Yom Huledet (Happy Birthday)

"Yom Huledet (Happy Birthday)" (Hebrew script: יום הולדת) was the Israeli entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999, performed in Hebrew and English by Eden. The song is an up-tempo number, heralding the increasingly dance-oriented outlook of the Contest, with the band singing about the simple joy of having a birthday and celebrating it with a party. Significantly, the somewhat American sound of the song was provided in part by two of the vocalists (Eddie Butler and Gabriel Butler) being black Israelis, the first black participants on the Eurovision stage for Israel.
