And Reelworld, the Seattle jingle factory that churns out jingles that sound more like the records on the radio today than what the Dallas houses were doing, but is criticized for being formulaic (among other things) by traditionalists, has now made available "Happy Birthday to You" with scads of male and female first names sung (along with a version for those obscure names) for people to download and share:
