Happy Birthday Song For Best Friend 2021

Souhaitez un joyeux anniversaire à votre bien-aimé en lui envoyant une belle chanson d'anniversaire.

Happy birthday to you!

Traditional variations:

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. More specifically, the birthday person is traditionally presented with a birthday cake with lit candles, with the number of candles sometimes corresponding to the age of the person.

After the song is sung (usually just once), party guests sometimes add wishes like and many more! expressing the hope that the birthday person will enjoy a long life. The birthday person may be asked to make a wish which he or she does silently and then is supposed to blow out the candles.

Traditionally, blowing out of the candles is believed (or is considered a lighthearted superstition) to ensure that the wish will come true. Once the candles have been blown out, people may applaud, after which the cake may be served, often with the first piece being served to the person whose birthday it is.

In Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Ireland, immediately after Happy Birthday has been sung, it is traditional for one of the guests to enthusiastically lead with Hip hip and then for all of the other guests to join in and say hooray!

History of the song:

On June 27, 1859, teacher Mildred Hill was born. You may not know her name but you will almost certainly have sung the song she helped write. Hill was the co-composer of Happy Birthday To You, originally called Good Morning To All, which is the song millions of people sing around a candlelit cake. It was first published in a songbook 90 years ago, on March 4.

Although by 1924 the famous melody had been sung in American primary schools for nearly three decades, the publication was to trigger almost a century of legal wranglings which would result in Happy Birthday To You being one of the most lucrative songs of all time.

To sing Happy Birthday in a restaurant, at a concert or public place, royalties had to be paid. The most recent exception to the rule, it would seem, is if you sing it on Mars - as Curiosity Rover did to the surface of the planet last August, a year after it landed.

The familiar six-note tune and original similar, but importantly not birthday-related, lyrics were the work of two sisters, Mildred and Patty Hill, who composed Good Morning To All in 1893 sing to their pupils every day. The Hill's lyrics wished listeners a 'good morning' where 'happy birthday' would later appear, and in this format the song made its way around Kentucky kindergartens and primary schools in the late 19th century.
