If
one asked you to name the most popular song in English language what will be
your answer? No, you need not to think so far. You post it almost every day in
your friends' Facebook time line. Are you still confused? I am talking about
"Happy birth Day", just three words to wish you best for rest of your
entire life. Happy Birth Day to you or in short Happy Birth day is the most
popular song in English and has the base lyrics in more than 18 language as a
translated form.
The
Lyrics "Happy Birth day" had come in print assisted by its melody
since 1912. But, the critics believe that it is much older in origin. This is
basically a folk song written by Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill. But, if we
delve deep in the song we will get some more interesting information about the
song.
The melody of the song has come from the song "Good Morning to
All" which was introduced Patty's kindergarten class in 1893 by Hill
sisters. The students of Hill sister liked the song and used to sing it in
birth day parties for enjoy the moments. They just changed the lyrics with
happy birth day, maintaining the melody same. Thus the song became famous and
started to spread all over.
But,
if you want sensational story about the song you may refer to the famous performance by Marilyn Monroe's rendition to U.S.
President John F. Kennedy in May 1962. Comedy pianist Victor Borge played the
song in styles of various composer and edited his name in history with the
performance.Sananya Dutta
