Swan Song
Today is actually my birthday. In lieu of the traditional singing of "Happy Birthday to You," which is still unreasonably protected by copyright claims -- despite being composed over a century ago -- I offer the little ditty from the YouTube video above.
I may be one year older, but at least I still recognize almost all of these Internet memes . . .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY To......um Happy day of your....um pleasant celebration of the beginning of your existance in the physical plane that intersects with my existance in the same physical plane that is common to all life as we know it. This greeting and salutation is in no way to be construed as an infringement of any existing copyright or intelectual property ownership, either unintentional or intentional, to the best of my recollection at this point in time bosa nova.
