![]() If you are sitting over near the emergency exit, you won't be noticed as much. While your kids are going up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down the same dadgum slide, you and your playgroup friends sit your hind ends down RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COKE MACHINE. #1 SIT-INS: Instead of a play date at some lame girl's house, move the children to the McDonald's indoor playground. My vision is that small pockets of people will put these guidelines in action in every state in this union and, before you know it, we've put that Happy Birthday song right where it belongs: in the mouths, lungs and diaphragms of the American people, regardless of color, creed or religion!! So, I've written a few ideas below about tasteful, non-violent ways we can get the message across to the people who are lining their pockets with the lyrics of the Happy Birthday song. No one is going to solve anything by throwing Molotov Cocktails willy-nilly. I ain't standing for that mess anymore!! Let's get really angry, folks, and raise some ruckus! Let's put that Happy Birthday song back where it belongs- in the mouths of the people all across this land! Citizens who care about their kids! Citizens who wash their cars on their lunch breaks, hosing and scrubbing as best they can in skirts and suits! Citizens who like to quote Sheryl Crow songs! Citizens who work hard to bring butter and bacon home to little hungry Johnnys and Sues and Ralphs and Lindas and Beckys in this great land of ours! LET'S MAKE THAT HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG OURS!Īlthough this injustice just angers me to no end, I have decided the best way to protest is in a non-violent manner. It's like having to pay someone royalties to sing "Jingle Bells". ![]() I know someone worked long and hard to make that song up, but.I'm thinking it's high-time the public owns this song. For example, "Happy Birthday, dear Henry." This naturally leads to problems of scansion if the name is not two syllables with the stress on the first syllable, and a breakdown of ensemble if excessive ad hoc adjustment is required, for example if the person is known to all as "Mrs Winterbottom." The other line is "Happy birthday, dear _", where the blank "_" is replaced by the name of the person whose birthday is being celebrated, and serves to address the song to that person. Each of the three identical lines is precisely the title of the song: "Happy birthday to you!". Structurally, the text of the song consists of four lines, three of which are identical. My favorite part about the passage was when the author broke the Happy Birthday song down: If you want the nitty-gritty on that little ditty, you can find it here. Look it up right now."Īfter I stuffed 10 more chips in my mouth, plus one more with some green sauce, I Googled it. "I'm so sure!" (I still like to talk like a valley girl sometimes.) ![]() Just before the senors and senoritas gathered around with their, "HEY, BABY, QUE PASO (CLAP, CLAP, CLAPCLAPCLAP)!!" birthday song and right before my dad yelled out "Ole-dy!!" ("Old Lady"), my mom told me, "You know it's illegal to sing 'Happy Birthday' in public places, right?" Does anyone have a broom and a dust pan? Watch your step in here, too. Still, I'm embarrassed and that's why I asked you in sort of an angry voice, "Why are you all staring at me?" I knew exactly why. Good thing I bought that lamp at Goodwill. If they had been open, I wouldn't have knocked over that new standing lamp I just bought and put behind that orange chair up there in the right hand corner. I was dancing and singing that Kool & The Gang song with my eyes closed. So bring your good times! And your laughter, too, 'cause we goan celebrate and party with you. We wanted them to be at our beck and call for our celebration. A celebration to last throughout the year. We can't have a party without the proper recognition from the waitstaff, who were busy with about 4 other birthday parties. We obviously had to nudge the waitress to let them know there was a birthday party going on right here. Pretty sure they don't cart their salsa way up there. They may have them where you're from, unless you live in Omaha or something. Pappasito's is a big, awesome, yummy Mexican restaurant here in Houston that we went to for a family birthday party the other night.
