the fucking stupid "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG" why do we sing it? are we insane?

Are you Larry David?

It's sung like a funeral dirge.

Happy, Happy Birthday is much more fun.

it's just the way things are

It is the most sung song in the world.

It was written by Mozart! It's a masterpiece.

Who are you to criticize Mozart?

i want to go back in time and kill the person who first sang it and end that tradition right then and there.

What are you the birthday police? who cares that's just the way it is. If you don't like then sing a another version.

"It is the most sung song in the world."

s club 7 went platinum, doesn't mean they're good.

Didja know it's copyrighted? Didja know that evertime it's used in a movie or tv show, someone is collecting royalties?

"What are you the birthday police?"

yes i am, the birthday song police.

and this song has the right to remain silent, forever.

how OLD are you NOW? HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW?!! HOW OLD ARE YOU NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ?????HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????? are you deaf???

"If you don't like then sing a another version."

why do we have to sing any birthday song?

here's an idea.

lets not sing any stupid birthday song!

hell lets take it a step further, let's cancel even saying 'happy birthday' period. why do we even celebrate birthdays? why do we even keep tract of our 'age'. it's stupid.

tptb loving this circus though.

happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you

you lost your rhythm a bit there on the third verse.

go on, hands up who ACTUALLY sung it!!

yeah, i was a little flat as well.

Remember; we suppose always having fun in this domain of evil realms...

The song in question is used more often than not as it is simple, easy to remember, has a hook and there is comfort for many in things that we are familiar with.

That being said, I hope your next birthday is a good one and you remember how special you really are~~~

Just imagine how it is for people who have no family and never have anyone to sing this to them. Lots of us have not had birthdays for many years. Just be glad you do.

I call it justifiable homicide and a boon to all mankind.

Bad tune, repetitive non-rhyming lines...plus it is senseless and demeaning. Consider this example:

Old man James Smith is having his 90th birthday, and the crowd gathered around the table begins singing. When they get to the part which says “happy birthday, dear…” a handful will say grandpa, a few others will sing daddy; a couple of non-family members will say James or Mr. Smith; and they will all utter this cacophony of discordant off-pitched sounds at approximately the same time!!!

You have a noble mission sir.
Just make sure the man is dead!!!

Mozart was a freemason........

"Happy Birthday to You", also known more simply as "Happy Birthday", is a song that is traditionally sung to celebrate the anniversary of a person's birth. According to the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records, "Happy Birthday to You" is the most recognized song in the English language, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow". The song's base lyrics have been translated into at least 18 languages.The melody of "Happy Birthday to You" comes from the song "Good Morning to All", which was written and composed by American siblings Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill in 1893. Patty was a kindergarten principal in Louisville, Kentucky, developing various teaching methods at what is now the Little Loomhouse; Mildred was a pianist and composer.The sisters created "Good Morning to All" as a song that would be easy to be sung by young children.
