Wtf are you talking about? There’s only one birthday song.
The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.
Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”
Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”
Except it is not copyrighted anynore
From Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You
The music and lyrics are in the public domain in the European Union and the United States. The copyright expired in the European Union on January 1, 2017. A U.S. federal court ruled in 2016 that Warner and Chappell’s copyright claim was invalid and there was no other claim to copyright.
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
There’s only one brithday song and it goes like this: Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard
There’s also “This is your birthday song. It isn’t very long. Hey!”
There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.
“haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”
There’s also the “It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday!” chant that people do. Not The Birthday Song, but a birthday song (sort of).
