The tune of “Happy Birthday to You” originated from which 19th century song?
The tune of “Happy Birthday to You” originated from the 19th-century song “Good Morning to All.”
The melody was written by sisters Mildred and Patty J. Hill and was originally intended to be a simple, easy-to-sing greeting song for their kindergarten students. The lyrics of the original song were: “Good morning to all, Good morning to all, Good morning, dear children, Good morning to all.” The “Happy Birthday” lyrics were added to the tune later and eventually became the version we know and sing today.
