What does Kitty have to say?





Best birthday song ever?

What's the best birthday song of all time?

The traditional "Happy Birthday To You" has universal appeal. But it's a bit underdeveloped, with only one verse.


The Beatles "Birthday" is a fun song to dance to, and "Happy Birthday To Me" by Cracker is a good '90s addition to the birthday song category.

But the song I'm picking doesn't even mention birthdays, but expresses a joyous sentiment, "I Feel Young Today."  This Peter Himmelman song from the '80s (I think) has some great lyrics that lift my spirits even as I add another digit to the milestone number of last year.

Plus, it's fun to check out the youthful appearance of Peter and his band as well as the shots of Minneapolis.

Hope you enjoy the video and feel younger today than yesterday!
