadonna55rank/position

B-Day Song

This is a bonus track included on Madonna’s 2012 album MDNA.

It’s a happy birthday song that I can recommend to anyone who wants to celebrate.

The phrase “I’m a happy girl” is especially memorable! It’s an incredibly cheerful song, but the collaboration with M.I.A.

was quite unexpected.

That’s because she rarely sings straightforward songs and has more of a mysterious image as an artist.

Happy Birthday And Thanks For The MemoriesMarilyn Monroe56rank/position
