"I agree with you that the birthday song is pathetic. For years we sang this song from Snow White, which was cut from the movie. 'You're Never to Old to Be Young'. It always turned into a dance and sing-along."

"I LOVE the Disney birthday song! I play it for my students on their birthdays! They hate it (but they're in middle school, and middle schoolers hate everything! LOL), but it's so much happier than the traditional song. You've made my day! Happy, happy birthday to you Trevor!"
