Happy Birthday Dirge (Volga Boatmen)

July 26, 2010

Wishing you a very joyous and Happy Birthday!

Okay, okay, so I first learned this song from other musicians (really) at a birthday party for the music supervisor of a large school district. Since then, it’s become my “favorite” birthday greeting and I FINALLY decided to create a YouTube version so I don’t have to sing it a bazillion times to loved ones over the phone (besides, I was able to add a few lovely famous art works to accompany the beautiful music).

BTW, if you wish to sing along (which might not be a bad idea), I’ve added closed captions with the lyrics :)

Just one word of warning - if you have a heart condition, a weak stomach, or are subject to seizures, this video may be a bit intense. Enjoy! :)
