Birthday songs in Western music (71–80)
The Happy Happy Birthday SongThe Arrogant Worms78rank/position
This is a humor-packed birthday song by The Arrogant Worms, the comedy folk band Canada is proud of.
It hilariously captures the mixed feelings about having a birthday, blending satire and dark humor.
With a light, catchy melody, it conveys irony about getting older and the stiff formality of birthday parties, making it a track that’s sure to make listeners laugh.
Included on their album “C’est Cheese,” released in July 1995, this song has remained a fan favorite and one of the band’s signature pieces.
It’s recommended for anyone looking to bring a fresh twist to a tired birthday party or searching for a song that showcases a sharp sense of humor.
Happy Birthdayein Metal-Ständchen79rank/position
It’s a full-throttle heavy metal birthday song.
The video starts off quietly, but… partway through, a heavy guitar riff kicks in.
And of course, Happy Birthday with death growls! (lol) Surprise someone by playing this track to celebrate their birthday.
(lol)
OlderThey Might Be Giants80rank/position
They Might Be Giants, the U.S.
rock band known as TMBC.
They’re a band with a highly distinctive musical style, and many of their works feature lyrics with a strong comedic tone.
Their performances are also known for being unique—for example, suddenly stopping the music mid-melody, waiting for a moment, and then abruptly continuing.
As a birthday song recommendation from their catalog, “Older” showcases this distinctive side of theirs.
Be sure to check it out.
Birthday Songs in Western Music (1981–1990)
Happy BirthdayDJ Bobo81rank/position
From the very beginning, the rich a cappella harmonies, reminiscent of a chorus, are absolutely beautiful.
The luxurious, sparkling track paired with a groovy bassline is impressive, creating a song that perfectly fits celebratory occasions.
Its upbeat feel and sense of glamour also make it a great choice for BGM during key moments at a birthday party.
B-Day SongMadonna82rank/position
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.
New Happy Birthday SongNOFX83rank/position
A hidden gem for those in the know, the birthday song “New Happy Birthday Song.” Incredibly, the track wraps up in just a little over 40 seconds—short, yes, but a beloved favorite among fans.
It’s crafted with a sound that showcases NOFX’s flair for melodic hardcore.
Happy BirthdayJimi Hendrix84rank/position
Jimi Hendrix, whose many legends are still passed down today.
His “Happy Birthday” is one of the coolest among all birthday songs.
With its memorable, striking bass line, it’s a classic that’s often sampled in hip-hop.
