The Barrow-Downs' Third Birthday Party and Downie Awards - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

From somewhere off to the side of the room, Lyra heard Manardariel shout "Kareoke!"
Great she thought, rubbing her hands together. An EXCUSE to sing badly!
Running as fast as her little Hobbit legs would carry her she got up to the front.
"I'll sing, but you're singing with me" she said, grabbing Manardariel by the arm. "After all, it was your idea"

The two had a huddle over what song to sing, Lyra was still happy from yesterday (1-0!) and wanted I'm forever blowing bubbles" but Manardariel wasn't too sure. They argued their way through various tunes before finally agreeing on: Happy Birthday!

Lyra looked forward. During the aham, discussions the crowd had all wandered away. "Turn the volume RIGHT up!" she said to the band, and with voices as bad (sorry!) as one another began to sing.

Happy Birthday to you
Squashed tomatoes and- began Lyra, before being quelled by a look from Manardariel.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Barrowdowns
Happy Birthday to you!
"It might not have been original, but at least it was short!" Lyra called to thunderous applause, gratitude they had finished, most likely!
"Who's next?"
