Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday.

When’s the last time you heard the “Happy Birthday” song on TV, a movie, or even on the radio? Well it’s the most popular song in the english language and it’s scarcely used in the media. Why? cause it costs lots of money to use! In 1935 the song was copyrighted, and I know some of you are saying “well copyrights expire”. But in the US it won’t expire till 2030, what a bummer. Well at least we still might see the freely used happy birthday song in our lifetime but in the mean time here’s a mash-up of songs people have made up to get around the Happy song.
