A birthday song written about your dad
Birthday gifts for dad run out around the third tie. He doesn't want more stuff. He wants to know you noticed. The early shifts and the plumber joke at every dinner. The way he still checks your tire pressure. A birthday song for your dad puts that into a song he can play in the truck, probably with the windows up.

What to put in a birthday song for your dad
Every service asks for the story differently. Whatever form you get, these are the details that make it sound like them and not like a greeting card.
He mows the lawn in straight stripes and stands at the window admiring them after.
He taught me to drive stick in a church parking lot and only yelled once.
He's told the same joke about the plumber at every holiday dinner since I was six.
He worked double shifts for years so I could go to the camp he never got to attend.
He checks my tire pressure every time I visit, even though I'm thirty-four.
You were at every game, even the ones I lost, and I remember all of them.
When to order a birthday song
Write down his habits and the stories he tells too often. Ask your siblings for theirs.
Pick a service from the picks above and send the story, with the music he plays in the garage.
Listen through and check names and years. Ask for a change, if the service offers one, where a line sounds like someone else's father.
Play it after dinner with everyone there, or in the car with only the two of you if he gets shy.
Questions
Will my dad like a song, or is it too sentimental?
Most likely he'll love it, and show about half of that. Lead with the funny stuff, like the lawn stripes and the joke he's told forty times. Then end on one true line. He'll laugh through the first half and go quiet in the second. That's the reaction you want.
What birthday wishes for dad work in a song?
Specific ones. Instead of a plain “happy birthday,” say what you actually hope for him. More fishing weekends. Knees that hold up for the grandkids. Wishes that come from his real life sound like you and not like a card, and that's why you're giving a song in the first place.
Is a birthday song for my dad right if he hates fuss?
Yes, because it asks nothing of him. No party, no speech, no unwrapping in front of people. Send it to his phone in the morning or play it in the car. A dad who hates fuss can play a song alone in the garage as often as he likes, and he will.
Should my siblings be part of it?
If you can manage it, yes. Each kid remembers a different dad. One got the driving lessons, another got the bedtime stories. Collect a story from each and send them together. The song ends up sounding like the whole family, which is a lot harder for him to shrug off.
Find the one that sounds like them.
Pick a service and jot down three of the details above. That's enough to start.
