 Chronology

**"Happy Birthday to You"** (also known simply as **"Happy Birthday"**) is a song traditionally used to celebrate the anniversary of a person's birth. The song's base lyrics have been translated into at least 18 different languages. "Happy Birthday to You's" origins date back to at least the late 19th century, when kindergarten principal Patty Hill and her sister, pianist and composer Mildred J. Hill, composed a song that young children would find easy to sing. Patty introduced the song **"Good Morning to You"** to her class in Louisville, Kentucky.
In 1893, the sisters published the tune in their songbook *Song Stories for the Kindergarten*. It is unknown when the the lyrics of "Good Morning to All" changed to "Happy Birthday", but it is theorized that the shift began when teachers adapted the song to celebrate birthdays in the classroom. The first book to include "Happy Birthday to You" lyrics explicitly set to "Good Morning to You" is 1911's *The Elementary Worker and His Work*.
In Sing, Meena and her family sing the song while celebrating her grandfather's birthday. Meena's grandfather was particularly impressed with how she sang it, and claimed that if he had a voice like her, he would be a superstar.

"I Love My Shirt"

**Donovan Philips Leitch** (born May 10, 1946), is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist known for ab eclectic style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso). He has lived in Scotland, Hertfordshire, London, California, and most recently County Cork, Ireland, with his family. Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan reached fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with live performances on the pop TV series *Ready Steady Go!*.
Having signed with Pye Records in 1965, Donovan recorded singles and two albums in the folk vein, after which he signed to CBS/Epic Records in the US - the first signing by the company's new vice-president Clive Davis - and became more successful internationally. He began a long and successful collaboration with leading British independent record producer Mickie Most, scoring multiple hit singles and albums in the UK, US, and other countries.
Donovan's most successful singles were the 1965 UK hits "Catch the Wind", "Colours" and "Universal Soldier". In 1966, "Sunshine Superman" topped the US *Billboard* Hot 100 chart for one week and reached No. 2 in Britain, while "Mellow Yellow" peaked at No. 2 in the US. 1968's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" charted in the Top 5 in both countries, while 1969's "Atlantis", peaked at No.7 in the US. The "Atlantis" single had different B-Sides in the US and UK; in America it was "To Susan On The West Coast Waiting", while in Britain it was "I Love My Shirt", a snippet of which was performed in *Sing*.
Donovan became friends with notable musicians ,including Joan Baez, Brian Jones, and the members of The Beatles. He taught John Lennon a finger-picking guitar style in 1968 that Lennon employed in "Dear Prudence," "Julia," "Happiness Is a Warm Gun," and other songs. Donovan's commercial fortunes waned after the end of the 1960s, and his output diminished in the 1970s and 1980s. With the emergence of punk rock, Donovan's hippie image was derided by critics as outdated. However, the rise of Britain's rave scene in the 1990s led to a reprisal of his music, and Donovan recorded the album *Sutras*(1996) with producer Rick Rubin. In 2004, Donovan released the album *Beat Cafe*. Donovan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014.

Ese amor llega así de esta manera

Caballo de danza vana
Porque es muy despreciado por eso
No tiene perdón de llorar

Ese amor llega así esta manera
No tiene la culpa
Amor de compra y venta
Amor del mes pasado

Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprendí a vivir así
Bamboleo bambolea
Porque mi vida yo la aprendí a vivir así

No tienes perdón de Dios
Tú eres mi vida la fortuna del destino
En el destino del desamparado
Lo mismo ya que ayer

No te encuentro l'abandon
Eres imposible no te encuentro de verdad
Por eso un día no encuentro si de nada
Lo mismo ya que ayer
Lo pienso en ti

**Ash's apartment** is within an apartment building in *Sing*. It is the home of Ash and the former residence of her ex-boyfriend Lance. It is located next to a laundromat and a hotel.

It is first seen, when Lance is singing a song while playing the guitar as Ash brought popcorn. Ash tried to get Lance to understand that she wants her opportunity to be for the both of them, but Lance refused to listen, calling her a sell-out.

The living room can be seen in a later scene where Ash and Lance laugh over the cheesiness of the songs Buster Moon selected for her to sing in his show.

It is later seen again as Ash walks in to find Lance singing with another girl. Ash kicks them out of the apartment, along with Lance's belongings, before sinking to the floor in sadness.

In a later scene, Ash can be seen in the process of writing "Set It All Free" as ripped photos of her and Lance are shown laid across the floor.

Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

**[Refrain]**
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

**[Chorus]**
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

**[Refrain]**
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

**[Verse 2]**
What do you think you'll do, then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

**[Refrain]**
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

**[Chorus]**
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

**[Refrain]**
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

"Take Five"

The **Dave Brubeck Quartet** was a jazz group founded in 1951 by American jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, with Paul Desmond on alto saxophone. Early drummers for the group were Lloyd Davis and Joe Dodge, while early bassists included Ron Crotty, Bob Bates, and his brother Norman Bates. The quartet took up a long residency at San Francisco's Black Hawk nightclub and gained popularity touring college campuses, recording a series of live albums such as 1953's *Jazz at Oberlin* and *Jazz at the College of the Pacific* and 1954's *Jazz Goes to College.* The latter album was also Brubeck's Columbia Records debut, following his departure from Fantasy Records when they denied him a half interest in the company.
In 1956, Brubeck hired drummer Joe Morello, who made possible the quartet's future rhythmic experiements. In 1958, African-American bassist Eugene Wright participated in the group's U.S. Department of State tour of Europe and Asia; one year later he became a permanent member, completing the Quartet's "classic" lineup. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Brubeck canceled several concerts because the club owners or hall managers resisted the idea of a racially integrated band on their stages. He also canceled a television appearance when he learned the producers intended to keep Wright off-camera.
In 1956, the Dave Brubeck Quartet recorded *Time Out*, an album Columbia Records was enthusiastic about but hesitant to release almost none of its songs were in common time. inspired by Eurasian folk music they experienced during their 1958 Department of State sponsored tour, the quartet used **9**/**8**, **5**/**4**, **3**/**4**, and **6**/**4** time signatures. Nonetheless, on the strength of these time signatures in songs such as "Take Five", "Blue Rondo à la Turk", and "Three to Get Ready", *Time Out* became the first jazz album to be certified Platinum.

Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Tori Kelly]**
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

**[Chorus: Tori Kelly]**
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

**[Verse 2: Jennifer Hudson]**
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips you drew a Hallelujah

**[Chorus: Both]**
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

**[Verse 3: Tori Kelly]**
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
**[Jennifer Hudson]**
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
**[Both]**
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

**[Chorus: Both]**
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-
Hallelujah

**Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim**(tõʒoˈbĩ; January 25, 1927 – December 08, 1994), also known as **Tom Jobim**, was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and pianist. Considered one of the greatest Brazilian musicians, Jobim is credited with helping create and internationalize the bossa nova style. Furthermore, he merged bossa nova with jazz in the 1960s in his collaborations with notable American artists, creating a very popular fusion. As such, Jobim is sometimes referred to as the "father of bossa nova", and his music has been covered by many musicians both in Brazil and abroad; the song "Garota de Ipanema" ("The Girl From Ipanema") has over 240 recordings by different artists.
Jobim's 1964 album *Getz/Gilberto* was the first jazz album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It also won awards for Best Instrumental Jazz Album, Individual or Group and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The album's lone single, "Garota de Ipanema", also won Record of the Year. In 1968, Jobim's collaboration with Frank Sinatra, *Frances Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim* (1967), was nominated for Album of the Year.

Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical

**[Chorus]**
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy
Duh

**[Post-Chorus]**
I'm the bad guy

**[Verse 2]**
I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know

**[Chorus]**
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy
Duh

**[Post-Chorus]**
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm only good at bein' bad, bad

**[Bridge]**
I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
You said she's scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne

**[Outro]**
I'm a bad guy
I'm, I'm a bad guy
Bad guy, bad guy
I'm a bad

**Benny** is a supporting character in *Animal Attraction*.

Appearance
Benny is a corgi with light brown fur and a white muzzle and belly. He wears a green tropical shirt with white flowers, and blue jeans. He also wears a green and yellow visor and black glasses. His eyes are brown and his eyebrows are large and bushy.

Biography
For Gunter's Eyes Only
Benny makes a cameo appearance as a casino patron, when Gunter, who is hypnotized, chases down the Suitcase bear.

Animal Attraction
Benny directs a commercial for Animal Attraction perfume, with Darius as the star. Darius runs in slow motion for a scene, but Benny tells him he is to run normally, as it will be slowed down in post-production. Darius still botches the scene by running in unconventional ways, and an annoyed Benny decides to just move on to the next scene. Benny's frustration persists as Darius continues to stumble and fumble his lines throughout the day.
At the end of the day, it is time to film the last shot, where Darius is to cry under a waterfall. Benny stresses how important this shot is and practically begs him to focus. Darius initially fails to deliver a genuinely emotional performance, but he then receives a text from his agent, who tells him he didn't get the part in a Tim Bearton production he auditioned for. This causes him to cry for real, and the shot is deemed a success, much to Benny's relief.

***For Gunter's Eyes Only*** is one of the two mini-movies that are featured on the DVD and Blu-Ray release of *Sing 2*.

Plot
When Gunter is hypnotized by Harry the Hypnotist at a hypnotist show in Redshore City, he becomes a secret agent and saves the day.

Cast* Gunter
* Johnny
* Harry the Hypnotist
* Suitcase bear

Trivia* It is unknown when this short is set relative to the events of *Sing 2*.
* The hotel this short is set in is likely separate from Crystal Tower Hotel.
	+ It features a theater (where Harry performs), a casino, the Laze R Club, a Venice-themed shopping area with a gondola river and a clothing store, and a Ferris wheel just outside it.
		- The indoor Venice-like area Gunter chases the suitcase bear through is based on the identical St. Mark's Square area within the Grand Canal Shoppes inside The Venetian Las Vegas hotel.
		- The Ferris wheel outside this hotel may be based on the High Roller located at The Linq hotel and casino.
			* Another hotel, themed on candy, features a likewise themed Ferris wheel of its own.
* In this short, Gunter wears a white variation of his gold pineapple-pattern jacket worn in *Sing 2*, which itself is a new version of his patternless gold sequined jacket worn in *Sing.*

Endings

**\*THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR DASHBORED AND NASHBORED\***

Endings are potential outcomes which a game can be completed with. DashBored has multiple routes with separate endings, which NashBored only has two possible endings.

## DashBored

### Bad Ending

This is by far the easiest ending to achieve. To get it, the player must play through the game as normal, and choose not to trust Alex Asboth.

### Good Ending

To get this ending, the player must choose to trust Alex when asked. This ending continues where the Bad Ending leaves off, and leads to a new area.

### Satellite Ending

To achieve this ending, the player must collect all Memories by the time Day 3 begins, and then speak to Midori in the M & J Building. From there, a new path will become available to the player.

### UFO Ending

To get this ending, the player must find every hidden UFO encounter in the game, while ignoring the Satellite path. Once the player reaches Vurrus' Mansion, a new final boss will be unlocked.

## NashBored

### Ending 1

To achieve this ending, Nash must allow Healbot to join the party. This leads to a unique sequence at the end of the game.

### Ending 2

To achieve this ending, Nash must refuse Healbot when it asks to join the party. This unlocks a new area towards the end of the game. The events in this area strongly foreshadow a sequel to DashBored.
