Talk:The Song That Doesn't End

message: It is against Wikipedia policy to include copyrighted lyrics of a song in any article. Can anyone confirm that the two sets of lyrics (in particular the one used for the Shari Lewis TV show) are public domain? If not, they may need to be removed. 23skidoo 15:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Of course not. At the risk of violating the assumption of good faith, I will say that it seems clear to me that the high number of extra variants are taking the piss on the fact that the song is infinitely repeatable. Jaimeastorga2000 (talk) 02:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Am I crazy, or is the 'Here we go around the Mulberry Bush' and 'I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves' completely different in terms of tune? Excise (talk) 23:24, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking that as I read.  They are different tunes. It might be more similiar to "I've got a lov-e-ly bunch of coconuts ", but I'm not sure--Zfish118 (talk) 21:35, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Get on your nerves, get on your nerves.
I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
And it goes like this..."

thread_title:  Another variation 

message: It looks like the previous discussion about the name change was nearly six years ago (15th of March 2008).  Now that I've created the article to the actual album; I'd like to bust some misconceptions.
To begin:
*The Song That Doesn't End was written by an author called Norman L. Martin  in 1988.
*This song is in NO WAY related to any of the other songs in this article.  Those songs are also NOT notable.
*The content in this article is for the most part; laughable.  I don't mean that in a good way.  It looks like a disaster.  Wikipedia is NOT a book of riddles; it is an information encyclopedia.
*When I came to edit here, no reliable sources had been given.
*Whatever you think about how the song goes does not matter, just because the song "sounds" better with other lyrics, or just because people might sing it differently (intensified by the fact that Wikipedia has had inaccurate information about this song since 2006!) does not mean a thing.  The information is not true, and should be fixed.
*I did my part, the page needs to be renamed.
More information about the song, can be found here:
*Lamb Chop's Sing-Along, Play-Along
*Allmusic's entry for this album
*Discogs' entry for this album
*Listen to the entire album in Grooveshark
Let's have a chat about this please, thanks.  --Molokaicreeper (talk) 02:23, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Wrong Norman Martin

message: I am a childless 68 year old who  never saw Lamb Chop's Play Along.  I only watched Shari Lewis on The Shari Lewis Show when I was a child living in the suburbs of NYC.  I've known the song since around 1960 and even thinking about it always beings a smile.  I idly googled it recently to see if Shari wrote it alone or had a collaborator.  (She was so multi-talented it's sometimes hard to believe that she created so many different aspects of the show.) The reference on the recording must have referred to an updated, more complicated arrangement with additional musicians and perhaps other voices.  In 1988 I was 40 years old and I most certainly did not first hear it then. Just shows how little documentation there was for early local TV.  For instance, try to find the kinescopes of that show.  If they once existed, they almost certainly are gone now.  HoiPoloi (talk) 23:46, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  This could not have been written in 1988. 

message: The title of this article is incorrect. Anyone can Google and YouTube the actual song, and see and hear the actual song from the original show.
The lyrics are continuously updated to incorrect lyrics saying the song that never ends. 
It is the SONG THAT DOESN’T END!!!
Watch a minute of the show and stop changing it to something that is incorrect! If this website ever wants to be a reputable source of information, the users need to have an ounce of intelligence and be able to source the material. Kplummer08 (talk) 08:35, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
