There is also a small 17-space parking lot in Louisville just southwest of Main and Ninth streets named the Happy Birthday Parking Lot in honour of the Hill sisters. 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. And of course we sing the birthday dirge. In our family, we sang it this past spring for my 92 year old father, who conducted us all, and grinned when the folks in their retirement home looked horrified. 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).
The Beatles recorded "Happy Birthday Dear Saturday Club" for the BBC's radio programme's fifth anniversary.

Its very simplicity and directness appealed to people of all ages.Kit was getting frustrated that the tigers weren't responding when he kept saying 'hello' and despite his attempt at 'grrawh'-ing at them (after a suggestion that they might not understand non-tiger language). He turned to get his tiger mask, in what I guess was a last ditch attempt to get the tigers to talk to him, but as he walked away to the buggy so did the tigers so we'll never know if the mask could have got him accepted!
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.

It is traditional, among English-speakers, that at a birthday party, the song "Happy Birthday to You" be sung to the birthday person by the other guests celebrating the birthday, often when presented with a birthday cake. After the song is sung, party guests sometimes add wishes like "and many more!" expressing the hope that the birthday person will enjoy a long life. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, immediately after "Happy Birthday" has been sung, it is traditional for one of the guests to lead with " Hip hip ..." and then for all of the other guests to join in and say "... hooray!"

The song was written by Patty Smith Hill, a kindergarten teacher, and her sister, Mildred Jane Hill, who was a musician. They began writing songs for kids in 1889 and later published them in a collection in 1893 called Song Stories for Children. But the “Happy Birthday” song didn’t start with that title or the lyrics as we know them today. The tune was called “Good Morning to All” and was accompanied by the “Happy Birthday” music. To take the time to bake someone a cake is perhaps the ultimate birthday gift – Nigel Slater chose this as his number 1 comfort food when I asked him – it takes time and effort and thought to mix up ingredients, bake and then decorate.

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. Here are a few more verses from the Birthday Dirge. You sing the Happy Birthday (unh) chorus after every two lines: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.
