tips on how to sing happy birthday

People often get into trouble singing Happy Birthday because they don’t know what key to sing it in, and often start too high. It helps to remember that the first note in Happy Birthday is the lowest note in the song.
At work, we’ve also found the other key to singing Happy Birthday — sing it fast.

And for those people that don’t like singing, it’s over that much faster!
