Bill D wrote: "World's Longest Song...." Of course, there are many World's Longest Songs. For example, there is "Yon Yonson" (which I think we can safely declare "The World's Longest Scandihoovian Song"): My name is Yon Yonson, I come from Visconsin, I work in the lumber mills there, Ven I valk down the street, Qll the people I meet, say, "Hello, vot's your name?" and I say My name is Yon Yonson.... Or, "You Remind Me of a Man": "You remind me of a man." "What man?" "The man with the power." "What power?" "The power of Hoodoo." "Who do? "You do." "Do what?" "You remind me of...." Maggie Kerr Peirce had one, 'Twas a dark and stormy night, And the rain came down in torrents. The Bugler's Band sat round the fire, And the captain said to Iona, "Iona, tell us a tale...." (and the tale began) 'Twas a dark and stormy night...." One could even include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" here, although that's intended to be a closed loop, not an infinite loop. J. R. R. Tolkien's "Errantry" was set to music, so I suppose we could throw it in, too.
