  • "The melody of "Happy Birthday to You" comes from the song "Good Morning to All", which was written and composed by American siblings Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill in 1893."

    Considering they essentially "stole" the melody, and just made up some lyrics to go with it, I would say they are in no position to be enforcing copyright. People should all sign an online petition to force courts to get rid of this nonsense. It should be public domain. Corporations are getting away with too much.

  • In the US, "Happy Birthday" will become public domain in 2030, but some experts claim it is not under legitimate copyright.

  • @sugarXsugarXsweet that is the person who plays lisa simpson

  • @akiratrooper It shouldn't be public domain. If you make a rap song (since many don't count happy b-day as a real song) you wouldn't just let anyone use it in commercials, shows, etc. You would want money for it. It's what keeps these small artists from going broke.

  • WEEGEE IS BEHIND YOU!

  • happpy birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy birthday dear copyright,

    happy birthday to you. o.k i sing happy birthday. you can sew me now.

  • argh stupid laugh track

  • @sugarXsugarXsweet thats the voice actress of lisa!!

  • You will have to wait until 2030 to sing it on air provided copyright still expire by then.

  • @Jorbz150 Yeah, it should've been put to public domain, but there are just greedy corrupt executives that want to get rich and stuff their asses with money, then interchange it with their heads and vice versa.
