I hate singing Happy Birthday. It always sounds like a funeral dirge, people sing very slowly and often off key.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
A friend of mine from West Virginia use to sing what he swore was a genuine West Virginian version of Happy Birthday, to the tune of the Volga boat song:
It's your birthday *stomp*
It's your birthday *stomp*
People dying, children crying
It's your birthday *stomp*
I doubt WV really gets the blame, but it does make a change from the usual version.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
genuine West Virginian version of Happy Birthday, to the tune of the Volga boat song:
Reminds me of the birthday song the guys wrote for Murderface in that episode of Deathlok...
something was growing inside your mother it was you
I'm not the only one who knows about that, right?

Wow, some good memories there. I almost want The Prom on the list, but I love that episode to pieces (I call it George) for Johnathan's speech. The whole ep wasn't that important, but that speech really sticks out in my mind as one of the best Buffy moments ever.

Me too, Vortex. Guaranteed to make me cry everytime.

One of the things that I love most about it is that it answered the question we'd all be asking "how fucking stupid are the people in sunnydale not to notice this shit?" and the answer was "they notice, they just don't talk about it"
