Happy Birthday was a question on either Qrank or FB millionaire yesterday -- something like, these two sisters wrote what song in 18-something.

Two Kentucky women wrote this song (originally as a song for children to sing in school - "Good Morning to You"). That's why some chain restaurants have their own birthday song, to avoid paying royalties for using HBTY.
