Man the people who said this song could be about pedophilia are freaking ridiculous. I never even thought that once about it until I read that shit on here...
It sounds like a perfect description of a little girl growing up and spending time either with her father or her grandfather. I mean when we're babies our first friends are our parents after all. She's growing up and discovering the world outside her house where she's been all her life. Catching bugs, painting and having fun by pretending to smoke cigars.
I love that scream/wail/growl she does. This song always makes me so happy whenever I hear it. Probably my favorite song ever.
According to Björk, "Birthday" is a "tasteless pop song" about a five-year-old girl who has a love affair with the man next door, who is celebrating his fiftieth birthday
