"Birthday" is a song written and recorded by Icelandic band the Sugarcubes. It was released as a single in 1987, and included in their 1988 debut album Life's Too Good. It was their first international single and the first single released from the album. The Icelandic version, "Ammæli", was released on the Iceland-only single "Einn Moli' Á Mann (One Cube Per Head)" the previous year and was included as the B-side on the international single.

After "Birthday" became the single of the week in Melody Maker magazine and NME in August 1987, and was selected as number one in John Peel's Festive Fifty list, the band attained worldwide recognition and success. In the United Kingdom, the song was the group's first chart entry at number 65 and also reached number two on the country's indie charts. "Birthday" was ranked at number 15 on The Village Voice{{'}}s "Pazz & Jop" critics' annual year-end poll to find the best music of 1988.[1] The Sugarcubes performed the song, along with "Motorcrash" on Saturday Night Live during the October 15, 1988 episode, which was hosted by Matthew Broderick.
