So, I know that people often sing "Sana Helwah Ya Gameel" to the tune of the happy birthday song at birthday parties.
I heard this sung at a birthday party in Egypt for a 16-year-old girl. How widespread is the use of this song in Egypt? Is it limited to families of a certain social class, or is it pretty widespread across all social classes? Is it sung for both adults and children, or just children?
Are the songs "Inzal Ya Gameel" by Walid Toufic or "Koulli Sana Wi-Inta Tayyeb Ya Habibi" by Gawaher ever used as birthday songs in Egypt?
Does anyone know where I could get a recording of "Sana Helwah Ya Gameel" or "Yala Halan Balan"? Was either ever recorded by a famous singer?
