"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.
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.

i live in Manchester UK which is near Warrington and I went to Gulliver's world Warrington and watched this bear show with this cool ride called billy bob planes ,the show was an old rock afire explosion so when i went back there ,a little bit older ,after i went i searched it up and found out about around 2013 and fell in love with it and then in 2014 I found this song on another channel and it didn't make me feel anything but no it's been so long and i am 14 now it shows you the meaning of life@Dead xmas
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
I was just Hearing this,then I heard burt Wilson died a.k.a Sal This song made me cry because RAE/rock afire explosion is my childhood, thank you burt "sal" Wilson
its my birthday today, so i'm listening to this. planned this at the start of the year, i remembered this song and its still just as good as the first time you listen to it, it just gets better with each time i listen to it.

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!"

@@tslavworks I know, I still think it's out of place though. I mean, I like the song anyways, I even like that part. But it does break up cohesion slightly
I know this comment is late but I love this song after years of hating Chuck e cheese I never knew what I was missing out on this song introduced me to the rockafire av explosion
the 4 ones that disliked are E. V. I. L. this song is very good if you didnt get it the first one is e, the second one is v, the third one is i, and the fourth is l.. e v i l evil
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.
A little girl at Looney birds she had her birthday party and the host and to stand in a circle and say something and PS. Choo choo is a baby bear who doesn't talk at all
mitzis design is inspired by queenie from the wolf pack 5, which was originally a fox and what aaron fechter wanted in the RAE, but the higher ups at showbiz wanted a mouse character due to the popularity of cec and disney's mouse characters. so fechter compromised and repurposed queenies design to create mitzi and most likely the higher ups wanted a va similar to minnie mouse
Her original name was "Mini Mozzarella" too. It should also be noted that this was recorded before Mitzi's regular voice actress, Shalisa James, joined the crew, so Monique Danielle plays her here.
"2 little monkies jumping on a bed, one fell off and bumped his head, the mama called the doctor and the doctor said: no more monkies jumping on the bed" and near the end sal says "i love you billy bob"
RIP to the man who wrote this amazing song. Burt Wilson 1955-2023🙏
OMG really? I did not know that

If i ever had the chance to see this i would be willing to play this for my sisters birthday
the floodgates of your eyes are sadly about to open . Burt Wilson, the composer of the song , passed away December 27, 2023

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

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)

I miss him so much fatz is my favorite character and birt sound’s like an amazing guy r.i.p man

Does anyone have the piano sheet music for this?
This song almost feels like it could have played on the radio literally
I love this song it makes me cry
Best birthday song I could hear
this song is so beautiful and then they start singing five little monkeys just totally out of place lmao
Not totally out of place, Sal's daughter is heard saying a line from it in the intro
@@tslavworks I know, I still think it's out of place though. I mean, I like the song anyways, I even like that part. But it does break up cohesion slightly
Today is my birthday and my brother decided to play this for me in the morning
How sweet of him
Rip Sal
He's still alive. He hosts a radio show in Florida lol. Goes by "Bubba" these days too.
Sal passed away in 2021 look it up on the wiki

I know this comment is late but I love this song after years of hating Chuck e cheese I never knew what I was missing out on this song introduced me to the rockafire av explosion
I honestly really like 1:53 because the beat is just perfect. thats all i got to say lol
I’d rather have someone sing me this rather than the normal birthday song. Can we make this song the norm?

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.

Hey can I use your vid for my yt channel please
Ask Aaron Fechter TH-cam: TheRockAfire
Can anyone translate what the kid says at the beginning?
She's doing the 'monkeys jumping on the bed' nursery rhyme.
its the monkeys jumping on the bed nursery rhyme
This is amazing! :) but why does Mitzi sound like Minnie Mouse
mitzis design is inspired by queenie from the wolf pack 5, which was originally a fox and what aaron fechter wanted in the RAE, but the higher ups at showbiz wanted a mouse character due to the popularity of cec and disney's mouse characters. so fechter compromised and repurposed queenies design to create mitzi and most likely the higher ups wanted a va similar to minnie mouse
