'Happy Birthday to You', also known as 'Happy Birthday', is a song traditionally sung to celebrate the anniversary of a person's birth. According to the 1998 Guinness World Records, it is the most recognized song in the English language, followed by 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow'. The song's base lyrics have been translated into at least 18 languages.^[1] The melody of 'Happy Birthday to You' comes from the song 'Good Morning to All',^[2] which has traditionally been attributed to American sisters Patty and Mildred J. Hill in 1893,^[3]^[4] although the claim that the sisters composed the tune is disputed.^[5]

History

Patty Hill was a kindergarten principal in Louisville, Kentucky, developing various teaching methods at what is now the Little Loomhouse;^[6] her sister Mildred was a pianist and composer.^[7] The sisters used 'Good Morning to All' as a song that young children would find easy to sing.^[8] The combination of melody and lyrics in 'Happy Birthday to You' first appeared in print in 1912, and probably existed even earlier.^[9]

None of the early appearances of the 'Happy Birthday to You' lyrics included credits or copyright notices. The Summy Company registered a copyright in 1935, crediting authors Preston Ware Orem and Mrs. R. R. Forman. In 1988, Warner/Chappell Music purchased the company owning the copyright for US$25 million, with the value of 'Happy Birthday' estimated at US$5 million.^[10]^[11] Based on the 1935 copyright registration, Warner claimed that the United States copyright will not expire until 2030, and that unauthorized public performances of the song are illegal unless royalties are paid to Warner. In one specific instance in February 2010, the royalty for a single use was said to be US$700.^[12] By one estimate, the song is the highest-earning single song in history.^[13] In the European Union, the copyright for the song expired on January 1, 2017.^[14]

The American copyright status of 'Happy Birthday to You' began to draw more attention with the passage of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act in 1998. When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Act in Eldred v. Ashcroft in 2003, Associate JusticeStephen Breyer specifically mentioned 'Happy Birthday to You' in his dissenting opinion.^[15] American law professor Robert Brauneis, who extensively researched the song, concluded in 2010 that 'It is almost certainly no longer under copyright.'^[16] In 2013, based in large part on Brauneis's research, Good Morning to You Productions, a company producing a documentary about 'Good Morning to All', sued Warner/Chappell for falsely claiming copyright to the song.^[5]^[10] In September 2015, a federal judge declared that the Warner/Chappell copyright claim was invalid, ruling that the copyright registration applied only to a specific piano arrangement of the song, and not to its lyrics and melody. In 2016, Warner/Chappell settled for US $14 million, and the court declared that 'Happy Birthday to You' was in the public domain.^[17]^[18]

Traditional variations

It is traditional, among English-speakers, that at a birthday party, the song 'Happy Birthday to You' be sung to the birthday person by the other guests celebrating the birthday, often when presented with a birthday cake. After the song is sung, party guests sometimes add wishes like 'and many more!' expressing the hope that the birthday person will enjoy a long life. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, immediately after 'Happy Birthday' has been sung, it is traditional for one of the guests to lead with 'Hip hip ...' and then for all of the other guests to join in and say '... hooray!' This is normally repeated three times. In Canada, especially at young children's birthdays, immediately after 'Happy Birthday' has been sung, the singers segue into 'How old are you now? How old are you now? How old are you now-ow, how old are you now?' and then count up: 'Are you one? Are you two? Are you ...' until they reach the right age.

Both the music and lyrics are in public domain in both the European Union and United States. The copyright expired in the European Union on January 1, 2017. In the United States, a federal court ruled in 2016 that Warner/Chappell's copyright claim was invalid and there was no other claim to copyright.

The origins of 'Happy Birthday to You' date from at least the late 19th century, when two sisters, Patty and Mildred J. Hill, introduced the song 'Good Morning to All' to Patty's kindergarten class in Kentucky.^[10] Years later, in 1893, they published the tune in their songbook, Song Stories for the Kindergarten. Kembrew McLeod stated that the Hill sisters likely copied the tune and lyrical idea from other popular and similar nineteenth-century songs that predated theirs, including Horace Waters' 'Happy Greetings to All', 'Good Night to You All' also from 1858, 'A Happy New Year to All' from 1875, and 'A Happy Greeting to All', published 1885. However, American law professor Robert Brauneis disputes this, noting that these earlier songs had quite different melodies.^[20]

It is likely that teachers and students spontaneously adapted the published version of 'Good Morning to All' to celebrate birthdays in the classroom, changing the lyrics to 'Happy Birthday' in the process.^[3] The complete text of 'Happy Birthday to You' first appeared in print as the final four lines of Edith Goodyear Alger's poem 'Roy's Birthday', published in her book A Primer of Work and Play, copyrighted by D. C. Heath in 1901, with no reference to the words being sung.^[21] The first book including 'Happy Birthday' lyrics set to the tune of 'Good Morning to All' that bears a date of publication is from 1911 in The Elementary Worker and His Work, but earlier references exist to a song called 'Happy Birthday to You', including an article from 1901 in the Inland Educator and Indiana School Journal.^[22]Children's Praise and Worship, edited by Andrew Byers, Bessie L. Byrum and Anna E. Koglin, published the song in 1918. In 1924, Robert Coleman included 'Good Morning to All' in
