This information is already in Marilyn Monroe, isn't it?

No, it just mentions she sang. Staxringold 18:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Deleted one of the references, as it no longer exists (dead link). SausMeester, 9:01, 13 february 2006.

Grammar Nazi here, the format of 'substituting *original*' should be followed by the preposition 'with' *not* 'for'. Example: 'substituting Mr. President with Mr. fill-in-the-blank.' Reverse the order of presentation and you can use 'for'. Example: 'substituting Mr. fill-in-the-blank for Mr. President.' That is all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.92.68 (talk) 05:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday lyrics – possible copyright infringement?

Isn't publishing the lyrics of Happy Birthday in the article a copyright infringement?

It is notable to remark that Wikipedia's Happy Birthday to You article does not contain the lyrics of this song for this reason (or perhaps to subtlely point out the absurdity of copyright as it is today) Instead it notes:

The lyrics to "Happy Birthday to You" can be found on the purported copyright owner's website.[1]

I think this article should do the same. — Adhemar 21:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
