I posted this video in another birthday thread, then realized it belonged here.
The vocal performance in this song is a metaphor for all birthday celebrations. When she sticks to the script (basic melody/verse/chorus), everything is fine.
Loose and funny in fact. Nothing to be worried about at all...
And then when she tries to "cut loose" - at 1:04 and 1:46 to be exact - everything goes to hell.
People are cringing and furniture is getting broken. Time to wipe up the blood and call the cops. Or at least a vocal coach. Singing can be a brutal endeavor.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Happy fucking birthday everyone !
