Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on November 28, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Randy Newman! Your music has scored more home runs than "The Natural," awakened our hearts better than Robin Williams in "Awakenings," and jazzed up history smoother than a ragtime piano. Honestly, your melodies stick around longer in our heads than popcorn kernels stuck between teeth at the movies.

From baseball fields to vintage leather helmets ("Leatherheads"), you've composed soundtracks that make us laugh, cry—and occasionally hum embarrassingly loud on public transport. Here's wishing you another year of timeless tunes and witty lyrics—because let's face it: nobody does quirky charm quite like you do. Keep scoring big!
