Birthday Song (The Beatles) - Barbershop Quartet

--- CREDITS ► Music & lyrics by Lennon–McCartney ► Arranged by Bob Greenberg & Julien Neel ► Performed & edited by Julien Neel --- ABOUT THE SONG “Birthday“ is a song written by Lennon-McCartney and performed by the Beatles on their double album The Beatles (commonly known as The White Album). It is the opening track on the third side of the LP (or the second disc in CD versions of the record). The song is an example of the Beatles’ return to more traditional rock and roll form, although their music had increased in complexity and it had developed more of its own characteristic style by this point. The song was largely written during a recording session at Abbey Road Studios on 18 September 1968 by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. McCartney: “We thought, ’Why not make something up?’ So we got a riff going and arranged it around this riff. So that is 50-50 John and me, made up on the spot and recorded all in the same evening.
