Hip Hop Happy Birthday!!!!!

In honor of Robert's birthday, I was thinking about this Donald Duck birthday song that I STILL have engrained in my head from our trip to Disney World in the mid 80's. Do you remember?



In honor of his 50th birthday, Donald Duck got his own parade in 1984. Donald's float featured live ducks wearing party hats. The ducks were contained within the float by a plexiglass barrier. A caretaker would walk along with the float to make sure the ducks didn't get injured or try to escape.
The parade featured the song Happy Happy Birthday to You. The lyrics simply went: "Happy Birthday. It's Donald's Birthday. Happy, happy birthday to you. Hey Donald!" If you go to Walt Disney World today, you can still hear a variation of this song in restaurants when cast members sing to guests celebrating a birthday. The birthday ditty was written by Michael and Patty Silversher and a version of this song was also on the Disney record "Splashdance".
