A special song of the day at the music court today for today, 14 years ago, my sister was born. Yes, July 15th, 3 days before my birthday which is on the 18th of July. Her day of birth was so special my mother had to cancel my birthday party because she thought she was going to have my sister on the same day. Being an egotistical five year old I was upset. So, in honor of Merry’s birthday you guys are getting some Beatles, and what better Beatles song is there but the opening track of the 3rd side of the LP The White Album. Tradition rock and roll with “Birthday”
“You say it’s your birthday 
Well it’s my birthday too, yeah
You say it’s your birthday
We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s your birthday
Happy birthday to you.”
– “Birthday,” by The Beatles off of “White Album”
The song is not only McCartney’s best vocal performance on the White Album but it is also the only song on the White Album that both McCartney and Lennon share lead vocal duty.
