One of the most famous performances of "Happy Birthday to You" was Marilyn Monroe's rendition to U.S. President John F. Kennedy in May 1962. Another notable use was by comedy pianist Victor Borge, who played the song in styles of various composers, [57] or would begin playing Moonlight Sonata, smoothly transitioning into the song.

The only difference in the melodies of 'Good Morning to All' and 'Happy Birthday to You' is the Good in the first line is split to form Hap-py. Because the melody of 'Good Morning to All' is public domain, it should be legal to use for any reason - as long as the 'Happy Birthday' lyrics are not used. This has never been tested, and I can find no relevant legal precedents. Interestingly, it should also be possible to put any lyrics of your own devising to the same tune - including lyrics which split the first note over two syllables. If only someone had told Bernstein that.

A couple of weeks ago I was continuing my usual post-Paris-moan about not being able to find great bread in LA when Ludo handed me a book about bread baking – Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish. I love a challenge and so jumped straight in, carefully following the recipes and making batch after batch of delicious crunchy fresh bread.

I was totally surprised and touched last night at my birthday dinner with my girlfriends when Waylynn Lucas gave me a beautiful 3 tiered strawberry cake she had made. Waylynn has started making birthday cakes at her shop fonuts as well as ice cream and her classic fonuts. Waylynn says “I have this weird need to always make sure anybody in my life has a b-day cake!” It was delicious, thoughtful and so unexpected – perhaps that old cliché is really true – it’s the thought that counts – especially when it comes in the form of a pink cake with candles. Thank you Waylynn!

THE SPEED VERSION
I loath, despise and detest the usual "Happy birthday to you". Hearing it only once in one's life would be boring enough, because it drags a few words out into a whole stanza by excessive repetition, over a turgid tune. But one hears it very often, which makes it even more boring. For my own 60th birthday party I gave notice that I would leave instantly if that song were sung. My friends respected my wish. About 50 years ago we saw a movie with Farley Granger playing a spoilt rich boy/criminal who was being transported across country and he convinced his guards to stop off at his mother's house (mansion really) so he could sing a special birthday song to her. It was a ploy to try to escape (and I don't remember if it worked) but she was having a big party and Farley Granger did sing to her and the song has stayed in our memory banks ever since. It's sung to Twinkle twinkle with a slight modification at the end: When I was at school there was probably not much more exciting than going to the zoo, I used to really look forward to trips to Drusillas and to Marwell Zoo. I followed the stereotype of an animal-obsessed girl, including a line in pets (I'm not very good at keeping hamsters or goldfish alive, don't ask me to pet-sit), horse-riding lessons (I became a master in falling off - in fact so much so they used me to help break-in the newly broken-in horses to riding in a school!), membership to the RSPCA and a large Sylvanian Family collection. Well Kit's not been to a proper zoo yet, and London has one, so to celebrate my turn of the decades wedragged Nanny and Grandadthere! Who doesn’t love flowers? But rather than send someone cut flowers it’s so much better and no more expensive to send or give an orchid or two. Not only are these flowers classic, stylish and oh so chic, but they don’t go bad, as in they don’t die days after the celebration is over. Weeks and even months or years later these plants keep on going. I have taken to putting the old orchids outside and waiting for a couple of months for them to re-flower. Thank you to the lovely ladies who drove over from the West side to celebrate with me last night and brought with them these beauties. Happy Birthday To You' is one of the most frequently sung songs of all time, listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the three most-sung songs in the English language (along with ' Auld Lang Syne' and ' For He's A Jolly Good Fellow'), and has become part of almost every birthday celebration - it has even been sung in space. Nobody knows how many languages it has been translated into - except to say it is an awful lot.
