    The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.

    Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”

    Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”

    There’s also the “It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday!” chant that people do. Not The Birthday Song, but a birthday song (sort of).

  A birthday means you’re one year closer to your death. The music that should be played is “The Last Post”.
