You Tube Happy Birthday Musical Clips

[arjay]

It is my son's 55th birthday today. He lives in Denmark. On"You Tube"There are many musical clips of people singing Danish "Happy Birthday" songs.
Could you please tell me how to send him a link by e mail so that when he clicks on it the selected song will play. Thank you

Actually embedding a video into an email is tricky because it depends upon exactly how the recipient gets their email. (i.e. it's difficult to do and can't always be guaranteed to work; in many cases it simply won't).

However including a link to a Youtube video page is just the same as linking any other page on the web:
Go to the relevant page.
Right-click in your browser's address bar to highlight the web address and bring up the menu options.
Select 'Copy'.
Go to your email.
Where you want the link to appear, right-click and select 'Paste'.
When the recipient clicks on that link their web browser will open and the video will play.

PS: Here are some possible 'Happy Birthday' videos for you to choose from:

Thanks, Arjay.

Just an additional note:

Ensure that there's nothing in your email immediately before or after the link. (i.e. you need to leave a space before and after it). If, for example, you type a full stop directly after posting the link it will get mixed up in the link, which then won't work.
