I want more here.Doesn't anyone think it odd that one of the most widely known songs ever sung has so little known about it? So little discussion about it? So simple, so common, so universally known, so deep within our musical selves, the first thing that pops in our heads when someone asks for an example of a song sung in the round... so meaningful, so true, and this is all we have to say about it?
I am beginning to think that this song was planted by aliens and we were programmed to reject the introspection and research to wonder why.
CONSPIRACY!
