I have been looking for a copy of the birthday melody for years.... It's tradition in our family to play this to play that song, so now I can bring it back. Thanks for posting!

Wow! I still have this 45rpm record and it still plays even though it's cracked all the way through!

I know this is old, but I have to add one thing. Showbiz pizza didn't fall prey to Chuck E Cheese. They actually bought Chuck E Cheese out of bankruptcy and ran both restaurant chains for several years before deciding to unify them all under one umbrella.

Unfortunately, the expense of running the Rock-afire was one of the reasons the decision was made to switch all restaurants to the CEC brand.

There's a great little documentary about all of this that fans might find interesting:

It's rather a shame I never had a Showbiz where I lived. Best I had to contend with was other such clones with names like "Razz-Ma-Tazz" and "Major Magic's (who held out the longest in my town alone), though I use to see Showbiz ads on Detroit stations all the time back in the 80's.
