34 Times Beyoncé Just Shut. It. DOWN.

And on the fourth day of September in 1981, God made Beyoncé. And it was a good day.

For some reason we can't quite comprehend, Queen Bey's birthday isn't a national holiday. The singer turns 34 tomorrow, which seems as good an excuse as any to take the day off, crank up "Drunk in Love," and bust out your best "Single Ladies" choreography. Surely your boss will understand.

No? Phooey. You'll just have to settle for sneaking off during your lunch break and paying tribute to Sasha Fierce through these delicious GIFs and video clips.
