What was the first song sung in space, by whom and on what date?

"Happy Birthday to You" by the crew of Apollo IX on March 8, 1969, perhaps qualifying as the first song sung in space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You#Copyright_issues_and_public_performances Oct 15 06, 2:11 PM

Then again, the first human manifestation of song emanating from space might have been Yuri Gagarin's whistling effort in 1961. I don't know the tune, and I'm skeptical of Soviet claims on this subject -- but one never knows .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin Oct 16 06, 7:08 PM
