"Happy Birthday to You" Where did that song come from?
The story of how the song "Happy Birthday to You" came to be,began as a sweet one,that later soured.Two sisters,Mildred Hill,a teacher at the Louisville,Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten,and Dr.Patty Hill,the principal of the same school,together wrote a song for the children,entitled "Good Morning to All." When Mildred combined her musical talents,as the resident expert on spiritual songs,and as the organist for her church,with her sister's expertise in the area of Kindergarten Education,"Good Morning to All" was sure to be a success.
关于“祝你生日快乐”一歌是如何产生的故事,一开始是件令人愉快的事,到后来就变了味,令人很扫兴.事情是这样 的：有姐妹俩,一个叫玛德里德．希尔,路易思维尔市肯德基实验幼儿园教师,一个叫柏蒂．希尔,该校的校长.姐妹 俩一道为儿童们谱写了一首歌,歌名为“大家早上好”.玛德里德是当地赞美歌的专家,再加上她的音乐天分,又是当 地教堂的风琴师,而且她姐姐在幼儿教育方面也很有经验,“大家早上好”一歌无疑是个巨大的成功.
The sisters published the song in a collection entitled "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893.Thirty-one years later,after Dr.Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teacher College,a gentleman by the name of Robert H.Coleman published the song,without the sisters' permission.To add insult to injury,he added a second verse,the familiar "Happy Birthday to You."
1893年,两姐妹发表了一部歌曲集,题名为“幼儿园的故事”.三十一年以后,在柏蒂．希尔出任哥伦比亚大学师范学院幼儿教育系系主任之后,一个名叫罗伯特．H．科尔曼的男士未经姐妹俩的允许,私自出版了这首歌,在这首歌后又加上了一段,即大家熟悉的“祝你生日快乐”,这就构成了对姐妹俩的伤害和侮辱.科尔曼先生增加的第二段歌词使这首歌很快就十分流行.
Mr.Coleman's addition of the second verse popularized the song and,eventually,the sisters' original first verse disappeared."Happy Birthday to You," the one and only birthday song,had altogether replaced the sisters' original title,"Good Morning to All."
最终,姐妹俩的第一段歌词消失了.“祝你生日快乐”,这首唯一的生日歌完全取代了姐妹俩原来的歌曲“大家早上好!”.
After Mildred died in 1916,Patty,together with a third sister named Jessica,sprang into action and took Mr.Coleman to court.In court,they proved that they,indeed,owned the melody.Because the family legally owns the song,it is entitled to royalties from it,whenever it is sung for commercial purposes.
玛德里德于1916年逝世后,柏蒂与其另一个妹妹杰西卡出面将科尔曼先生告上了法庭.在法庭上,她们证明,实际上她们拥有这首歌曲调的版权.由于这首歌曲的法定版权属于希尔姐妹家,它便被赋予了皇权,无论何时这首歌因商用目的而被唱的时候,其皇权总是会受到保护的.

History of Birthday Song
The very popular ‘Happy Birthday to You’ song has become an indispensable part of birthday celebrations across the world. Today, the song is over a hundred years old. The story of the song has a sweet beginning though later it was bogged by controversy. It is still not certain who wrote the lyrics of the song ‘Happy Birthday to You’.
History of the Happy Birthday Song
Happy Birthday song is considered to be a joint work of two American sisters, Mildred J. Hill who was schoolteachers in Louisville Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten and Dr Patty Smith Hill who was a Principal in the same school. The song that was originally composed by two sisters was entitled ‘Good Morning to All’ but bore the recognizable melody. The tune of the song was first published in 1893 in the book, ‘Song Stories for the Kindergarten’. It credited Patty Hill for the lyrics and Mildred Hill for the music. Over the years the song became extremely popular in schools across US. The melody of this song is passed into the public domain and it is therefore safe to hum in public without permission.
Controversy over the Lyrics
It is said that some forty years later, Patty Hill came up with the words, ‘Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Dear name, Happy Birthday to You’. She also fit those words into the melody of ‘Good Morning to All’ song. The entire song was published in 1935.
There is one more version to this story. Some says 31 years after, ‘Good Morning to All’ song was published, Dr Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teacher College. At that time a gentleman, Robert H. Coleman published that song, without the sisters' permission. Besides, Coleman added a second verse, the now popular ‘Happy Birthday to You’.
Popularity of the Birthday Song
The addition of Birthday verse popularized the song and over the years ‘Good Morning to All’ verse composed by Hill sisters disappeared. The Birthday Song gained popularity in late 1930s when it was sung in ‘As Thousands Cheer’ - a Broadway Production. Today, the Guinness Book of World Records recognizes ‘Happy Birthday to You’ as one of the three most popular songs in English language. The other two being ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and ‘For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.’ The Birthday Song is popular all over the world and has been translated into dozens of languages. English version of the song is more popular and is sung even where English is not a primary language.
Legal Battle over the Copyright
After Mildred died in 1916, Dr Patty along with her third sister Jessica took Coleman to court over the copyright issue of the song. It was proved in the court that Mildred and Patty own the melody. Thus the family became the legal owner of the song and was thus entitled to royalties from it whenever it is sung for commercial purpose. Ownership of the song swapped hands in a multi-million dollar deal. The current copyright of the song is owned by Warner Communications. They purchased the copyright in 1989 for more than $28 million dollars. The copyright of the song has been extended several times and is now not due to expiring until at least 2030.
It therefore follows that one cannot use the "Happy Birthday to You" lyrics for profit without paying royalties. In other words unauthorized public performances of the song are technically illegal. It means that every time you hear the song sung on TV or radio it means the royalties are being paid to the Warner Communications.
（二）
"Happy Birthday to You", also known more simply as "Happy Birthday", is a song that is traditionally sung to celebrate the anniversary of a person's birth. According to the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records, "Happy Birthday to You" is the most recognized song in the English language, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and "Auld Lang Syne". The song's base lyrics have been translated into at least 18 languages.
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.Patty was a kindergarten principal in Louisville, Kentucky, developing various teaching methods at what is now the Little Loomhouse;Mildred was a pianist and composer. The sisters created "Good Morning to All" as a song that would be easy to be sung by young children. The combination of melody and lyrics in "Happy Birthday to You" first appeared in print in 1912, and probably existed even earlier. None of these early appearances included credits or copyright notices. The Summy Company registered for copyright in 1935, crediting authors Preston Ware Orem and Mrs. R.R. Forman. In 1990, Warner Chappell purchased the company owning the copyright for $15 million, with the value of "Happy Birthday" estimated at $5 million. Based on the 1935 copyright registration, Warner claims that the United States copyright will not expire until 2030, and that unauthorized public performances of the song are technically illegal unless royalties are paid to it. In one specific instance on February 2010, these royalties were said to amount to $700.
In the European Union, the copyright of the song will expire on December 31, 2016.
The actual American copyright status of "Happy Birthday to You" began to draw more attention with the passage of the Copyright Term Extension Act in 1998. When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Act in Eldred v. Ashcroft in 2003, Associate Justice Stephen Breyer specifically mentioned "Happy Birthday to You" in his dissenting opinion. An American law professor who heavily researched the song has expressed strong doubts that it is still under copyright.
