The baby among us is turning the big 2-5 today. I thought I'd record a little rap in honor of the occasion. At the retreat this week, Miriam was anointed with the name "THE business" because of her amazing financial and organizational prowess (she's been leading us all out of the unorganized darkness with her love of lists, transparency, calculations, and knowledge). So here you go Miriam, for better or worse:
The full (yes, I admit it, amazing) lyrics after the jump. Beat is by RJD2.

I demand one for my birthday. DEMAND.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is amazing. Of *course* you thought to rhyme "moola" and "doula."
Happy Birthday, Miriam!
Courtney you are amazing. I just laughed so hard I cried.
Best birthday rap ever! Moola doula is my new favorite phrase.
Thanks for all the love ladies :)
this is an AMAZING rap. We will make sure to teach it to all b-day festivity participants so we can have a rousing chorus for "the business."
Oh Alex, good call. I'll print lyric sheets. Study up!
ROFL. LMAO. I am dying over here. Clearly some bonding time happened this weekend. As I pointed out yesterday, you guys are like campers the day after summer camp -- you have all these cute inside jokes and all you can talk about is how much you like each other.
So true tpaperny. Thanks for all the love people. It was a pride swallowing endeavor to be sure.
Happy B-Day Miriam, from everybody at Advocates for Youth!
oh.em.gee. Cannot wait for the group sing-along. "Moola Doula" = genius.
you've got some mad skills, courtney! moola doula was fab. Happy birthday, Miriam!
Happy birthday! You share it with my husband AND my daughter.
That was fantastic! All people, everywhere should have someone make them a b'day rap. It should be a rule.
Happy birthday Miriam!
BTW, I'm SOOOOOO glad you guys are back to posting regularly! My feedreader and online life were rather dull while you were away. :)
Happy Birthday Miriam. I am so glad you joined Feministing!
