Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on December 09, 1944)

Happy Birthday to the brilliantly cheerful Neil Innes—the creative genius behind Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's hilariously absurd tunes. From performing surreal classics like “I'm the Urban Spaceman” to your note-perfect Beatles parody in The Rutles, you’ve gifted us decades of unforgettable laughter and musical madness.

Your extraordinary collaborations with Monty Python—marked by wit, whimsy, and wonderfully offbeat songs—ensured comedy history would never quite make sense again (thank goodness). May your birthday celebration have more surreal moments than a Python sketch and fewer lawsuits than a Rutles reunion. Cheers to a timeless legend whose humor continues to inspire!
