And here's my original vlogging pimp video from a while back on YouTube...

Not a week goes by on YouTube without a group of vloggers doing a collaboration video wishing another vlogger a happy birthday. And, in those collaborations, somebody always sings the traditional "Happy Birthday" song. Unfortunately, that song is actually copyrighted, owned by Time-Warner, and they consider singing it on sites like YouTube or LiveVideo to be a "public performance" that requires paying a royalty.

And so, I offer my all-new copyright-free Happy Birthday song. Have fun with it; it's my gift to the world.

More info and resources... Unhappy Birthday - Happy Birthday Screw You (by Kembrew McLeod) - and Snopes Urban Legend Reference Page.

I don't really know what to say about this one other than, "Yo, yo yo!"

Okay, I can tell you this much... I was in Los Angeles over the weekend for a family event. Sunday morning I woke up in the hotel room with this running through my brain. I quietly got out of bed, careful not to wake the wife, found a sheet of hotel stationary and a pen and went into the bathroom to turn on a light and write it all out.

The song was made using GarageBand, the video in iMovie - All on a Mac, of course.
