Happy Birthday, Psycho. 🙂

Hey Ayla! Nah, I know there's some other classic rockers out there besides us!
Psycho, back in the sixties there lived the most incredible band (in my opinion) to ever walk the face of the earth. They called themselves "The Beatles." Their 1968 double album had a blank white cover, both front and back. The only writing on it was simply the words THE BEATLES in raised white print. In short, this album had no name. It was completely generic. So everybody refers to it as The White Album. It has thirty songs in all, one of which is a Paul McCartney tune called Birthday, in which the lyrics go...
You say it's your birthday
Well it's my birthday too, yeah!
You say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time!
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy Birthday too ya!
There's more but that's the gist of it. Paul McCartney is generally remembered for the most part for his many sappy love ballads, which I totally dig. But this song as well as Helter Skelter, Junior's Farm, and a few others remind us that Paul McCartney can rock out with the best of them!
