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:

Happy Birthday To You' was also, in fact, the first song to be sung in space (by a human, at least). 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. 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.

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. Here are a few more verses from the Birthday Dirge. You sing the Happy Birthday (unh) chorus after every two lines: 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. I was looking for a video of the Waldorf "We Wish You a Happy Birthday" round, but came up with this instead: We pottered around other sections of the zoo, ensuring that Kit did get to see some pigs (as he was very clear that he would have rather gone to a farmyard on the way to the zoo). A lot of the animals weren't out, but you could see them in their inside enclosures (there were even hippos in a hot-tub!). Honestly, if we went again I would be tempted to do the winter season again because of the price-drop and it was quiet so there wasn't really the worry about fighting to see the animals or queueing.
