Hello All.

Strange I Know for this time of year, but Ive just taken a booking for a birthday party on Sunday (40th). The are having a cake presentation and want Happy Birthday song played during, I have Stevie Wonders track but the client does not want it as its too long winded. The other track I have is on a compilation album Birthday song (traditional) but it sounds like it has been recorded by the crowd from my local.
I usually get away with Stevie Wonder or Celebration or getting the guests to sing but not this time, does anyone know of a nice clear and plain happy birthday song.

Thanks.
Jim.

There are 2 versions on the 'DJ Box Set' (CD2 I believe) one is traditional and the other is by Smeg the Duck

Hi - I know what you mean, they usually sound like a Mrs Mills singalong, I've never really found one I like so I've chopped of the front off Stevie Wonder one so it comes in straight on the Happy Birthday bit and then I fade it out after 1- 2 mins or so, usually into Celebration. maybe if you explain you've cut out the 'boring bits' they'll be OK with it - and apart from that, no ever seems to realise it's about Martin Luther Kings birthday, they should be honoured to have it played!

happy birthday by dj bobo. dance version with a reggae beat to it.
