You belong in a zoo
You look like a monkey
And you smell like one too!

Wtf are you talking about? There's only one birthday song.
The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.
Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”
Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”
Except it is not copyrighted anynore
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You
The music and lyrics are in the public domain in the European Union and the United States. The copyright expired in the European Union on January 1, 2017. A U.S. federal court ruled in 2016 that Warner and Chappell's copyright claim was invalid and there was no other claim to copyright.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
There's only one brithday song and it goes like this: Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard, ok, can we just, uh, stop? Ok, cool.
There's also "This is your birthday song. It isn't very long. Hey!"
There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.
“haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”
I know two. One in my native tongue, and one in english.
I know 4. Two in my native tongue, one in Danish, and one in English.
I know three in English so there must be more in other languages
There’s also the “It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday!” chant that people do. Not The Birthday Song, but a birthday song.
Edit: after researching it, I guess it’s 50 Cent, I’d always heard it, but never knew the source:
Are you sure?
Yes.
What day is today?
It's Nibbler's birthday!
What a day for a birthday!
Let's all have some cake!
And you smell like one too!!
I know 3, in different languages.
You're the birthday
You're the birthday
You're the birthday
Boy or girl!
You're not alone. This was also my number two.
I can do 4. Do I win something?
Just in case:
Happy Birthday (obviously) Birthday (The Beatles) Feliz, feliz en tu día (Los payasos de la tele) Las Mañanitas (traditional Mexican song)
I know at least 4. This post is ridiculous
*If you are a monolinguist native English speaker.
Sin and sorrow from the air People dying everywhere Happy birthday Happy birthday
Ahh. The birthday dirge. Classy.
Happy Birthday to you//Happy Birthday to you//Happy Birthday dear \ //Happy Birthday to you!
Lisa, it's your birthday//Happy birthday, Lisa//Lisa, it's your birthday//Happy birthday, Lisa.
This tracks.
For anybody who would like to have a 3rd song, this one is the best of them all.
Happy birthday, Dick!

A birthday means you're one year closer to your death. The music that should be played is "The Last Post".
