it’s not an add, it’s your friends trying to cheer you up, if you don’t like it then just tell them not to sing
You say that like it’s easy to be a rational human being
And it’s not even an ad for something I want.
Just start taking your clothes off, the song ends real fast.
My mother-in-law and father-in-law (before he died) used to call me on the phone and sing it to me with her singing harmony, while he also played guitar. And while the skill was appreciated… the first couple of times… it got old fast. And taking off my clothes would probably not help in that situation. I mean, obviously I did that anyway, but it didn’t help.
It’s also a great way to end a fight.
No one wants to fight a naked guy.
Fortunately it’s also COPYRIGHTED and so illegal performances of it could end up in big fines.
Feel free to stop the singers and remind them.
True for a long time, but this is no longer the case.
Don’t stop my get-out card with FACTS?!?!?!
My problem with the happy birthday tune is the key. Anyway my family got tired of singing a dirge so we speed it up. Gets it over quicker too.
Yep, another birthday is soon rolling around for me also. Luckily the friends who wish me happy birthday always call and do it in “opera” voices so it’s extra annoyingly loud and obnoxious. One can never be too embarrassed on one’s birthday, right?
There should be a birthday song where everyone (including you) sings.
The skip button is located in the face of the singers. You need to push really hard, but only once.
It’s a double click.
I, too, hate being surrounded by a warm and plentiful gathering of friends and loved ones singing a song of appreciation for me. Every year! Without fail! All of them never forgetting. There are always so many of them! Like, just for once, let me have a birthday alone in a Texas Roadhouse, which I have never done!
Definitely sucks to be remembered. Being forgotten and ignored is a much better way to live life. So much more fulfilling. Especially if you’re down to only a few remaining friends. The rest home is going to be awesome.
For real tho.
It’s so calm, no pressure, no expectations, no humans, just drifting slowly towards the warm embrace is the abyss. Even if it looks back at me - at least it’s not a human.
You guys, all, need therapy.
Humans suck. I don’t want them to sing to me.
Squid on here 20 hours a day, chu talking to yoomans :( you stimulating conversation to train models to replace us?! How could you!
On your birthday I’ll take a stand and purposefully NOT sing anything related to flying squids or you. As a gesture that not all humans suck.
Nice! When is his birthday?
I know an identity theft scam when I see one.
My gig is that I want a party so I can reconnect with all the friends I rarely see and (equally as important) have them all connect as well because it feels great doing so. They are all good people and I love seeing a crowd of good people together reconnecting.
The downside is that they eventually sing this song that strongly makes me feel like an uncomfortable 5-year old.
I had a big party my mom threw for my 40th birthday because she has a huge house and lives in the town where I grew up and half the people there never left. Another good percentage of them moved back. Anyway, I mostly ended up only talking to a handful of people who sort of monopolized me, so it was less fun than it could have been. Don’t get me wrong, it was great talking to them since I hadn’t talked to them in ages, but I ended up wishing I had talked to more people. I haven’t had a party since. Next year will be my 47th. Maybe if my mom is still around when I’m 50 she’ll do it again.
Yes, I understand that. My feeling is that I am happier having spent even just a few minutes speaking with the friends rather than not having seen them at all. Regardless, at the end I always wish I’d had more time spent with several of them.
I prefer going to karaoke with friends and shout singing this delightful birthday rock song in Engrish by a band from Okinawa. The lyrics are a little hard to hear so I’ll put them here:
I like birthday, I’ll become old man, and yet I like birthday
I like birthday because you celebrate
Happy happy happy birthday
I’m looking forward to so happy day
What will you present for me?
Please hold on me, I’d like you to do nothing for me
So hold on me
Please give me your love.repeat 2x

I thought it was a loading screen.
Aww my relatively new friends who I have a weekly social group with found out it was my birthday the one night we gathered and sang to me and it made me tear up to be that loved in a moment. I loved it. Nobody has sung to me in probably 30 years.
I don’t think anyone has sang me happy birthday in at least fifteen years, maybe twenty. I guess I’ve got the adblocker.
Please read this on your birthday: Happy Birthday!!
Not to be read until [your_birthdate]:
Happy birthday!
If, when they start singing, you get up and go to the bathroom, they will probably stop and not follow you. So, like 90% chance it gets better. 10% chance it gets much, much worse.
Ad blocker is age. When you get old enough this typically stops but like in a sad way
