Welcome to another Saturday night of music, memories, and conversations. Last week we observed American Memorial Day with songs about soldiers and the losses of war. This week, we transition from death in war to birth in stateside peacetime.

On this day in 1970, a baby boy (ME!) was born in Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. I share my exact birthday with soccer star Alexi Lalas and musician Alison Hinds, and a random assortment of other musicians such as Pat Boone, Ron Wood, Alanis Morissette, and Brandi Carlile....so let's do birthday songs or songs by musicians born on the same day as you!

Skating Polly shows that everyone can be demanding on their special day... Skating Polly - “Baby on My Birthday” —

Change the specific references (they stopped making Cycle 4 dog food a long time ago), and all the bad things in the world still exist, but celebrate your birthday anyway! Weird Al Yankovic - “Happy Birthday” —

I like to think I have a good sense of humor (or humour, as they spell it in Canada, where this musician was born exactly 4 years after me). – Alanis Morissette - “My Humps” —

I never heard of her before looking for songs for this post, but I discovered soca music and the Queen of Soca, Alison Hinds, born on the same day as me! Alison Hinds — “Born Wit It” —

Post your favorite birthday songs, or songs by musicians who share your birthday!

Gentle reminder: Those on phones really appreciate it if you put the name of your selection in your comment along with your song; and people using screen readers need this in order to identify the video as well.

You know how this works — Put your quarter in the slot and your song in the comments. This is your Saturday night jukebox and the party starts NOW~!
