The birthday cake is symbolic of one’s birthday suit. And “surprise party” is akin to “surprise, genitalia”. The metaphor works. I’d explain it more, but it would be to no avail.

I love stuff like that. I’ve got demo tapes and 7" records from local punk bands from the 90s. Some were kids from my school or kids I used to skateboard with.

A lot of it is just rubbish, but it means something to me. I’ll put a few songs on every couple of years, laugh at the hand-drawn artwork, reminisce, and sing along.

Pretty sure there’s very few, if any, other copies of some of that stuff around anymore.
