RIP to the man who wrote this amazing song. Burt Wilson 1955-2023🙏

"Light up the candles, one for every year that's gone" is the deepest, most melancholy lyric I've ever heard in a birthday song, period. I can't imagine how many parents had to try to hide their tears from their kids after hearing this song and being reminded of how precious and fleeting life is when they were expecting your average cheesy birthday song.

My friend from the rock afire fan base sent me this I just turned 18 and everything and I’m thankful for him as being my friend.

Cast Arron Fecther - Billy Bob, Looney Bird, Beach Bear, Rolfe And Earl Duke Chauppeta - Dook Laure Burt Sal Wilson - Fatz Germio Manquie Danielle - Mitzi Mozzarella Rick Bailey - Mr. Moon This was the first show for Manquie for Mitzi, Rick as Moon before taking over the role as Beach Bear in 1982-1986, 1987-1994.

This is the best birthday song ever. I get tears in my eyes every time I hear it

RIP Burt “Sal” Wilson, the musical genius powerhouse of rock afire explosion. You’ll be sorely missed :(

Makes me feel good and a little sad

I’m the little girl in the beginning! :)

I cried when I watched this I love this fandom and i hope everyone in this fandom has a good life.

when you watch this evry march since 2014 and you cry when you relise that you are growing up.

I tear up every time Dook sings his part in this!!!

This song always gets me in the feels man. It starts out as a corny birthday song for parents to hear in the background as they watch their children devour pizza and cake. But after the first “yeah yeah yeah” it shifts to a beautiful, melancholic melody as the animatronic characters go silent and the acoustic guitar softly lays down each note. Suddenly it hits you. You’ll never be able to live this moment again. To your child, it’s just another birthday, and you can always come back to Showbiz for their next one, and they can even play this song again. But next year, it’ll be different; one day they might even say that Showbiz is for babies, and it’ll only have been a few years since this very moment. All of these thoughts hit you at once, and a lump forms in your throat. Then, just as your little baby’s about to ask if you’re okay, the characters spring back to life, singing that chorus and reminding you that it’s just a silly birthday song, sung by silly characters, at a silly restaurant. This had to have happened to at least one parent in the 80s.

so sweet I love you Billy Bob!

Today is my birthday and wow, this song hits hard but it's even more hard when it's your birthday. It's simply beautiful, I really love it so much

R.i.p. Burt "Sal" Wilson, we will miss you.

i’ve listened to this song every year since i was about 14 :) i’m 19 today!!🎉

I cried listening to this. When I hear the lines light up the candles for every year that’s gone I think of being a three year old blowing out my candles at a big birthday party

Somehow I need to book the RAE to sing this next year. Today I officially turned 15. Life is getting hard.

I love billy bob and this my favorite song he sang

this song hits you harder than a semi truck, probably the most emotional song birthday song i've ever heard.

Rest east Burt. We will all miss you.

This song really hits once you realize how much you've grown regardless of how cheesy this song is

this song is so beautiful and then they start singing five little monkeys just totally out of place lmao

Can anyone translate what the kid says at the beginning?

0:13 Choo Choo's Voice?

It’s sad sal is gone from the company…. I just got news Sal died…. R.I.P Legend..

Is it just me but I legit cried

This is the right type of birthday song. Meaningful. Make you cry in a good way. Chuck e cheese birthday songs just are soulless, and cringey. I wish Showbiz was still around today so i can experience this.

I honestly really like 1:53 because the beat is just perfect. thats all i got to say lol

stand in this circle

Hey can I use your vid for my yt channel please

Lyrics {Verse 1} We're having a birthday party Today is a special one And having a birthday party is a lot fun So light, light up the candles one for every year that's gone We'll sing a song for you, and we're hoping your birthday wish comes true You're gonna get lots of presents You're gonna get a spanking too We're giving you one to grow on and its just for you (Yeah its just for you) Its time, its time to celebrate another year has gone Have a happy birthday (Birthday birthday) Yeah yeah yeah {Verse 2} We're having a birthday party Today is a special one And having a birthday party is a lot fun (A lot of fun!) So lets light, light up the candles one for every year that's gone And have a happy birthday (Birthday birthday) Yeah yeah yeah... {Verse 3} Two little monkeys jumping on the bed (Havin' a birthday) One fell off and bumped his head (Havin' a birthday) Went to the doctor and here's what he said (Havin' a birthday) "No more little monkeys jumping on the bed!" (Havin' a birthday) So light, light up our candle one for every year that's gone (I love you Billy Bob) (Have a happy birthday) (Have a happy birthday) (Have a happy birthday) (Have a happy birthday) (Have a have a have a happy birthday) (Have a have a have a happy birthday) (Have a have a have a happy birthday
