 There was a bit concern, since in the script everyone has to sing  "Happy Birthday" to the Bionic Boy, but Universal didnt want to pay  for the royalties, so writer Tom Greene came up with a clever  alternative at the last minute. He had Andy (the Bionic Boy) come to  the party late, and have his sister all annoyed say: "Youre always  late; even to your own birthday, so we already sang the song,  because everyone wanted to eat the cake!" To give it some heart when  asked to blow out the candles Andy just stands there, and then says:  "You only blow out candles when you want to make a wish, but looking  around I have everything I could ever wish for; so let them burn!"
