Link (More funny remixes here) (via WFMU's Beware of the Blog) UPDATE: Jon Wiley points out that this song is part of an entire album called The Party Party.

A birthday request. If you want to wish me a happy birthday, first, let me say, thank you, mazel tov, a blessing back at ya, namaste and let's have fun. I have one request, which I get to make because it'll be my birthday tomorrow, and I'm getting in practice for one day of pure selfishness. Instead of sending an email, if you have a blog, how about posting your wishes on your blog with a link to mine? I could always use some more flow, and I'd love to climb a few notches on the Technorati list, truth be told. ";->" [Scripting News] Happy b-day, Dave. 8:24:12 PM    comment []
