Happy Birthday

I heard a rumour that Happy Birthday is copy righted and can't be sung on TV due to rights, anyone else aware of this. Certainly a first for me, or is someone pulling my plonker

Unhappy Birthday is a grassroots project run by citizens who are outraged by rampant copyright infringement in today's society — particularly in relation to the song Happy Birthday.

OMG They must be the most miserable people in existence. They even want you to go around with an unhappy birthday t-shirt lmao.

This must be a joke? lol
