Lesson VIII: Happy Birthday (to you) by Mildred and Patty Hill


Since it was my birthday yesterday, I'm doing this shit. Now, a lot of people don't even think about this but this song is genius. Simple, memorable, and easy to sing along with. Before this song, people would bring out your cake with all the candles and give three cheers for the birthday boy/girl. You know, hip hip hooray style. That's cool and all but it's not a song.

And yeah by the time you're 16 you want to stab everyone in the eye when you have to sit and sing the dumb ass song. I know. And yeah, that guy who always does harmony at every party is a turd. I know. And of course the live in a zoo rendition pops up and pisses you off and then there's that awkward part where your family says Nicholas but your friends say Nick. I know this. But you know that song by heart. And so does every mother fucker on the planet. People sing that shit in English in Japan. Ballin'

The copyright is still legal on the HB song.

Those lil ol' ladies get a nickel for every time it makes it on tv.
