Happy Birthday, Maura

Happy birthday today to Maura Johnston, editor of Idolator. While I imagine she’s going to find this post embarrassing and dreadful, Maura’s one of my favorite people on earth, and an excellent writer/editor/blogger/whatever as well. In her honor, a stack of Sugababes videos below the cut.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — If only Patty and Mildred Hill could see their simple song today: universally known and translated, a birthday mainstay, a large revenue stream. Quite the legacy for a song dating back to 1893 originally titled 'Good Morning ...

    It’s also Kylie Minogue’s birthday, if you’d like to prepare a video tribute.

    Posting youtube videos beats getting someone an actual gift any day of the week…

    Not to dismiss the other fine writers here, but Maura, you are the biggest reason I’ve read Idolator for so long. Have a great birthday!

    Happy Birthday Maura, my Gemini sister!

    Maura neither asked for this, nor do I post it for any other reason than I happen to be watching it currently, but here is my contribution to the Happy Birthday Maura post:

    Yay for Maura, Queen of the Internets! Happy birthday!!

    (Not to mention, this gift is just what *I* needed today too – Thanks, Dan.)

  15. Chris Molanphy  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    I’m adding Sugababes “Easy” to the mix (my favorite from last year):

    ¡Feliz Cumpleaños to La Jefe!

  16. Lucas Jensen  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    I love you, Maura, but I hope the Mets keep stinking up the joint. I give you two more years of Willie Randolph for you birthday!

  17. Gnosis  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Happy Birthday!!

  18. Chris N.  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Fine, I’ll do it myself.

    Happy birthday, Maura!

    (”Push The Button” is so still one of my jams — even 3 years after the fact!)

  20. Mick Kraut  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Happy birthday! I enjoy your work here and am glad I found this site.

    Like I tell family and friends, it could be worse.

    You could be like me and share a birthday with Whitney Houston…which is also the same day that:

    * US drops A-Bomb on Nagasaki
    * Manson Family murders Sharon Tate
    * Nixon Resigns

    Nothing but calamity on my birthday…

    Again, happy birthday!

  22. Sara Sherr  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Happy Birthday Maura! Thanks for turning me onto the Sugarbabes in the first place (and tons of other great music too).

  23. rogerniner  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Happy Birthday, Maura! Thanks for keeping me tied to this site for over a year now. It’s the first thing and last thing I see as I try to avoid doing any real work.

  24. CloudCarrier  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Big ups, my fearless American Idol girlfriend! You make it all look so easy.

  25. NeverEnough  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Happy birthday, my fellow Duranie! Watch how I can make this all come full circle: who was the former guitarist for the Sugarbabes? Dom Brown. Who is he playing for now? The mighty Duran (who I saw last night and again last week). Yay!

  26. Tenno  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Happy Birthday Maura! Most Awesome Person!

    I bring you catchy viral videos with cute animals!

  27. Tenno  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Oh I screwed up. Happy Birthday Maura!

    I can only hope this makes you smile as much as you normally do. You rock!

  28. Tenno  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Oh and yeah, it’s old, but the music is awesome.

  29. Tenno  |   Posted on May 28th, 2008

    Pine*Am is awesome too!
