We should replace it with Stevie Wonders Haaaapy birthay to tooo ya.

The current one is a tedious nursery rhyme.

Yeah, I hate that song. I don't like hearing it sung all out of tune, I don't like singing it either. Sometimes I don't sing it, but I get some disapproving looks.

I think that Sir Wonders version is a cheerful alternative the the miserable one we are stuck with.

Oh.. don't get me wrong sir... a song has to be sung.

Restaurant birthday meals are the epitome of all that's wrong with the birthday celebration.
No one else cares it's your birthday. Just keep it quiet FFS.

Kids love it, and on their birthdays, it's they who are important. If you're still singing it to adults, it's not the song that's the problem...
