Dear Diary and Friends,
Last January 25, I posted a diary entitled," The Song Of Love And Harmony." And I requested you dear readers to share some songs that you know and is popularly known Universally which both young and adults knows or even the small children can hum or sing. And the only person who have come up with correct song is no other than the great reviewer of MS, Paulsb02. Although he mentioned only two, but its also included in the list that I have searched. All the rest, you have wonderfully shared the good music but, its popularly known only some few years back and not most children may have heard of it or can sing it. Except the latest which is Jaiho, that even little ones can sing just the word Jaiho.
Congratulations Paulsb02

Trivia about the songs:
1.Happy Birthday- was first publicized and copyrighted in 1935 by a Chicago based music publisher, Clayton F.Summy Company, working with Jessica Hill. Jessica Hill is the 3rd sisters of the Hills, Mildred and Patty. Mildred became a composer, pianist, organist and musical scholar while her sister is a faculty of Teachers College of Columbia for 30 years. One day in 1833, Mildred Hills, while teaching in Louisville Experimental Kindergarten School, she came up with the modest melody we now know as "Happy Birthday." Her sister Patty Hills added some simple lyrics which was a major creation of "Good Morning To All" a simple greeting song of teachers to welcome their students or vice versa, until it became popular in some occasions.
But the song Happy Birthday, nobody really knows who wrote the words but the melody was patterned on the Hills sister's song, of Good morning to you. Jessica Hill claimed the copyright of the melody of Happy Birthday To You, but unfortunately her sister died already to benefits the copyright protection rights law. Both Hill's sisters died unmarried and childless, but the Hill Foundation's royalty shares, presumably been given to the charity and their nephew.
- Jingle bells- James Lord Pierpont,composed this song in 1850, inspired by the town's popular sleigh races during those times. Twas originally copyrighted with the title, "One Horse Open Sleigh" on September 16,1857. Then it was reprinted again in 1859 with the revised title already of "Jingle Bells, or the One Horse Open Sleigh". From that time on the song has since passed into public domain. On the side of the building in Medford, Massachusetts, a plaque commemorating the birthplace of Jingle Bells. The song was the first song broadcast from space, in a Christmas on December 16,1965. Jingle Bells is one of the best known and commonly sung secular Christmas songs in the world.
3.SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT- was written by the first parish priest ordained in 1815 to his first parish Maria-pfarr. His name wasJoseph Mohr . The original scripts dated 1816 bears the handwriting of Mohr with such date. But twas discovered late in the year 1995 which lead to the reinterpretation of the Carols origin.The creator of 'Silent Night! HolyNight' was born on December 11. 1792 in Salzburg, in the Steingasse. He died last December 4,1848 in Wagrain. He died poor as how he was born but left for us the world famous Christmas carol,the song,'Silent Night! Holy Night!'
4.Auld Lang Syne" was written by Robert Burns in 1788.Traditionally folk song, sung on New Year's Eve, graduation or even in funerals and as a farewell songs towards the end of the occasions. For Auld Lang Syne is loosely translated as, for the sake of old times or " In the days of Auld Lang Syne" as the equivalent of Once Upon A Time.
