      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.

      Edit: after researching it, I guess it’s 50 Cent, I’d always heard it, but never knew the source:
