Donno what on earth inspired me to do this one, but this is “Unhappy Birthday” by the Smiths (from their final studio album Strangeways, Here We Come). Enjoy the super exciting guitar string break at the end! Hopefully Pablo (seen, out cold as always, just to the left of the guitar) didn’t hear the “kill my dog” line, and if he did, hope he knows it’s just a snarky song!

Here are the words if you want to sing along … my favorite line is “drink, drink, drink and be ill tonight!”

I’ve come to wish you an unhappy birthday
‘Cause you’re evil and you lie and if you should die
I may feel slightly sad (but I won’t …cry)

Loved and lost and some may say
When usually it’s nothing surely you’re happy it should be this way?
I say “No, I’m gonna kill my dog”
And “May the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy and deep tonight”

I’ve come to wish you an unhappy birthday
‘Cause you’re evil and you lie
And if you should die I may feel slightly sad (But I won’t cry)

Loved and lost and some may say
When usually it’s nothing surely you’re happy
It should be this way?
I said “No” and then I shot myself
So, drink, drink, drink
And be ill tonight
