about

Formidable Vegetable thought it was time for a new birthday song that celebrated not just the person who’s birthday it is, but also the whole living world that helped them grow up to be an amazing, miraculous part of it. So that’s what they did.

A New Orleans-style street party jam dedicated to anyone who’s just turned another year older.

lyrics

Happy happy happy happy birthday
The trees and the bees and birds say
We’re so happy that you’re on the Earth, yay!
Happy happy happy happy birthday

Happy happy happy happy birthday
You’ve got it going on for what it’s worth, hey!
Grown another flower in your bouquet
Happy happy happy happy birthday

Happy happy happy happy birthday
Another year, you’ve really come a long way
Everyone together now we all say
Happy happy happy happy birthday!

omg, this is awesome! i have been a huge tipper fan a long time, albums like broken soul jamboree & forward escape are rare electronic masterpieces. i have listen to this more than 100 times and i can detect always more layers...so ful of details in the background...a class of it's own, music and production are not from this world! dub orange

Wedding modern electronic beats to 1930's musical styles like jazz and big band, this Belgian band put a unique spin on nostalgic escapism. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2022
