CBeebies' new Birthday Song, by Sid...

Hi everyone!

I wanted to give you a sneaky peek behind the scenes of the new Birthday Song shoot we filmed in Manchester a few weeks ago!

Obviously we can’t have a party without recording an awesome tune to dance to so here’s a photo of me doing my best to hit the high notes in the sound session (well… if I’m honest, Katy did the high notes, thanks Katy!)

The old Birthday Song is officially very, very old and though we love to sing-along, we wanted to have a song that really got our bottoms wiggling, our arms waving and made everyone feel like we were at a great big CBeebies Birthday party together!

In fact, that’s exactly how the shoot felt! We had 18 children at that party, ages 1 to 7!

Everyone came along in their very best party gear, check out these sunglasses…

The room was decorated with CBeebies Bug balloons, CBeebies’ characters, streamers and beautifully decorated boxes which the children were sorely tempted to rip open!

…So was I if I’m honest! Katy and I had the fun job of surprising everyone by jumping out of a HUGE giftbox!

I hope you have lots of fun singing and dancing to the new Birthday Song, we had a ball making it… and now that I can’t stop singing it - every day’s a birthday day!
