When I was younger, it surprised me to find out that Happy Birthday To You was a copyrighted song. Nonetheless, Happy Belated Birthday, Bone the Fish! -- Submitted By: (Robert) on March 8, 2010, 8:42 am - (0 votes)

I would of thought that was not true, but I looked at snopes, and apparently, that is. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on March 7, 2010, 7:05 pm - (0 votes)

About a month or so ago, the Bo and Jim radio show from here in the Dallas area had a "Did You Know?" segment where the most unusual true facts are mentioned for listening pleasure. One of the facts was, "Did you know that 'Happy Birthday to You' is currently owned by Warner Chappell Music (Warner Bros.' songwriting division)?" They then mentioned that any public establishment (restaurants, etc.) that actually sing the song have to send a royalty check for $1 to Warner Chappell every time this song is performed! (What do you think YouTube will do because of that WMG issue, mute out entire home videos of birthday parties that have this song?) Also, in reference to my e-mail message from BTF, Happy 1st Birthday! Sorry for the long delay, I've been quite busy! Your website is still enjoyable! -- Submitted By: (SVN) on March 7, 2010, 12:48 pm - (0 votes)
