Does anyone know where I can find "Happy Birthday" in .wav format?
Sorry if this is off-topic.
Thanks.

Yes, I have tried this. Amazingly, none of them seem to link to a wav file!
Lots of people asking in Google Groups too, but no joy.

Google searches have been posted for you. I only had to click 3 times to
find a page offering the download. I suggest you follow the google searches
a little better. Not every match will be a wav file. In fact, none will. You
will have to manually start the download.

It's a copyrighted song, so legally, you have to pay for it.

Shouldn't be. H-B as we know, was composed by 2 ladies in NY in about 1900.
They ran a creche and they composed a song to welcome their children:
Good morning to you.
Good morning to you.
God morning dear children... etc.
It got changed soon after to H-B!

Yes, but this one you have to register and pay for. It's not copyrighted.
You would think it would be easy to find, but it isn't. This is why I asked
in the group. I checked Google for quite a while first.

Anybody hosting "Happy Birthday" could be breaking copyright, and could
risk whatever penalties their hosts have.

Well, I didn't know that!

it come into public domain within the last couple of years?

Actually, hold that thought:
Perhaps it is just the words and not the music which is copyrighted:

Possibly, as, if someone plays it on a piano and records it, I would have
