Happy Birthday
Kids Now Lyrics

The song "Happy Birthday" is a classic celebratory anthem that has been sung by millions of people all around the world on their special day. The song's simple and repetitive melody makes it easy for anyone to sing along and join in the festivities. The lyrics are straightforward and direct, conveying nothing but warm wishes and joyous well-wishes. "Happy birthday to you" is sung twice to emphasize the importance of the day, followed by the personalization of the message with "happy birthday dear..." and then concluding with another instance of "happy birthday to you" to round out the celebratory message. It is a song that brings people together in times of joy and celebration, and has become a staple of birthday traditions wherever it is sung.

It is interesting to note that the "Happy Birthday" song is actually copyrighted in the United States, owned by Warner/Chappell Music. This means that it is technically illegal for anyone to perform the song in a public setting without paying royalties to the copyright holder. However, in 2015, a court ruling declared that the copyright was invalid, as the original copyright holder never actually owned the rights to the song. This has resulted in the song becoming part of the public domain, and it can now be sung freely without fear of legal repercussions.
