i’m watching a british youtuber’s birthday stream and an aussie viewer sent in a comment saying “why was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all? because he had no say in it, no say in it at all” which was received with confused existential horror, and this is how i just discovered that australian happy birthday songs are not universal
oops
do you not sing this in other countries?!?!??
NO we do not sing a lament for someone’s personal beauty wishing they’d never been born. That is some weird Greek tragedy shit.
my grandparents are australian so i grew up singing this song
it caused some serious confusion at birthday parties when i was a kid
In Australia even the birthday songs want to kill you.

Lmao, honestly I like the Aussie version better. Ours is literally just “it’s you’re birthday! Gee wiz, you were born...
