Before you go accusing me of creating the most evil post ever to hit the forum, remember: You saw the subject line. It was your decision to click on the link. It is still your decision to continue reading, or to close your browser before your eyes drift any further along in this post.

I watched about a six-minute segment of Lambchops exactly once, when I was seven-ish years old. That was enough; I meticulously avoided that show forever afterward. Unfortunately, however, it was the /last/ six minutes of the show. So now I know the Lambchops theme by heart.

There are those who accuse me of being a long poster. However, I am not going to type the entire song. I don't have quite that much time to waste. But, if you plug the following code into Microsoft QBASIC (or some compatible BASIC interpreter) and run it, it will output the lyrics to the Lambchops song.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

CONST TRUE = 1
CONST FALSE = 0

DOOMSDAY = FALSE

CLS
PRINT "THE LAMBCHOPS SONG"
PRINT

DO
/ / PRINT "This is the song that never ends,"
/ / PRINT "Yes, it goes on and on, my friend!"
/ / PRINT "Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was;"
/ / PRINT "Now, they'll continue singing it forever, just because:"
LOOP UNTIL DOOMSDAY = TRUE

END

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Any tune you make up that fits the words will probably be right. And if the tune doesn't /quite/ fit the words, that's even better!

Incidentally, if you need to get /this/ song out of your head, my suggestion would be to look up some Monty Python on the Internet. "The Lumberjack Song" doesn't last forever, but it kills Lambchops dead!
