We've all heard people add "any many more" to the end of the traditional "Happy Birthday to you" song. Has anyone ever heard of adding "on Channel Four" or "and Scooby Doo on Channel 2" to end of the song?
I am 35 years old and just heard this for the first time ever. The person who sings it swears its common. I grew up in Florida, she grew up in San Diego. Maybe it's regional.
Have you ever heard this, if so, for how long (last 10 years, 20 yrs?), and where did you grow up?
Thanks for helping me with my research!

I grew up in Ohio, never heard theose before. The only time I have heard antyhing other than "and many more" was if a child and their friends were joking and being silly, adding "and may you walk into a door"...something totally off the wall that don't make sense. My nephew and younger siblings do this sort of thing ALL the time! Hope it helps!

Haha yeah I've heard "and many more" at almost every single birthday party I've ever been to. "Scooby Doo" is an old one that my friends used to sing in elementary school. Kind of brings back memories!
There's also the classic variation:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
You look like a monkey
And you smell like one too!

Yes, I have heard that among other variations (different shows on different channels). We used Mr. Magoo on Channel 2.
It was quite popular when I was a young kid 25 or so years ago....also in California, but I know it existed in other states back then as well.

I dont agree.i think of you ought to be in young human beings and so discover it awkward and embarassing.The birthday track could have become previous besides the undeniable fact that it contains captivating innovations with it to previous human beings.Why ought to you sense awkward and embarassing to sing the bday track?Its in a thank you to coach the variety you take care of a guy or woman and how united all are in making a track and expressing their love for a guy or woman.

No, I've never heard it end any other way than "and many more". Actually, I don't hear any endings to the end of the song, but if I do it's using "and many more".
