OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says: Boys and girls, a little Ell Jay told me that today is lifewithmikey‘s birthday. So I rummaged through my birthday request letters, looking for just the right song to sing him. He wrote that I should surprise him. So, I did some searching. I found all sorts of birthday songs out there, but then found one written by Lea Salonga. Lea Salonga is an award winning Broadway actress (who made her name starring in Miss Saigon, Flower Drum Song, and many other shows), who was born in Manilla in 1971. Now I recall that Mikey’s family is from the Phillipines, so I thought: what better song to surprise him with.”

The Sheriff then clears his throat, strums an “A” on his guitar, and starts singing:

[Happy Birthday Song by Lea Salonga. Recorded on Tomorrow – Little Miss Lea Salonga Vol.2, 1980]

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform, wearing a Viking hat (horns and all), strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says:

I know you’re wondering what happened to my sharp lawman’s cowboy hat. We’ll, in honor of today’s song, I’ve decided to wear a different hat. I’ve also asked the Volga Boatmen to accompany me on this song. This is going out to you, kaottic97.

He then clears his throat, takes out his guitar, plucks an “A” note, and then starts singing:

Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, looks a bit sheepish, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says: “This morning, I sang the wrong song for ailurodragon. So, I’m going to get it right this time” He clears his throat, strums his guitar a few times and sings:

He pulls out his guitar, slicks back his hair in the manner of They Might Be Giants, and starts singing:

I’ll close with my favorite song (Real Media), which given the year you’ve had, is always worth remembering:

Happy Birthday, mertuil!
