Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear no-longer-little Little Brother Jacky!
Happy Birthday to youuuuu!
This is also probably Hong Kong’s most mis-sung song. And the lyrics are copyrighted? Outrageous! I’m so ignoring that.
Later, Vickie gets sued.

Happy Birthday to your brother from Boston, MA–USA–
I watched a movie called Corporation where they touched on the topic of the copyright of Happy B-Day and instead of using the song they filmed a B-Day party where you could see people singing but couldn’t hear them..I think it’s like 13,000 dollars to use..not sure..
I won’t tell anyone you were singing!!

Oh, pass along the wishes for me. I had no idea people sung “Happy Birthday” incorrectly. What’s wrong with how they sing it?

@Christina: Hong Kong people sing “Happy Birthday to <name>” on the third line. Not grammatically incorrect or anything way off, but that’s not the proper lyrics.
@Nina: Guild Wars is an international “competitive online RPG”. Anybody can play with anyone from anywhere in the world! No subscription fee, too!

Your brother is so lucky to have such a caring sister. I wouldn’t sing Happy Birthday to mine on my blog haha. But then again he wouldn’t come around to read it so it would have been a waste of space anyway

Copyrighted? Interesting.
Are the melody or the lyrics copyrighted, because in Finland, we sing the translated version? Or both?
In which case, is singing in, say, a class considered public performance, hence sorta-kinda illegal?
