Comment:

Every person on the planet has one — every day, everywhere in the world, it's somebody's birthday. If that's not a good enough reason for a playlist packed with party-tune birthday songs, we don't know what is, and so we bring you our special set of sonic celebration, from Marilyn Monroe's breathy ooze of an ode to the Commander in Chief "Happy Birthday Mr. President," to the Specials' ska-tastic party in a song "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)." Whether you're simply searching for a tune to back to your little one's cake-candle blowout, or you're on the lookout for the one-stop soundtrack to — ahem — your sixth-annual 30th-birthday wing ding, we've got you covered with the bright-eyed new wave of "Happy Birthday" from Altered Images, and the eternal youth of Frank Sinatra and "Young at Heart." And, hey, many happy returns.
