People usually don't recite the last name during the song.

"Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Tu,
Happy Birthday to you."

actually her first name would be Youyou, in chinese the surname comes before the first name, and it remains so even when converted to the alphabet.

i can tell that her first name is Youyou because in chinese, surnames are one-syllable and given names are normally two-syllable.

So, addendum (It actually gets easier to say):
"Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Youyou,
Happy Birthday to you."

BTW-How can an evil Chinese Communist plotting the doom of America receive a Nobel Peace Prize? Then again, Yasser Arafat received one as well. Hitler was also nominated.

It seems you cannot believe everything you hear on jreish news...

Sorry, I stand corrected. You are right. (see, Germans are not "always right")

Still related I gather?

You know, I do not think I have ever heard of the Nobel Medical Prize...

Να ζήσεις Tu Youyou
και χρόνια πολλά
μεγάλη να γίνεις με άσπρα μαλλιά
παντού να σκορπίζεις της γνώσης το φώς
και όλοι να λένε να μία σοφός.

Live tu youyou
and many years
grow old with white hair
everywhere spread knowledge's light
and everyone may say there is the wise
congrats, you now know the Greek Happy birthday song.

Fun fact: Tu in Lithuanian also means "you"
So in Lithuanian it would sound like Tu TuTu which in English would be "You YouYou"

Well if we're all talking about singing 'Happy Birthday' ... and you speak Māori ...
The Māori word for **** is 'Tūtae (two-ty)
If you are named/nicknamed Ty, singing happy birthday to you will make me laugh
'Happy birthday to Ty (Tūtae)' = 'Happy birthday, *****

In Chinese, "You" rhymes with "go" and "low". It's not pronounced with the long 'u'.
