It 39;s Your Birthday Song Lyrics
Neomi Bensch
Did you ask: "uh, what's a kukelchoo?"
Well, up on the moon it's nothing new but that won't do for you. On your birthday!
I searched behind the clouds and stars I even zoomed my bike to Mars
And met my friend the saucer man and he said:
"Hey Zoom I got the bestest plan! What your friend needs is something new,
So how about a song, just from YOU?"

Greg Currie appears at the table with a piece of cheesecake adorned with a single candle - and no entourage. His tall frame sways slightly as he begins to sing, voice full and melodious and soulful. Conversations at nearby tables die away and all eyes are drawn to the man in the white shirt and black tie, with a white apron tied around his waist and a voice like Nat King Cole.
Less than a block away, waiters and waitresses at Rock-Ola mass silently outside the kitchen. It's like watching the crows gather on the playground in ``The Birds:' exciting, but a little scary. They head down the aisle toward a crowded booth where Barbara Paxton's co-workers are marking her 23rd birthday.
Cellar Anton's has a long history of waiters and waitresses with naturally great voices. Though he's never had any formal voice training, Greg Currie, 31, was in band for five years at N.C. A&T. Jimmy Gatewood, 41, his frequent singing partner, majored in voice at UNCG and owns Encore music studio on Lawndale Drive.
Most restaurants aren't that lucky. So instead of singing the traditional ``Happy Birthday to You' and risking an off-key delivery, they go with jingles or chants that virtually anyone can do. And they also rely on strength in numbers.
No matter how big the ego, it's the rare birthday girl or boy who doesn't squirm when surrounded by five or six clapping and chanting waiters. A tighter economy has at least had one good result - Chi-Chi's doesn't plop a sombrero on your head anymore.
Birthday songs have become such a standard part of the service at many area restaurants that it's part of the training for waiters and waitresses. Some look like they'd rather be cleaning out the grease trap, but most say it's just part of the job.
``We made it short, so it's easier on the staff, and we added some variations so if you hear it more than once, you'll hear something different,' says Chris Larson, regional manager of Longhorn. Depending on your sex, and perhaps the mood of the servers, you might hear one of three versions:
Restaurant managers try to avoid excruciating songs as torturous to the serenaders as it is the serenadee. TGI Friday's actually held a contest among its employees to come up with a birthday song. It's more of a chant than a song, done to the old familiar Army marching cadence:
If asked at Friday's whether you want the long version or the short version, don't think you're getting off easy by choosing the short version. The staff simply drops to their knees to do the same song.
"It's My Party" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lesley Gore from her debut studio album I'll Cry If I Want To (1963). It was released as the lead single from the album on April 5, 1963, by Mercury Records. The song was collectively written by Herb Wiener, John Gluck Jr., and Wally Gold, while production was helmed by Quincy Jones.
The song lyrically portrays the discomfort of a teenage girl at her birthday party when her boyfriend Johnny disappears, only to return in the company of Judy, another girl, who is "wearing his ring", to indicate he has replaced the birthday girl as his love interest.[2]
"It's My Party" was credited to John Gluck, Wally Gold and Herb Weiner, staff writers at the Aaron Schroeder Music firm in 1962. The lyrics were actually written by Seymour Gottlieb, a freelance songwriter. He gave the lyrics to Herb Weiner, with whom he partnered in writing songs, to peddle. It was based on actual events relating to Gottlieb's daughter Judy's "sweet sixteen" party, before which she cried over the prospect of her grandparents being invited.[4] The demo for the song was cut by Barbara Jean English, a girl group veteran (the Clickettes, the Fashions), who was then working as a receptionist at the firm. She also worked with Jimmy Radcliffe, serving as the firm's in-house demo singer. Radcliffe produced the demo, and, according to English, "tried to persuade Musicor [the label owned by Aaron Schroeder] to release it as a record, or to take me into a master studio and redo it, but they weren't interested".[5]
The song was also recorded by Helen Shapiro for her Helen in Nashville album in February 1963, with Shapiro's regular producer, Norrie Paramor, and also Al Kasha. Shapiro later recalled: "Right from the first time we heard the song on the rough demo back in London, we thought we were going to sock them between the eyes with that one";[5]however, Shapiro's version was not one of the cuts chosen as an advance single from the album and by the time of the album's release that October the "It's My Party" track was perceived as a cover of Lesley Gore's hit.
Lesley Gore recalls that "It's My Party" was among some two hundred demos producer Quincy Jones brought to review with her in the den of her family home in February 1963. On hearing the song, Gore told Jones: "That's not half bad. I like it. Good melody. Let's put it on the maybe pile." The song proved to be the only demo Gore and Jones found agreeable. With Jones producing and Claus Ogerman handling arranging and conducting duties, Gore recorded "It's My Party" at Bell Sound Studios in Manhattan on March 30, 1963.[5][6]
Over the next two days, Jones mailed these out to radio programmers in key markets across the US. Gore heard her record played on the radio for the first time that Friday; the official release of "It's My Party" came later in the month, with the disc ascending to number one nationally in four weeks.[5][7] Jones was abroad at the time of "It's My Party"'s release. On his return, he expressed dismay when Aaron Schroeder advised him that the rush release of "It's My Party" had precluded coining a more pleasant name for the singer than "Lesley Gore", to which Schroeder replied: "Didn't anybody tell you?... Quince, the record's number one. Do you really give a damn what her last name is?"[5] [failed verification]
