[Song Request] Birthday Metal (or metal adjacent) Songs

Songs that sing about genuine wishes of a happy birthday to somemany.

Not ironic like dunno Goregrind which is the first thing we thought about.

There are about 288 for searching "birth*day" on metal archives, and the first one is "Birthday Whore" so 😂😭 this is gonna take some time.

Dethklok's song was already suggested and it's the most obvious one and I'm pretty sure most metal heads would appreciate it. Straight up positivity isn't too common in metal outside of power metal. Even there it's either silly stuff or just more like anthems and shit. Not much about well wishes.

Closest thing to what you want that I can think of is Helloween's march of time. Sings about time passing and it has a positive message. I think it fits.

Something less obvious would be Mastodon's once more round the sun

Some other decent options that you can look into (or just make a playlist)

Serious black - older and wiser

Faith no More - the gentle art of making enemies

Gama bomb - 666teen

Andrew WK - party hard

We did think that "happy stuff" is power metal territory. Thanks for the suggestions!
