View Full Version : Anyone Else Hate The Song "Happy Birthday To You"?
Chad22 01-26-2010, 10:25 PM I can't STAND that annoying song. I hate it when people sing it to me on my birthday and hate hearing it sang to other people too.
I love birthdays, I love being wished a happy birthday, I love celebrating birthdays...but that song is awful. Who decided this was catchy? They need a new one.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* 01-27-2010, 12:47 AM In kindergarten, when they sang it to me I hid under the table. I hate the attention focused on me, it's so awkward lol. I don't mind singing it to other people, but when it's me I'm like ahhhh what do I do with my face?
EmoJoe 01-27-2010, 01:14 AM In kindergarten, when they sang it to me I hid under the table. I hate the attention focused on me, it's so awkward lol. I don't mind singing it to other people, but when it's me I'm like ahhhh why do I do with my face?

Elvis Fonzie Dean 01-27-2010, 04:21 AM You sicken me, Chad.
comedyfreak 01-27-2010, 05:16 AM I don't mind the Birthday song.
sunshinefizzy 01-27-2010, 03:53 PM I am more tolerable to it now but when I was younger I would have, like, panic attacks knowing that they would sing it to me or I would have to sing it to someone else. Nice to know I'm not the only one.
catlover79 01-27-2010, 05:31 PM LOL love that ep
Ditto!! :rofl:
MickeyMac 01-27-2010, 07:12 PM Its not my most favorite song in the world, but if people want to sing it to me on my birthday I can tolerate it.
catlover79 01-27-2010, 07:43 PM I've never minded the song.
KurtfromPitts 01-30-2010, 01:22 PM Count me among those who can't stand the song. Personal reasons.
waichingliu81 01-31-2010, 12:12 PM i do. i hate it when its sung on my b.day. it's so cringeworthy. i have to put up with it this wednesday when i turn 29.
Penny Lane 01-31-2010, 12:38 PM Yes I hate having Happy Birthday sung to me as I am a person who doesn't like to be the center of attention. But if you must sing to me PLEASE sing The Beatles " Birthday"! I will tolerate that!:p

James 01-31-2010, 02:58 PM Not really, although as I have aged I have been tiring of people, well, reminding me that I am older. The attention gets to me, as well. I don't really want the world to know.
While the song as a whole doesn't bother me, hearing the song being done by a restaurant is grating on the ears to me, not to mention embarrassing. One violator is (or should I say was, since the chain went out of business in 2002) the Bill Knapp's chain, with restaurants in Ohio and Michigan, as well as a few in Indiana, that played an instrumental version over the loudspeaker when one of the guests was celebrating a birthday. The others are those loud theme restaurants in which the waiters and waitresses start clapping and come over to the guest and say "happy happy birthday" (or whatever; it's hard to make out over the clapping). puke:
Janice 01-31-2010, 03:56 PM I'm not wild over it being sung to me, but I do think it's a sweet song. The look on a child's face when it's sung to them is priceless. It's the most recognized song in the English language. It has an interesting history.

YoliUSA 01-31-2010, 08:51 PM I used to hate it with a passion when I was little. Everytime they would sing it to me I would start crying and screaming :lol: . Nowadays I don't mind :) .
