- SOLD. Happy Birthday to You, the four-line ditty written in
- 1893 by two Louisville teachers as a classroom greeting; by
- Birch Tree Group, Ltd., to Warner Communications (along with
- all other assets) for an estimated $25 million (considerably
- more than a song). Happy Birthday is believed to generate about
- $1 million in royalties annually. With Auld Lang Syne and For
- He's a Jolly Good Fellow, it is among the three most popular
- songs in the English language.
