Here is my instrumental version of "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" by Neil Sedaka.
I am playing it on my 50's Series Fender Stratocaster through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. I always recommend earphones; preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

The Song
"Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" is a pop song released in 1961 by Neil Sedaka. Sedaka wrote the music and performed the song, while the lyrics were written by Howard Greenfield. The song is noted for being similar in musical structure to Take Good Care of My Baby by Bobby Vee (another 1961 hit), and additionally for its resemblance to the melody of the Chiffons' subsequent 1963 hit "One Fine Day". Both of these songs exhibiting similarity to "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" were penned by the team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin (King and Sedaka were close friends in high school, and Sedaka was known for his appropriation of other popular song motifs in his work). The song reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart.
Lyrics
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satins and lace
I can't believe my eyes, you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
When you were only six
I was your big brother
Then when you were ten
We didn't like each other
When you were thirteen
You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up
Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be mine, so
If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl, I've ever seen
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
