I actually remembered where else I heard this. There was an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where they sing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" to Worf on his birthday. In one of the episode guides, they mention that "Happy Birthday to You" was just way too expensive. And that was for a long-running show!
: : : Does someone own the rights to "Happy Birthday to you" or was Kevin joking (Episode 2)
: : He was NOT joking. I have heard that elsewhere as well - whoever owns the rights to that song charges a fortune for it. Sounds funny, though, doesn't it?
