Subject: RE: What makes a song REALLY last?
On the other hand, on one occasion, a bunch of us got going on "What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor?" and once we had exhausted the usual verses, people started making them up. This was fairly easy to do because each verse is only one line repeated, so by the time the rotation gets back to you, you've got one ready to go.

We kept that sucker going for over a half-hour. And the longer we went, the raunchier the verses got!

To bad we didn't get that on tape.

But on second thought, it's probably just as well.
