Trevor Noah recently celebrated his 37th birthday. The South African-born comedian was born on 20 February, 1984.
The Daily Show took to Twitter on 21 February to wish the host of the show a happy day. The show posted a clip of the superstar roasting the traditional birthday song. The Daily Show captioned the post:
"Happy Birthday @trevornoah, who would like you to take a moment to consider the happy birthday song."
In the clip, Trevor revealed that he never grew up singing the traditional birthday song.

The TV personality said Disney made their own version of the song in the 80s to celebrate Donald's birthday.
Trevor expressed that the traditional birthday song is like a "death song". He said the song is depressing and is one of the saddest songs he has ever heard.
"It doesn't seem like fun at all."
Tweeps have shared their thoughts on Trevor roasting the traditional birthday song. Check out some of their comments below:
@gianmaster191 said:
"I agree with you that the birthday song is pathetic. For years we sang this song from Snow White, which was cut from the movie. 'You're Never to Old to Be Young'. It always turned into a dance and sing-along."

@technogodis added:
"I LOVE the Disney birthday song! I play it for my students on their birthdays! They hate it (but they're in middle school, and middle schoolers hate everything! LOL), but it's so much happier than the traditional song. You've made my day! Happy, happy birthday to you Trevor!"
