Happy Birthday. Check out the most recent 5 versions video here- th-cam.com/video/P1yWh6FSDQY/w-d-xo.html
Charles Cornell thanks dad
uuuuuu
Charles Cornell You’re a month early 😬
Charles Cornell thank you! How did you know?
Happy Birthday.
I believe we’re forgetting level zero, in which everyone knows how to sing, yet also knows how to sing perfectly wrong, and does so as wrongly as possible to make your birthday a nightmare.
Me and my sister leaving choir practice every week
Exactly
W-why you gotta call me out like this ?
excuse me but thats level 6
Colby Allen my whole family does this every year without fail
level 5: theoretically impossible
choir kids: *enter the room*
My school, literally we did that to the principal on her birthday!
If you guys wanna hear our choir it's Ardenne high School
Choir was hard but I can do a level 4
ok boomer it’s not that hard I’m a choir boy myself
Level 0.05: Saying Eat More Chicken at the wrong time....no? Just a texas thing? Ok...
@@K4ntoe same my guy
Ironically, I think level 5 is more likely to traumatise a child than level 1.
You have a like of 69, can't ruin it
@@infinityguy16 thank you, you are a person I respect.
Agreed
Especially the first part, it sounds like they are summoning something
Like 711
Confession: I have quietly enjoyed #5 at some point on my birthday for 3 years now & have no plans to stop. The beauty overwhelms me: goosebumps every time I hear it, sometimes with tears.
I know this is a late response, but the #5 was actually beautiful. If I got this on my birthday...It would would at first weird, then surprisingly good, then I'd probably want it every year.
My birthday today, same thing here 😬😁
I always return to this video for anyone’s birthday. It’s honestly just so good. Hilarious, and beautiful.
Level 1: Demon Summoning
Level 2: Average Human
Level 3: Skilled Human
Level 4: Disney Movie
Level 5: Ascending to Heaven
Amazinglynn BAHAHA
Sadly level 1 is actually average human
Amazinglynn level 5 took me outta this worldzzz
Me and my friends are totally level 2 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
5: when I turned 1 years old
4: when I turned 6 years old
3: when I turned 9 years old
2: when I turned 15 years old
1: when I turned 18 years old
Sleeping Dog1176 like I said if it were realistic, you shouldn't believe everyone is saying from the comments ya know? (:
@Sleeping Dog1176 r/wooooooooooooooooOoOOssssSSsssSSSsHhhhHHHHhHH
I felt that 😔
Sleeping Dog1176 r/whoosh
@Sleeping Dog1176 bruh if you want ruined a joke it must be
" *How possibly 1 year kid can sing* "
The moment I heard the start of Level 5 I spit my drink out of my mouth. It was both unfathomably brilliant and hilarious.
That chord at 3:10 is fucking glorious 😭
@@im_Spade_ agreed
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i actually rewatch this video once in a while simply because of the arrangement of level 5. gorgeous.
literally same i found this video like 2 -3 years ago and i still watch it
Yea same XD it's just great!
i come across this multiple times and always watch it
Same dude
Likewise! Genuinely fantastic arrangement! I showed it to my family and now every birthday I start trying to do the intro to level 5 and then noone joins in 😢😢😢
jimmy at the start: 7 years old
jimmy at the end: 54 years old
Hinamori Amu shugooo charaaaa 😭this manga was my favorite When I am 10
@@louisa2248 yes 😂

Lil Kittens Kawaii Edits! I am french so excuse me if i am doing error 😂😉
Hinamori Amu this is unrelated, but I can’t believe I’m not the only shugo Chara fan
How they sing:
Level 1:Classmates singing
Level 2: Family
Level 3: A Party full of almost everyone I know
Level 4:Singers sing
Level 5:The birth of Christ
MLG_Todd lol
I only wish my family was up to level 2.. That even sounds acceptable.
If only my family was a choir like level 4, I would give the world and more to them. I would have no other reason to exist.
If there was level six:God singing as best he can
My family is Level 1 and my class is Level 2
Level 5 is very jacob collier
Version 1 was nails on a chalkboard.
Versions 2 and 3 were pretty.
Version 4 was really good.
Version 5 was like a whole ensemble and then some, with some jazzy chords thrown in.
That's incredible. I wonder how many tracks versions 4 and 5 took!
Just rewatched it for the first time in over a year. Will never get old
@@eliconnelly6660seeing it rn has gotta be the most sterilizig thing I've heard
My goal in life is to do #5 for someone's birthday. but first I need, like, 5 friends who can sing.
I went to a music school and that pro level was legit how people sang it
damnn you're blessed 😍
Which school
@@evananderson4299 Adolf Fredrick musikklasser a swedish music school
@@hallespartaj8132 Yoooo var det en bra skola eller? Hört att det är hög standard och svårt att komma in på den skolan, levde den upp till det för dig?
i feel extremely sorry for you
This should be titled “the intensity of theatre kids on their friends birthday based on how much they care about them”
AHHH THIS IS SO TRUEEEE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
see, you’d imagine this is how it sounds when a choir sings it but lord. typically it’s between 1-3😂
Nah when I was in chorus at my school we had at least level 4. There was a part for the altos, sopranos, tenors, and bass. It was very overwhelming. The teacher even had the student stand up.
For real though lol
No part 5 was college choir, 4 was high school pro choir, 3 is basic h. S. Choir, 2 is adolescents level knowledge, 1 is Peasant knowledge
Level 0 : everyone forgets your birthday
Level -1: They rember your birthday but don't come anyway.
@@SevconSky Level -2: People fight at ur birthday party and you get scared
(Happened when I was 4)
Comedy
level 69 - they don’t sing happy birthday they sing revenge with a lot of memes mixed in it and then they play Sweden from minecraft
@• Artistic Gamer •
My jam
Is there a level -5? If so that would be the way my family sings happy birthday. We all sing different parts of the song, out of key and absolutely nothing is at the right time. It’s great
fax
😂
That’s pretty much my family 😂
My wife's family actually sings like a 4.5 in this scale.
I was in shock the first time I've heard it, I'm not kidding. And for her this has always been the norm and she still refuses to believe they are way over the top hahha
Poor Jimmy. He just wanted one song and cake and he got himself a whole concert
I wouldn’t be mad at that.
Kitten Plaz r/whoosh
No, the person meant "I" not "he", basically "i am okay with that". So R/wooosh
@@mitsogamer8366 not a woooosh plus it is woooosh with 4 O's
Jimmy AKA Mr. Beast
No one is ever allowed to sing anything other than No. 5 at my Birthday.
no. 5 what, mambo?
Sounds like no ones going to ur birthday..
@@fatimajanneh252 I could. :3
I am the 666th like 🙂
Happy birthday
lol I was the thousandth like
Level 5 sounds like Jacob Collier ✨ Beautiful harmonies!
Exactly
Seriously!
It sounds more like Voces8 to me ❤
I like how the level 5 song took like half of the video lol
Level 5 is how that 1 uncle at the party thinks he sounds
@SweetSugarDoodles • 😂😂
lmao 😂
Lmfao
Lmao
Straight up facts! Damn, I wish I wrote dat comment!
"How are you even doing this there are 4 of you"
Pentatonix: Am I a joke to you?
Ha
Haha
Hahaha
Hahahaha
Hahahahahaha
my mom is in the choir so she sings perfectly while my other family members are singing badder than 1 😔
My G really said "badder" 😭
NoooOOoooooO!!!!!!! "Badder" is not a word. The word you are looking for is, "Worse". You can edit your comment. 😥
man people are really pressed ab you saying that, I find it quite ok.
@@trentmitchell3496 I wasn't pressed I was just laughing at him
If your name is Jimmy, I can only imagine this is great to watch for your birthday, especially the last 3
last one is what i imagine pentatonix's friends get every year
A K it’s also every birthday party of any postmodern jukebox member
HAHAHA LMAO
Sameeee
Your comment made my day😍😍😍
A K
Ikr
“I just want cake”
I felt that on a personal level
Yo same
Hi mom
Same right here
That was deep.
I felt this comment on a personal level
I would actually burst into tears if someone ever sang the fifth version to me. 1. I am affection starved 2. I'm autistic with a special interest in music, singing especially and echolalia or whatever it's called, meaning I'm sensitive to sound. So being able to de-stress with pleasant sounds would be heaven.
Have you ever listened to pink Floyd or tool?
my family sings around level 2 whenever it’s my birthday, it’s not amazing but atleast it’s in key unlike level 1 (also needless to say but i’m mildly autistic)
Please more "terrible to amazing" stuff, it's awesome!
The last one made me feel like I'm transcending into the heavens and I'm honestly uncomfortable.
Auburrito Boi ascending *
nah this dude transcended past heaven with that one
Why? Its magical!
Don't get me wrong - it absolutely was. But imagine being sung happy birthday like that when you're so used to level one or two. It would feel too good to be true that someone plotting a murder against me would be the only logical explanation for this supernatural of a happy birthday rendition. But it's probably just me lol
Auburrito Boi I feel you dude. I would feel super spoiled. If someone gave me a tiny plant, I would feel super spoiled😅🤭
You forgot to add the people that randomly be like “Cha cha cha”
😂😂😂
LITERALLY WHY DO THEY DO THAT
Natalie Hernandez FRRRRRRRRR
YEE
“eat more chicken”
I was just at my aunt's birthday and she's an opera singer, and so was most of my aunt's guests and i must say. That birthday song was so beautiful with my aunt doing some jazzy improvisation on top.
Do you have sheet music for Level 5? I really want to teach my choir that arrangement.
lol
I’m sad there’s no reply to this. I was going to ask the same thing.
The hope never die

The most frustrating thing is when you want to harmonise but no one is actually singing the melody in tune
bzadihg ;oA
you hit a nerve
And not a good nerve ;-;
H4RR150N YES. Like when you’re the only one who can actually sing and everyone is just talk singing like UGH can y’all just, like, okay?
facts
Lol right or my dad trying to hit that same harmony he’s the overachiever for sure
Love love love the key levels 3-5 are in, Ab Major, so damn warm!!! Loved the hummed harmonies to begin level 5 so so much✨✨✨
The flat 5 harmony in the end of the song in level 5 was absolutely genius!
“How are you even doing this there’s 4 of you.”
I am now deceased.
May you relieve weariness in wonderful nonwarring conditions.
@@kennethshen7265 Thank you for stating the obvious. You have successfully failed your reading comprehension. I was talking about the line in the video where he asks that question.

Nooo, the worst part is when after the "dear" everyone calls you differently
it's more awkward when you have a really long name
They have to rap for that
you’re lovely

Level 5 was so satisfying and peaceful. I want this for my sweet 16 lol
lmao we need a clip of just lv5
@@pure_RAGE right
What if we sing it for them in the replies!? 😂
"sweet 16"? You'll get Neil Sedaka's song 😂😂😂
Level 5 reminds me of my great grandmother. She was such an amazing person and not a day goes by without me thinking of her. I get emotional everytime I hear this.❤️❤️
I love how in every shot, everyone is awkwardly standing/sitting
Level 1: You turn 7
Level 2: You turn 10
Level 3: You turn 16
Level 4: You turn 24
*Level 5: You turn 275*
There is 175 likes and you said
“*You turn 275*”
There is 274 likes
I'm the 255th like.
*coincidence?*
level 5 is funeral level
Level 6 is at: 42069 years
Today is my 40th birthday. I will intentionally listen to this every year. Would adore access to the Level 5 piano sheet music version.
Happy belated birthday!
Happy Birthday!! (Im 2 days late sorry)
This was super relaxing weirdly exactly what I needed after a long day before I go to sleep, thank you 🙌🏽💯
Level 1: Everybody's tone deaf.
Level 2: Typical family.
Level 3: Family with a background in singing.
Level 4: Choir family.
Level 5: Boyz II Men enthusiasts.
Level 1-0: A bunch of music majors that purposefully yell
Level -1: A bunch of music majors that sing it perfectly fine but in different keys to make it dissonant
Spot on 😂
Also Jimmy:
Why did they sing me happy birthday five times
Cuz they love him
Plot twist: Jimmy has other identical 4 brothers.

Kitty Pusheen with the same name?
Actually he sang it 5 times as 4 people so he really sang it 20 times
1:40
And that is when I realized Jimmy was the favorite child
Ok but the IV 7 chord at 2:38 was the most pleasing sound ever
“I just want cake”

Jimmy’s reaction to #5 (the relatable claps) is EXACTLY how I would react to this if it was sung to me on my birthday. I would be so much in awe that I would practically lose feeling in my hands (like I always do) but still manage to get some small claps out
No.5 gives me the chills! Absolute beautiful hamonisation and use of chords! The Db7 major in the middle was just... Wow.
Four and sometimes five are theatre kids. You can’t convince me otherwise
On my own (maybe with one of my sisters or two) I'm a solid four with some gentle riffs and small runs XD
Don’t forget the kids doing a cappella
@@vincentli2023 I feel like almost every time I sing happy birthday it's a cappella oof
You right
yeah we sang happy birthday at rehearsal and had people specifically set the pitch so we would all match harmonies
“ found the overachiever"
*Me looking at my sister*
thehorrorlover32 x couldn’t agree more
Honestly I'm the overachiever
I don’t get it
Me looking at myself 😔
My friend is the overachiever
i love he has a mic and piano in front of him and doesnt use it lol
I feel extremely called-out by the 'found the overachiever' bit.
The worst is when your singing it for two people, and you have to say their names super fast.
When the name is more than two sillables
Yea, I have a twin sister and the people at the party when their singing are like, carolineandellaaaa
my friends are triplets and they have more than one syllable 🌝
My fam sings it twice👁👄👁👌
You can also sing for one person at a time so you don't need to rush.
The most painful experience is being a singer at level 3 but being with a family at level 1.
TheAmazingEuph SO RELATABLE
ha i suck so im the only level 1
Oh I just go back to level one, it's the most fun
kinda relatable, my mother is singer
Rory BOCHNER
that thing that happens when you’re at your friends house for their birthday and their “we’re all highly gifted professional musicians” family starts singing happy birthday and two notes in you realise that everyone is trying not to stare at you for being out of tune… of course I am totally not at all in no way speaking from experience…
I cant stop laughing after seeing the birthdayboy's reaction
The last one was a well done but the candle had melted when they started singing
Not even half way through the video and we’ve reached level 5:
Me: “Uh oh, I wond-“
Charleses: “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH”
OmG this was me LMAO
“Charleses”
Yep.
I leaned back and audibly said "oh shit"
Literally me 😂
Same
never had a single party where someone sings better then level 1
Stolen. I noticed cause 2 comments down i saw the original with 12k likes. 😑

I had one similar to number 4 once. I come from a not so well of family so one time because they know I like music they tried to do harmonies and stuff. They really tried so hard and it meant a lot.
Feels good to share that😂
Tristan Stafford exactly
I still come back to this every few months or so. It’s so hilarious but also so beautiful. Still waiting for my level 3, 4, and 5 though lol
me too. Every year
Ngl that last one gave me chills as a musician. The harmonies, sus and open voices… beautiful. If I was jimmy I would enjoy that last one for sure❤❤
Every kid in elementary school: the second one
Every kid in middle school: demon summonings
Every kid in highschool: stays lvl 1
But loud...
welp ,Im the 666th like e
Lol yes
Every kid who has no life: level 5
My teammates when it's someone's birthday:
**demonic yelling and screaming**
My choir when it's somebody's birthday:
**angelic harmonization**
I feel this in my bones
bro my choir doesnt try and our director yells at us bc nobody harmonizes
True
Ha, im in band and they just blast their horns when it's someone's birthday
G.A. Ciske my teacher makes the birthday kid stand on his chair while we shout happy birthday at the top of our lungs
Wow… 4 and 5 gave me goosebumps! You’re so good!
when we do it in school it sounds like a funeral march 🐌🎶
The level 5 is how the angels sing Happy Birthday to Jesus every Christmas
A T this made me LOL 😂😂😂
Who?
Jesus deserves it!
Rachel R yessssss he does dying for our sins and what not
Imagine having your birthday on Christmas so you only get 57% of the presents you would normally get. Dang, Jesus’s getting straight cheated out here.
Level 1: When my dad's family has birthday celebrations.
Level 5: When my mom's family has birthday celebrations.
Livie Hotchkiss Mines the complete opposite
Livie Hotchkiss Its just a joke btw
Bad joke and i dont appreciate it

"Found the overachiever"
I feel attacked but okay.
U should

ALWAYS
Same. Harmonize your ass off.
Level 6:
The person that says “and many more” after finishing
haha that's what my mom always does🤣🤣🤣 it just kills it completely 😂
I do that
And many more... on channel 4...
...on channel 4
And those kids at school who do the stupid "cha cha cha" thing after every line
The blend at the end was amazing
They just turned the last one into an opening of a movie
Moral of the story: Being bad at something means you eat sooner

Love how you can still convince us that Jimmy is seven even though he has a beard.

nerdified fangirl Yes! His Jimmy impression made the whole thing for me. So innocent and yet perfect emotional shifts to rep the audience reaction. I was belly laughing by the end. So good.

Oof
....ok
Oh boy, have you never seen the movie adaptation for Beowulf?
Kamuraze _ it’s a possibility, I mean i don’t even know this guy. 😀😅
I give you level six: the people singing are *an actual literal choir* currently rehearsing for their next opera at *an actual literal opera house* and they hit you with an eight-part, a capella, four different texts at once canon that dissolves into a four part harmony
Or, as we call it: Monday :)
my family is actually the choir my Dad is the Baritone, My mom is the Lead, my Sister is the Tenor and I'm the Bass. We are all in the music industry
glad to hear that, when my voice cracks ima become a literal oktavist
Have you and your family tried the Barbershop Harmony Society arrangement of HBD? I would say it's between levels 4 and 5 here.
Level 1: literally my birthday
Level 2: Me singing
Level 3: an experienced “singer”
Level 4: a singers birthday
Level 5: welcome to heaven
By that logic, Level 5: Anti-Vax kids' 7th birthday
Lmao
LMAO
So was there a portal to hell that was opened
Imma make vid on what won of u said

I would run out while I still can

my god id think id shed a tear
Copied comment
Dude its been two years already... Again congratulations Charles! You're awesome!
4 is the best. Right before the overkill, not too long or crazy, still sounds amazing. Also I think it sounds better than 5.
You forgot: theatre version. That one kid starts riffing and embellishing all over the song, and then pushes everyone aside and signs the high not as a solo before everyone else rejoins and finishes the song.
Oh, and you forgot: god version. The curtain parts to reveal a full instrumental ensemble accompanied by a concert grand piano with mozart himself playing it, and an 8 part choir, and angles, all of whom proceed to sing/play a perfect classical rendition of the song for you.
What kind of parties have you been to???
CaptainWafflez damn I’m the theatre kid 😂
Huh?
Those angles tho

The reason why Jimmy (the 7 years old) have a beard...
because his birthday song Level 6 took them so long to finish it.

"you're still going"
"jimmy wants cake"

I was at a party where everybody (including me) independently decided, "I'll sing the bass part." So it became a roomful of dudes all thundering deep down, *HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...*
2:30 Oh my, what a nice chord progression! Didn’t expect to get that in a video like this!
Level 0.5: When people say "cha cha cha" at the wrong time
