00:00That has been the same since times immemorial.
00:02Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
00:12Happy birthday, happy birthday to you on New Plymouth.
00:26How did you like celebrate your birthday like back then?
00:29This won't work back then, I'm not that old.
00:32We enjoy birthday parties.
00:33Honestly, even for your elder sister,
00:37the birthdays, and for yours too,
00:39the first two or three birthdays are all about
00:41our friends getting together, celebrating.
00:44So it was more for you than it was for me, basically.
00:47Well, a little bit for you too, but...
00:50How about yours?
00:51No offence, dad.
00:52It's when I went to college
00:54and celebrated my first birthday away from family, actually.
00:58And because we had no parental restrictions,
01:01everyone went off the rails, and it was a really good time.
01:04We spent so much money, it all went down the drain.
01:06In your times, did you all sing the birthday song any differently?
01:09That has been the same since times immemorial.
01:12Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
01:14I did a thing, and we were saying also like,
01:16we always do the same old happy birthday song,
01:18but this one has a bit of a kick to it,
01:20and I want you to listen to it,
01:22because I personalised it for you.
01:24Happy birthday to you, G2.
01:26In the gym, you're a brute.
01:30On this day, you were born a star to a giant.
01:34Cool, right?
01:35Wow, that's amazing.
01:36I didn't know you could do that.
01:38You can.
01:39I mean, there are 8 billion people that walk this planet,
01:42and you know, to customise a song to somebody like that,
01:46it's really, really amazing.
01:47I used Cadbury's AI birthday song generator.
01:50So I scan the QR code on the Cadbury Celebrations box,
01:55and it takes me to a website.
01:56Whose birthday is it?
01:57So we'll put Mom's.
01:59Mom's name is Anupam, so we'll put Anup's.
02:02Her likes?
02:03She likes Chinese food.
02:04Where did you both meet?
02:06In college.
02:07What makes her smile?
02:08Drives.
02:09Drives makes her smile.
02:11Okay, do we want pop, hip-hop, country?
02:14Pop is more...
02:15Pop?
02:16That's true.
02:16Her genre.
02:17Choose a singer for this song, male or female?
02:20Male.
02:20Male?
02:22Oh, it's ready.
02:23♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday to you, Anupam. ♪
02:27♪ Met you in college, you were the first to cram. ♪
02:31♪ Long drives and you, it's perfect like a gram. ♪
02:35♪ Your presence in my life, it's a priceless gem. ♪
02:38Nice!
02:40I love it.
02:41I mean, I cannot believe that you can do something like this.
02:45But I really liked it, honestly.
02:46No, I also really like the whole personalised thing.
02:49You can put in your inside jokes with someone.
02:51You can put in like something very personal
02:53that actually makes it sound like you've actually put in the work.
02:57But it's actually quite easy.
02:59It's better than me singing to her all the time.
03:02The way I torture my mother
03:03because I just sing songs to her and I sing really badly.
03:06Yeah, yeah. On her singing, no comments.
03:09How mean.
