i\u2019m watching a british youtuber\u2019s birthday stream and an aussie viewer sent in a comment saying \u201cwhy was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all? because he had no say in it, no say in it at all\u201d which was received with confused existential horror, and this is how i just discovered that australian happy birthday songs are not universal

\n

oops

\n
\n\n

do you not sing this in other countries?!?!??

\n
\n

NO we do not sing a lament for someone\u2019s personal beauty wishing they\u2019d never been born. That is some weird Greek tragedy shit.

\n

fuck I\u2019ve literally never thought about the lyrics of this thing I\u2019ve been singing my whole life but: yes, we do sing this - and it\u2019s to the tune of our national anthem

\n
\n

oh shit so it is, I didn\u2019t even notice that aspect what the hell
