Does Your Band Have "Happy Birthday" in its setlis
« on: June 24, 2009, 06:13:38 PM »

... "in its setlist?"

And if so, which version (trad, Beatles, other?).

We keep saying we should do it (we only know about 30 or 40 songs), but never have gotten to it. We're trying to get more traditional gigs (now doing lots of block parties and back yard parties, thinking of maybe the wedding or Bar Mitzvah/Quincenero-type thing), maybe we should learn that ...

Have done and do, Birthday in various bands by The Beatles. Normally if someone asks the band to do traditional, I nicely refuse but start the singing off. Personally, I think the band is there to perform songs of it's style and it's up to family and friends to sing Happy birthday. ;)

Yeah we do it in the traditional style. And we sing it on and on, up to five minutes, so the family and friends get really sick of it, haha. We ask the person who's celebrating up on the stage and to pay beer for the whole band. That is the least he can do. Plus he can share a kiss with a bandmember he or she likes most.
