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.

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.

Nobody knows how many languages it has been translated into - except to say it is an awful lot. I guess it was written by a script writer so doesn't really qualify as a genuine birthday song but we used to sing it, and even tho' we've forgotten the name of the film it was in or how it turned out in the end, my sisters and I remember it. 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.

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! An instant success, the song soon spread beyond the confines of the school. Its very simplicity and directness appealed to people of all ages.
