Do you know that the "Happy Birthday to You" song is the first song sung in outer space? Apollo IX astronauts 36sang it on March 8, 1969. It is one of the most popular English songs of all time. Here's the story behind it.
The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the 37title of "Good Morning to All" in 1893. It was used 38as a classroom greeting. Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom.
The composer, Mildred Smith Hill, was 39a concert pianist. Her sister, Patty Smith Hill wrote the original（最初的）lyrics for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville, Kentucky, where Mildred also 40worked.
The Hill sisters copyrighted（取得版权）their song on October 16, 1893. However, 41it appeared without their agreement in Robert H. Coleman's songbook on March 4, 1924. Coleman changed part of the lyrics to say, "Happy Birthday to You", 42although the song still had its original title. The song was then published several times over the next ten years, often with small changes in the lyrics. In 1934, when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical, 43another Hill sister, Jessica, went to court（法院）over the copyright problem of the song. She was 44angry with the theft of the song and failure to pay her sisters. She 45won her case. The Hill family owned the rights to the melody and had to be paid every time the song was part of a commercial（商业的）production.
The Hill sisters, who devoted their lives to educating children, could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about 2 million every year.
