Today's song is...
Older
The birthday song for the 21st century. The concept behind this song is ridiculously simple and yet still really clever. Leave it to TMBG to remind us that we are getting older every second, even while listening to a song about getting older every second. And usually getting pummeled with confetti. I personally prefer the Long Tall Weekend version of the song to the Mink Car version because it is more reminiscent of the way they play it live. And I always enjoy watching them play it live with their guitars propped up in the air and the mallets whamming on the drum. To this day the most epic performance I've seen remains the January of '09 Lupos show largely due to almost supernatural hang time of the confetti. There are so many good videos of this song too, so convenient for Facebook birthday posts. Take your pick!

Ooh! I prefer the Long Tall Weekend version too. The Mink Car one irks me. Also, yes, very good birthday song. Very truthful.
