Happy birthday to David Bowie, a connoisseur of loud time. His liner notes to The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars are punctuated by the phrase: "To be played at maximum volume." I've been doing that recently for the first time, but only because my computer's speakers stink.
Anway, all together now:
"Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear David,
Happy birthday to you."
