Get someone from the Netherlands to sing you the traditional Dutch birthday song. It's a gas, and would lend itself very well to the sort of harmony singing you get in the traditional clubs or the Christmas carol sings in Yorkshire.
Lost it since then, but somebody could write another. (To write a round, you leave out the fourth and seventh notes of the scale.) The original "Happy Birthday" is getting well worn. Ever struggled with what to give someone for a birthday present? Well struggle no more. Having just received some of the best and most inspired birthday presents ever I thought I’d share a few ideas. 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. 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...
The Beatles recorded "Happy Birthday Dear Saturday Club" for the BBC's radio programme's fifth anniversary. This recording is included on the compilation album On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, released in 2013. [59] Aaron Sorkin's new series, The Newsroom, is bloody brilliant. Seeing how you chomped your way through The West Wing (don't think I've stopped being jealous of the signed script you got given), and then gorged on Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, complaining about its brief one-series deal, you'd have been all over this. The new one is deeply flawed, but has flashes of absolute brilliance. a b " 'Happy Birthday' and the Money It Makes". The New York Times. December 26, 1989 . Retrieved March 7, 2013.
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 have unleashed a new passion/obsession/fetish – for the perfect crust and crumb. Well, as every chef knows – your bread is only as good as the bread knife you use to cut it – or something like that! To round out the gift I was given a beautiful Global bread knife – and most important to remember – I gave Krissy and Ludo a penny – don’t want to cut the relationship and superstitious as I am I’ll not risk this one! So if you give a knife, have them give you a penny! 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. When my husband turned forty, I wrote a real beauty. I believe it w2as a round with a bass ground. it was for the church choir to sing,and they did it up brown. 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).When I was at school there was probably not much more exciting than going to the zoo, I used to really look forward to trips to Drusillas and to Marwell Zoo. I followed the stereotype of an animal-obsessed girl, including a line in pets (I'm not very good at keeping hamsters or goldfish alive, don't ask me to pet-sit), horse-riding lessons (I became a master in falling off - in fact so much so they used me to help break-in the newly broken-in horses to riding in a school!), membership to the RSPCA and a large Sylvanian Family collection. Well Kit's not been to a proper zoo yet, and London has one, so to celebrate my turn of the decades wedragged Nanny and Grandadthere! 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.

Lunden, Joan (March 10, 2020). Why Did I Come into This Room?: A Candid Conversation about Aging. Simon and Schuster. p.25. ISBN 978-1-948677-29-5. A couple of weeks ago I was continuing my usual post-Paris-moan about not being able to find great bread in LA when Ludo handed me a book about bread baking – Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish. I love a challenge and so jumped straight in, carefully following the recipes and making batch after batch of delicious crunchy fresh bread. A little soft candle light – for that post dinner romantic glow? A heavenly scent to fill the room. I love to light a candle and snuggle up with a great book so a great gift would be to pair a Persephone book with a scented candle – you could even get crazy and try to match the title with the scent. A scented candle is a small luxury that you probably wouldn’t buy yourself but would love to get. My current favorite scent is Jo Malone’s English Pear and Fresia or that tried and tested old classic Orange Blossom (matches my cologne). 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
