I guess it was written by a script writer so doesn't really qualify as a genuine birthday song but we used to sing it, and even tho' we've forgotten the name of the film it was in or how it turned out in the end, my sisters and I remember it.

When I was at school there was probably not much more exciting than going to the zoo, I used to really look forward to trips to Drusillas and to Marwell Zoo. I followed the stereotype of an animal-obsessed girl, including a line in pets (I'm not very good at keeping hamsters or goldfish alive, don't ask me to pet-sit), horse-riding lessons (I became a master in falling off - in fact so much so they used me to help break-in the newly broken-in horses to riding in a school!), membership to the RSPCA and a large Sylvanian Family collection. Well Kit's not been to a proper zoo yet, and London has one, so to celebrate my turn of the decades wedragged Nanny and Grandadthere!

I heard "Happy Crappy Birthday," sung to me and Alan MacColl at song circle today (Sunday) to celebrate our August birthdays on dates that will not be revealed. I went looking for the song when I got home, and found Amos had posted a link to a YouTube video in an Art Thieme birthday thread in July. The singer in the link from Amos is Sharon Carl, who sang the song for Alan and me today. In 2010, the Western classical music conductor Zubin Mehta conducted the orchestra to play variations of "Happy Birthday" in the styles of various Western classical music composers including Wagner, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, and in the Viennese, New Orleans and Hungarian composition styles. [62] [63] See also A group I sing with used to do a medley of B-day songs including the regular "Happy Birthday" song, the morbid one about people dying (see above), and the following: While retaining the melody Patty one day changed the lyrics, replacing them with the now well-known words of 'Happy Birthday To You'. They were to be sung on the birthday of every pupil.

Patty was convinced that for a school to be truly successful, it had to be a cheerful place. Only a joyful and relaxed atmosphere could bring our the best from teachers and pupils. Most of all, Patty believed in teaching by song. A couple of weeks ago I was continuing my usual post-Paris-moan about not being able to find great bread in LA when Ludo handed me a book about bread baking – Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish. I love a challenge and so jumped straight in, carefully following the recipes and making batch after batch of delicious crunchy fresh bread.An instant success, the song soon spread beyond the confines of the school. Its very simplicity and directness appealed to people of all ages. To take the time to bake someone a cake is perhaps the ultimate birthday gift – Nigel Slater chose this as his number 1 comfort food when I asked him – it takes time and effort and thought to mix up ingredients, bake and then decorate.

The only difference in the melodies of 'Good Morning to All' and 'Happy Birthday to You' is the Good in the first line is split to form Hap-py. Because the melody of 'Good Morning to All' is public domain, it should be legal to use for any reason - as long as the 'Happy Birthday' lyrics are not used. This has never been tested, and I can find no relevant legal precedents. Interestingly, it should also be possible to put any lyrics of your own devising to the same tune - including lyrics which split the first note over two syllables. If only someone had told Bernstein that. They have a MUCH better song in Sweden (which I'm afraid I can't quote). It ends with wishing that the person will live for a hundred years. Though I suppose that might be a problem if someone is already celebrating their 100th or later birthday ... Joyeux anniversaire (and here the squeeze the name of the birthday person in - and guess what the last line is? No, really...) It is traditional, among English-speakers, that at a birthday party, the song "Happy Birthday to You" be sung to the birthday person by the other guests celebrating the birthday, often when presented with a birthday cake. After the song is sung, party guests sometimes add wishes like "and many more!" expressing the hope that the birthday person will enjoy a long life. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, immediately after "Happy Birthday" has been sung, it is traditional for one of the guests to lead with " Hip hip ..." and then for all of the other guests to join in and say "... hooray!" [21] This cheer normally is given three times in a row.

Get someone from the Netherlands to sing you the traditional Dutch birthday song.
