Big Trouble in Little Belgium

After the cold open, two facts given by Ike are true while everyone claims they are false. This is the first time that Ike's facts are actually true.

When Terry is learning the bagpipes in his office, he's using a book entitled "Public Domain Songs For The Bagpipes". The first song listed on the cover is Happy Birthday. However, Happy Birthday isn't Public Domain, the song is owned be Warner/Chappell Music, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group. Any public performance - such as TV shows and movies - has to pay a licensing fee to use the song.

Warner/Chappell did indeed claim copyright on the song in the US and collected licensing fees for it's use; however, the copyright claim was declared invalid in 2015 and Warner/Chappell agreed to pay back the collected fees. The song is now again in the Public Domain.
