Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on November 07, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Neil Hannon! Your music has aged far better than most wines—or my jokes. From writing lyrical masterpieces like "Something for the Weekend" and crafting timeless hits with The Divine Comedy, you've ensured that fans everywhere still wander humming catchy tunes in supermarkets, embarrassing their companions—but we love you anyway!

And let's not forget your recent brilliance—taking on stage productions and delighting us anew while proving age is just a whimsical concept invented to fool lesser mortals. May this birthday be filled with as much wit, charm, and joyful eccentricity as every masterpiece you've gifted the world!
