The traditional "Happy Birthday" song is actually copyrighted, owned by Time-Warner, and they consider singing it on this site to be a "public performance" that requires paying a royalty.

And so, I offer my all-new copyright-free Happy Birthday song. Have fun with it; it's my gift to the world.

On the advice of council, I hereby give this song to the public domain. Good luck with it.

    I hope beyond hope someone from Cracker Barrel Old Country Restaurants watched your video.

    I am sitting at my table relaxed enjoying my meal when all of a sudden all the waters and waitresses gather around a table beside me and start singing "Happy Birthday".

    They being a company listed on the exchange probably have an agreement with TIME, although they do sing it slightly different.

    If you think the copyright laws are tough check out the power of Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI).

    If you sung the song in a video where you also discussed the copyright claims on it by Time Warner wouldn't that constitute fair use?
