Happy Birthday

No, it's not my birthday - I'm a December baby. I'm talking about the song "Happy Birthday". As bellydancers are frequently hired for birthday parties, it's useful to know where you can find a copy of the Birthday song, one with a bellydance flavor.

In my research, I have discovered the following bellydance birthday songs:
  • On an unknown Jehan album, there is a routine that starts with the Happy Birthday song.
  • On a children's album by Madonna (the Arabic Madonna), there is a version.
  • Walid Toufic's Greatest Hits album has Happy Birthday in English, Arabic, and French!
  • The album "Bellydance Party" by Isis and the Star Dancers has a short and sweet version of Happy Birthday.
If all else fails, this youtube video has a very silly, possibly Turkish, Happy Birthday.
