sung to the tune of B-I-N-G-O:
"I know a really long, long word, and 'antidisestablismentarianism' is its name-o!
A-N-T-I-D-I-S-E-S-T-A-B-L-I-S-H-M-E-N-T-A-R-I-A-N-I-S-M,
and antidisestablishmentarianism is its name-o!

...etc"
I have actually sung most of this to my kids, and they find it pretty fun. Most adults I've sung it to think I'm on crack.-- Matty, Apr 08 2003 Pass the pipe.-- snarfyguy, Apr 08 2003 C-R-O-I-S-S-A-N-T.
[Cheers, sir!]-- my face your, Apr 08 2003 The easiest verse is the last one.-- Matty, Apr 08 2003 welcome back Matty.-- po, Apr 08 2003 This is very similar to a song I know called “Floccinauci- nihilipilification”, which is sung to the tune of “Respect” by Aretha Franklin.-- AO, Apr 08 2003 Has anyone managed to sing it all yet? MP3's would be nice :-D-- Parvenu, Apr 08 2003 Now do "Pneumonoultramicro- scopicsilicovolcanicconiosis". +-- Amos Kito, Apr 08 2003 This Song is almost as cool as Tron!-- Nunothegeek, Apr 08 2003 [Nun] did you write the "Pneumo..... above you.
something has gone horribly wrong.-- po, Apr 08 2003 The page view is broken. Whoever annotated before [parvenu] should break up his / her long word.-- snarfyguy, Apr 08 2003 O no.-- phoenix, Apr 08 2003 Oy vey!-- Bowner42, Apr 08 2003 keep yelling for a moderator or Yamahito :)
only kidding - Yama is a breath of fresh blood.-- po, Apr 08 2003 I tried to break up the word. Did it fix anything?-- AO, Apr 08 2003 I think [Amos] may have made the same mistake
Amos fixed it - move along - I got a new job, traffic cop-- po, Apr 08 2003 All better. Thanks [AO].-- snarfyguy, Apr 08 2003 Would this be a good time to mention a song by the Village People? The song was only released in Wales, and the chorus goes: “It’s fun to stay at L L A N F A I R P W L L G W Y N G Y L L G O G E R Y C H W Y R N D R O B W L L L L A N T Y S I L I O G O G O G O C H!”-- AO, Apr 08 2003 ssshhhhhhhh they are all mad in that village sssshhh-- po, Apr 08 2003 I know a stupid idea and "antidisestablismentarianism" is really lame-o.-- waugsqueke, Apr 08 2003 kids like it though.-- po, Apr 08 2003 Yup. It seems that's the measure of a good halfbakery idea these days.-- waugsqueke, Apr 08 2003 this one - is meant for kids.-- po, Apr 08 2003 Thanks for the support, po!
My 4-year old was clapping it the other day, just for fun (the last verse, I guess).-- Matty, Apr 08 2003 Ahhhh - and all this in my first visit to hb! Gracias!-- dohi, Apr 08 2003 Don't mind waugsqueke, Matty. He's one of our many resident curmudgeons. Between annotations I'm sure he's busily yelling at kids to get off his lawn.-- krelnik, Apr 08 2003 Please don't apologize for me. I can handle that quite well, thanks.-- waugsqueke, Apr 08 2003 I can vouch for that. But I haven't seen many trollish *POSTS* from [waugwhatever].
I thought you took letters off from the end, not the beginning.-- 1kester, Apr 08 2003 [1keister] nope. clap out the first letter.
[matty] i applaud your children for sticking around for most of this song. i imagine it can lose its charm somewhere around "ablish" or so... but i like it. +-- urbanmatador, Apr 09 2003 Uh. You're welcome [UB].-- Matty, Apr 09 2003 I actually wrote a song called "Antidisestablishmentarianism" once, and recorded it. Although the lyrics are slightly different. I read somewhere of two anagrams for "antidisestablishmentarianism":
I am an artist and I bless this in me.
His art is in, man! A mind blast! See it?-- Rubi, Dec 08 2003 From the title, I imagined this would be some kind of "bring down the system" cereal. Oh well.-- Detly, Dec 09 2003 I have a recording of a friend of mine singing "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis" to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," as follows:
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis
Even though the sound of it is something that often cause neurosis
If you say it loud enough you'll never suffer chronic halitosis
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis!
