Are there too many rhetorical questions which have little relevance?

So the guy introduces it, "This is a folk song I wrote on the bus the other day and it's all about the contents of my navel."

Then he sings it.

It goes plop.

Can it become a folk song?

Doubtful.

Anything can be a folk song. Folks have to sing it, though.

Surely a plop song sinks without trace. Which means the answer must be no.

Of course: just do a plop song in the right place and afterwards people will say !folk off"...

When You Come To The End Of A Lollipop
(Max Bygraves?)

Chorus:

When you come to the end of a lollipop,
To the end, to the end of a lollipop,
When you come to the end of a lollipop,
PLOP! goes your heart.

Gilly, oh golly, how I love my lolly,
Right down to the very last lick,
But when you are through with it,
What can you do with it?
All you have left is the stick.

Chorus:

Gilly. oh golly, how I love my lolly,
Summer and winter and spring,
But when it is done,
It's about as much fun
As a yo-yo without any string.

As recorded by our very own Seamus Kennedy ;)

By a plop song, do you mean something along the lines of "The Strain" by the Bonzo Dog Band or "Constipation Blues" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins?

Some plop songs have floating verses and can be difficult to deal with.
