Happy Birthday to Me

Cracker is an American alternative rock band fronted by Camper Van Beethoven singer David Lowery, with guitarist Johnny Hickman. They are best known for their hit songs "Low" and "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)".

The band's website once noted Cracker as "The only band to ever open for both Grateful Dead and Ramones," a unique distinction which is also indicative of the band's sound and style. Cracker comfortably mixes influences and sounds ranging from classic country music, psychedelia, punk and folk into their brand of "Americana" style rock.

Lyrics:
I was having a good sleep in my car
In the parking lot of the Showboat Casino-Hotel
I say "I remember you, you drive like a P.T.A. mother
You brought me draft beer in a plastic cup"

I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today

Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you

I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today

I remember you, I crashed your wedding
With some orange crepe paper and some Halloween candy
Uh, sometimes I wish I were Catholic (I don't know why)
I guess I'm happy to see your face at a time like this

Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy birthday baby to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me

Sorry it's been a few days since my last post. I've been busy drinking margaritas in the hot tub at a swanky hotel, eating filet mignon, throwing money away at the casino, and seeing some live music. All that, and I somehow managed to avoid getting arrested or going to the hospital this year (a new experience for me). Thank you AR for taking such good care of me all weekend!
