Birthday boys sing for the birthday girl

Annika turned 8 today and we marked the occasion with a Hogstrom tradition: The Beatles' "Birthday" blaring out of speakers.
Then, after breakfast, we turned to YouTube for some additional birthday fun related to Jan. 8. As Annika knows, it is a day that helped shape popular music for generations.
Me: "You share your birthday with a couple of famous rock stars."
Annika: "Yeah, David Bowie and Elvis Presley."
We celebrated Annika's rare birthday coincidence by watching the great 1956 clip of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show, famously introducing "Hound Dog" with:
"Friends, like the great philosopher once said..."
Then we watched a pair of clips of David Bowie during two career highlights -- the "Let's Dance" video from 1982, set in dusty Australia and the performance of "Changes" from the "Ziggy Stardust" film of the final Spiders from Mars gig in July 1973. The latter clip, in particular, shows that Bowie was one of rock's ultimate showmen, a trait he shares with Elvis.
It was a rockin' start to Annika's birthday, a day that will include Hello Kitty treats for her classmates and presents tonight.
