	My father worked at Chuck E. Cheese's for 20+ years. As someone that was there on a regular basis (all the way back to Showbiz Pizza Time), I never saw them include "Happy Birthday to You" in their works. One of the more recent ones I remember is "You're a birthday star at Chuck E. Cheese" (lyric, not title). So I have to ask, is it as common as the current explanation suggests?

-AFAIK The ruling only applies to the lyrics, they still have a valid copyright to the music, so if you sing the song you had better make sure it's to a suitable tune that is out of copyright!

 :As I understood it, the music itself is in the public domain and it's just the specific piano arrangement that was under copyright. Reproductions of the music are free and legal, reproductions of the arrangement is the only thing to watch out for.
