The Origin of the Song "Happy Birthday to You"
If there is one song that we all know it has to be the classic "Happy Birthday to You" song. We sing it each year and it has been translated into various languages making it a universal song. Here is a brief history of how this song came about.
The melody (旋律) and lyrics (歌词) were written by two sisters—Mildred J. Hill (born in 1859) and Patty Smith Hill (born in 1868). Patty was a schoolteacher who developed the " Patty Hill blocks" and was a faculty member (教职工) at Columbia University Teachers College. Mildred was also an educator who later on became a composer, organist(风琴手) and pianist. The melody was composed by Mildred and the lyrics were written by Patty, but it was originally for a classroom greeting song titled "Good Morning to All". The song "Good Morning to All" was part of the book Song Stories for the Kindergarten which the sisters co-wrote and published in 1893.
From then on, the lyrics were changed from its original form to " Good Morning to You" and then to " Happy Birthday to You". It is still unclear who changed the lyrics and turned it into a birthday song, but it was first published in 1924 on a book edited by Robert H. Coleman. Since then, the song became popular.
In 1934, Jessica Hill, another Hill sister, filed a lawsuit because of the unauthorized(未经授权 的) use of the " Happy Birthday to You" melody which clearly resembles the melody of " Good Morning to All". In 1935, Jessica, who was working with publisher Clayton F. Summy Company, copyrighted and published "Happy Birthday to You".
In the 1930s the Clayton F. Summy Company was bought by John F. Sengstack and renamed it Birch Tree Ltd. In 1998, Birch Tree Ltd was in turn bought by Warner Chappell for $25 million. The company is now known as Summy-Birchard Music. It is reported that the birthday song earns $2 million a year in royalties (版税) with half going to Summy-Birchard and the other half to the Hill Foundation.
The song "Happy Birthday to You" is well known to people all over the world.

解析
本文讲述了《祝你生日快乐》这首歌的由来。题干要求判断《祝你生日快乐》这首歌是否在世界范围内众所周知。根据文中第一段第一句话“If there is one song that we all know it has to be the classic ‘Happy Birthday to You ’song”,意思是“如果有一首歌是所有人都知道的,这首歌一定是经典的《祝你生日快乐》歌”。所以题干是正确的。
