Panjang Umurnya

This year, we will be celebrating every student's birthday in Room 209, either on their actual birthdays or on surprise "unbirthdays"! There's something about the "Happy Birthday" song that has always struck me as sad - it's difficult to sing nicely and a roomful of people singing it always sounds off-key and kind of down. When I heard "Panjang Umurnya" this summer, the Indonesian birthday song, I fell in love.

We have already celebrated one birthday and we sound positively lovely singing in Indonesian!


We also add up to three good luck "Hip Hip yeahhhhs" at the end, as selected by the
birthday or unbirthday boy or girl!
