*Bunny walks into the thread, carrying a paper banner and grinning*
I was told that I'm supposed to wish happy birthday to the board. Unfortunatly the Admin seems to have forgotten what I told her I was going to do. Bunny stares at banner for a moment* Anyways, Here we go!!! *Bunny holds up banner and grins* Isn't it PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Bunny folds up banner and smiles mischievously* Well, time to go. I have plenty more threads to interrupt! More Chaos to cause! *Bunny walks out giggling*
and now, some facts about the Happy Birthday song.
One of the most famous performances of "Happy Birthday to You" was Marilyn Monroe's rendition to U.S. President John F. Kennedy in May 1962.[12]
The Walt Disney Company paid the copyright holder U.S. $5,000 to use the song in the birthday scene of the defunct Epcot attraction Horizons.[citation needed]
The documentary film The Corporation states that Warner/Chappell charges up to U.S. $10,000 for the song to appear in a film. Because of the copyright issue, filmmakers rarely show complete singalongs of "Happy Birthday" in films, either substituting the public-domain "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" or avoiding the song entirely. Before the song was copyrighted it was used freely, as in Bosko's Party, a Warner Brothers cartoon of 1932, where a chorus of animals sings it twice through. The entire song is performed in tribute to the title character of Batman Begins, a Warner Brothers film.
In the 1987 documentary Eyes on the Prize about the US Civil Rights Movement, there was a birthday party scene in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's discouragement began to lift. After its initial release, the film was unavailable for sale or broadcast for many years because of the cost of clearing many copyrights, of which "Happy Birthday to You" was one. Grants in 2005 for copyright clearances[13] have allowed PBS to rebroadcast the film as recently as February 2008.[14]
