a
reference to The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round, a nonsense
song about a
French horn. (A
French horn consists of metallic tubing, ten feet [3.05 meters] in length,
bent into rings which go around and around, and gradually widening towards the end where the
sound comes out.) Written in 1935, the
song was introduced by its creators in a
New York nightclub. In 1943 it was recorded and
released by the then-new
Decca recording
company and was the first
release to be profitable for that
company.
