Sad, hurdy-gurdy Happy Birthday rendition from dying electronic candle

A reader writes, "This was our birthday candle a year ago, one day the candle just started playing again (maybe heat change…) and was pathetically trying to get "happy birthday" to sound right…
You can't imagine how badly one candle can get this tune."

It's got a sad, defiant, haunted hurdy-gurdy sound to it, like the ghost of Tom Waits was trapped in it, playing a Casiotone.


Happy Birthday to YOU
