"Happy Birthday To You" is the most recognizable English-language song in the world."
According to Guinness World Records, "Happy Birthday" takes the top spot as the most recognizable song in English, just ahead of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." The song dates back to 1893, when its melody was written by sisters Patty and Mildred Hill, originally to the lyrics "Good Morning to All." The sisters were not initially credited with inventing the song, and its disputed copyright now (probably) resides with Time-Warner, but the Hills were posthumously inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.
