Soul Rebel Gets Growner! Jeremih, Cee-Lo and Stevie Wonder Top The List of Birthday Songs
Posted on May 6, 2009 9:50 AM
I can't seem to escape new Def Jam signee Jeremih's hot new single "Birthday Sex" -- largely because my birthday is today -- and this seems to have replaced 50 Cent's "In The Club" as "the urban birthday anthem"...
I wasn't crazy about the song off the bat but it has started to grow on me and I really like this acoustic version that Def Jam sent over recently. Check it out:
When it comes to favorite birthday songs though I like to keep it a little less sexual and more on the celebratory side. Check out some of the songs I'm happy to hear on my special day and make sure to tell me yours.
#5 Stevie Wonder "Happy Birthday"
You gotta love Stevie Wonder's timeless tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I actually prefer folks to sing this version to me than the traditional "Happy Birthday" song.
#4 Outkast "13th Floor (Growing Old)"
One of my favorite Outkast songs -- and '96 was a very special year for me!
#3 Mary J. Blige "Family Affair"
No hateration on my birthday please!!!
#2 Roy Ayers "Everybody Loves The Sunshine
It's one of my favorite songs period but I thought it was fitting for this list since it's all about the celebration of life!
#1 Cee Lo Green "Gettin Grown"
Well that's my birthday playlist, what's on yours?

Man I'm really diggin this dude I went to myspace page and he has another hot song also. I wonder how Neyo feels about him.
When I first heard this song, I was thinking is this fool really serious. Like someone said it seem like R&b singers are more about sex, clubbing, and all that stuff. It seem like the love message in songs is just gone.
Co-Sign NNL.....That song is lame...Can't even bring myself to listen to the whole song.
