My gf and her family went to a coworker of her moms birthday party. It was a bunch of older black people, we were the only white people there. It got pretty awkward when this song :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYJPIZ-C-9c came on and EVERYONE immediately stood up and starting singing. We had never heard the song before, is this a black thing or are we just uncultured white people who don't know enough Stevie Wonder?

As long as you got home safely, why does it matter?
12/12/2008 10:48:27 AM
Oh this happens all the time! I hope they just sang the chorus though

Because I was just curious if this was something done by the older black crowd or if this is a general black thing. Because seriously everyone in the room except the 4 white people knew what song it was the second it came on.

Usually it starts off as the usual birthday song and ends with some stevie wonder. All the white people I've been around have heard this and sang along.You guys are just weird.

We usually ambush people on their phones at random times during their birthday and sing "THHHHHIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS IIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS YOOOOOUUUUURRRRR Birthday Song,It's isn't very long!"*and then hang up the phone before they can answer*The explanation is kinda useless alone but Gamecat and probably even Sayer can vouche for it.
