I don't think it's at all meant to be taken for anything other than a dorky, fun little song. People put a whole lot of energy into hating what seems like essentially an in-studio joke. I don't think her intention was to hold it up to "Like a Prayer" and say "Listen to my new masterwork!"
true, she doesn't have to be serious all the time and that's why I instantly fell in love with Bitch I'm Madonna, Unapologetic Bitch, Holy Water... etc
but B-Day Song sounds like a big greasy fart to me. the lyrics and the melody are annoying as fuck and uninspired like never. I regret she included it on the final tracklist (even tho it was a "deluxe" track).
funny how everyone's taste and appreciation are different tho!
