My manager suggested that the team would sing for me last year in a group meeting. I asked why and she said they should sing because it’s my birthday.

The Happy Birthday song is 3/4 time actually and Happy is on beat 3, at least the one I know of.
yes I stand corrected. I was just thinking it was a grace bar and didn’t think any further of it
