Help with Happy Birthday - not Altered

Postby avcool4u » Thu Feb 02, 2006 12:01 am

Hi folks,
You have all been so incredibly giving in recent days,
and I thank you.

I have a need for a better version of Happy Birthday.
I'm Dj-ing a party this weekend, and am not really happy
with the eddie howard version I've been using for years.
I realize this is quite off topic, but does anyone have
a more crowd pleasing version that would be appropriate?
I already have the classic Altered Images version.

Thanks in advance. I'll be posting some unique things up here from my collection shortly.

I don't know that one by Concrete Blonde.
This was a longshot I know, but still looking of anyone's got ideas,
Thanks.

The one by The Birthday Party is likely too punkish.

Well, this one's for the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. but the song is perfect when it comes to pleasing German birthday crowds (I like it, too):
