Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on May 22, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Bernie Taupin! You've penned lyrics that made crocodiles rock, tiny dancers twirl, and rockets soar. Without your poetic genius, Elton might still be wondering if Saturday night's alright for laundry instead of fighting.

From "Your Song" to "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," your timeless words have shaped generations. Recently celebrating the success of the biopic "Rocketman," it's clear your lyrical magic remains as vibrant as ever. May this birthday bring you more inspiration—and fewer candles than hits you've written—because honestly, that's a fire hazard at this point! Keep rocking those rhymes; we're still standing because of you!
