The one my family sings these days is "Cut the Cake" by John McCutcheon, another upbeat song. The dirgelike "Happy Birthday" song is the one we all learned as preschoolers. I always imagine it sung by Eeyore ... "Happy Bi-i-i-irthday, dear Pooh Bear, happy birthday to you-u-u-u ..." Actually, the Peanuts song is pretty good.

IIRC the "winner" was <em>Macarthur Park</em> ("Oh Jesus, the cake!"). Runner-up was <em>Wildfire</em>, which I truly detest. I'm pretty sure <em>Having My Baby</em> made the top 5. But the only song I'll cross the street to avoid having to hear is <em>The Greatest Love of All</em>. Dave Barry did a survey on this topic years ago.
