...whose birthday will begin in less than two hours, I give you:
1) The "Happy Birthday" song. I will confess, I don't much care for this tune. In fact, I don't like it. It's always seemed odd to me that it's copyrighted - who would want to copyright such a bland tune? I think the tune for "Annie's Song" is much better.
And I do hope that the lyrics aren't copyrighted. Can you imagine that scene at the copyright office?
Copyright Person: You wrote this?
Sad writer: Yes. It was all I could come up with.
Copyright person: ....*pause*....*crickets chirping in the distance* Well, I do like how you added the "Dear Susan" part. But does this song only apply to people named Susan?
Sad, yet opportunistic writer: I'm going to copyright each name.
Copyright person: (to himself) I knew I should have gone into Security Architecture...
ANYWAY-
However you sing or say it, I wish you a very, merry, tastefully tuneful birthday!!
Thank you, Meri! You made me laugh! =)
