Joyeux anniversaire (and here the squeeze the name of the birthday person in - and guess what the last line is? No, really...) Kit was getting frustrated that the tigers weren't responding when he kept saying 'hello' and despite his attempt at 'grrawh'-ing at them (after a suggestion that they might not understand non-tiger language). He turned to get his tiger mask, in what I guess was a last ditch attempt to get the tigers to talk to him, but as he walked away to the buggy so did the tigers so we'll never know if the mask could have got him accepted!

On March 8, 1969, the astronauts on Apollo IX sang it to celebrate the birthday of Christopher Kraft, at that time director of NASA space operations. stow lot, stow lot nieg gee ah-gee ah-nahm, stow lot stow lot nieg gee ah-gee ah-nam, yeshtadahs, yeshtadahs, nieg gee ah-gee ah-nahm, nieeeeeg geeee enaaaahm! The song was written by Patty Smith Hill, a kindergarten teacher, and her sister, Mildred Jane Hill, who was a musician. They began writing songs for kids in 1889 and later published them in a collection in 1893 called Song Stories for Children. But the “Happy Birthday” song didn’t start with that title or the lyrics as we know them today. The tune was called “Good Morning to All” and was accompanied by the “Happy Birthday” music.

About 50 years ago we saw a movie with Farley Granger playing a spoilt rich boy/criminal who was being transported across country and he convinced his guards to stop off at his mother's house (mansion really) so he could sing a special birthday song to her. It was a ploy to try to escape (and I don't remember if it worked) but she was having a big party and Farley Granger did sing to her and the song has stayed in our memory banks ever since. It's sung to Twinkle twinkle with a slight modification at the end: I remembered when I was in Elementary a birthday song sung by our English teacher... I can't remember the whole lyrics but it goes something like this... Farivar, Cyrus (June 18, 2016). "Lawyers who yanked 'Happy Birthday' into public domain now sue over 'This Land' ". Ars Technica .

You all know how much this girl loves her bubbles – so unless you know your recipient is a signed up member of AA or like my friend Lisa doesn’t like Champagne (she does like rosé though) – a bottle of the good stuff is always an excellent present. Thank you Anneli for this golden box of bubbles – this is what Olivia de Havilland drinks every night at 6pm – so I’m following suit – perhaps the secret to her 96+ years and still going strong? I loath, despise and detest the usual "Happy birthday to you". Hearing it only once in one's life would be boring enough, because it drags a few words out into a whole stanza by excessive repetition, over a turgid tune. But one hears it very often, which makes it even more boring. For my own 60th birthday party I gave notice that I would leave instantly if that song were sung. My friends respected my wish.

Here's a song from the music-hall era, sung by a woman who was a famous male impersonator of her day. There's an article about her here (in addition to Wikipedia).Kimelman, Michael (March 28, 2017).

After an off-key "Happy Birthday" (and the annoying modern-Greenwich additional verses "Are you one? Are you two?") 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. Who doesn’t love flowers? But rather than send someone cut flowers it’s so much better and no more expensive to send or give an orchid or two. Not only are these flowers classic, stylish and oh so chic, but they don’t go bad, as in they don’t die days after the celebration is over. Weeks and even months or years later these plants keep on going. I have taken to putting the old orchids outside and waiting for a couple of months for them to re-flower. Thank you to the lovely ladies who drove over from the West side to celebrate with me last night and brought with them these beauties.
MISSED SOMETHING?
In the wake of their success, the lawyers involved in the "Happy Birthday" lawsuit filed similar lawsuits regarding " We Shall Overcome" [55] and " This Land Is Your Land". [56] Public performances
