The first, a piece that is very dear to our hearts. This is a tune that we can often hear in the Thicket Dweller's household, being sung loudly, and oh-so-wrong. Now WHO would DO such a thing? ::shrugs::****************************
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled sawdust in your hair of...um...brown
And flecks of gold in your eyes of...what are they...hazel? Or somethin'?
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around. (Okay. All the girl CATS. Thanks for feeding them. Without you, they'd be...well, they'd be dead.)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled sawdust in your hair
And golden highlights in your eyes of...kinda greenish...I think. What color are they again?
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around. (Well, I do, anyway. And your three daughters.)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.
::cue the dramatic, arms-flailing ending::
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhhhahahaha, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.

Okay, enough with the sappy stuff. Now on to the REAL dirt. A sentimental selection by The Arrogant Worms...
**********************************
Once a year we celebrate
With stupid hats and plastic plates
The fact that you were able to make
Another trip around the sun
And the whole clan gathers round
And gifts and laughter do abound
And we let out a joyful sound
And sing that stupid song
Happy birthday!
Now you're one year older!
Happy birthday!
Your life still isn't over!
Happy birthday!
You did not accomplish much
But you didn't die this year
I guess that's good enough
So let's drink to your fading health
And hope you don't remind yourself
The chance of finding fame and wealth
Decrease with every year
Does it feel like you're doing laps
And eating food and taking naps
And hoping that someday perhaps
Your life will hold some cheer
Happy birthday!
What have you done that matters?
Happy birthday!
You're starting to get fatter
Happy birthday!
It's downhill from now on
Try not to remind yourself
Your best years are all gone
If cryogenics were all free
Then you could live like Walt Disney
And live for all eternity
Inside a block of ice
But instead your time is set
This is the only life you get
And though it hasn't ended yet
Sometimes you wish it might
Happy birthday!
You wish you had more money
Happy birthday!
Your life's so sad it's funny
Happy birthday!
How much more can you take?
But your friends are hungry
So just cut the stupid cake
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, dear Bohemian...

You are the love of my life. Thanks for putting up with me. Now thank me for putting up with you.
