Happy 20th Birthday Cristin (ladysorka)!

I would regale you with the Viking Birthday Song, but somehow, I don't think it would work as well written down as it does sung...

Thank you!

I can't say as that I know that song, but I'll take your word for it...

It's something my friends always sing at b-day parties (although I have no idea where they got it). It's sung more like a dirge than a typical party song (which is part of why it's funny), and the lyrics are this:

Happy Birthday
::stomp::
Happy Birthday
::stomp::
May the candles on your cake
Burn like villages in your wake
Happy Birthday
::stomp::
Happy Birthday
::stomp::
We like children, yes we do
Baked or fried or in a stew
Happy Birthday
::stomp::
Happy Birthday
::stomp::


It's silly, and the second verse always results in scandalized laughter from the kids and anyone that's never heard it before. ::giggle::
