Tweaks to song content[edit]

I've edited the article to reflect that the woman in the song is only claiming that it's her birthday. She also tries telling the bouncer that she has friends in side, that it's too cold outside, and that she's "not wearing trainers, not to mention knickers", all lines that people have tried on bouncers in the past in order to get inside a club. This doesn't mean that any of the claims are true, which might be the case with this song, so I've altered the phrasing "birthday girl", which gave off the impression that this is a definite.
