Does anyone know the "Congratulations" song? When I first heard it, I thought it was some Korean song, because I initially only heard the beginning part of it. However, after hearing the whole thing I figured it was some love song which Koreans have adopted as a birthday song. I looked up the song. It was by Sir Cliff Richard.



Congratulations



USN : 1081

Performed by : Cliff Richard

Written by : Bill Martin / Phil Coulter



Congratulations and celebrations

When I tell everyone that you�re in love with me

Congratulations and jubilations

I want the world to know I�m happy as can be



Who would believe that I could be happy and contented

I used to think that happiness hadn�t been invented

But that was in the bad old days before I met you

When I let you walk into my heart




Congratulations and celebrations

When I tell everyone that you�re in love with me


Congratulations and jubilations

I want the world to know I�m happy as can be



I was afraid that maybe you thought you were above me

That I was only fooling myself to think you�d love me

But then tonight you said you couldn�t live without me


That round about me, you wanted to stay



Congratulations and celebrations

When I tell everyone that you�re in love with me

Congratulations and jubilations

I want the world to know I�m happy as can be



Congratulations and celebrations

When I tell everyone that you�re in love with me

Congratulations and jubilations

I want the world to know I�m happy as can be

I want the world to know I�m happy as can be

There are two things in this world that make me so angry that I literally see red. This song is one of them. Crown J is the other.

If Crown J were to cover this song, I'd go on a killing spree the likes of which this country has never seen before.

So *beep* Cliff Richard, Bill Martin, and Phil Coulter. And *beep* Crown J. And *beep* you for bringing this song up so late at night. Cuz I have to go to sleep now but you've gotten me all worked up. This song angries up my blood.

Cliff Richard once dated possibly the biggest moose in the uk(and its full of mooses) Sue Barker. He recently released an autobiography admitting his friendship with a priest whom has lived with for ten years. The priest offers nothing more than spiritual guidance and business advice according to sir cliff Laughing Laughing Laughing

Sue Barker is not a moose. She is a bit of posh and appeals to me cos she is always clearly hammered on A Question of Sport. The other woman the BBC use for sports is about 50 times uglier than Sue Barker. She really does have a face like a bulldog and doesnt hold a candle to our Sue.

Sir Cliff never hurt anyone. Never did anyone any good but never hurt anyone. Mistletoe and Wine is a great Christmas song when you change the words to 'With dogs on the fire and cats up the tree'

I actually liked a few of Cliff Richard's songs, and, anyway, he was an all right singer for his time. He wasn't stellar, but he was a good and talented singer. Anyway, this song is a love song, so it's funny that it's used as a birthday song over here. Is that done in any other country like this? What's the story behind all that?
