Ever seen a thread reach 1 million views? [View all]

Because the "Pick a song title to play off of the last word of the previous song title" thread is about to do that!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=2048408

It's bonkers! I'm curious to see if it's like an odometer on a car and it will roll back to 000000. Or do the numbers magically reduce in point size to squeeze a 1 in front of them?

Anyway, I never imagined such longevity for the thread when it began in August 2024. There have been a handful of regular contributors and many others who popped in for stretches or even one or two contributions.

Approaching 5,600 posts, there has been some repetition in the choice of songs, of course. But we still get new titles added quite often. That said, the thread has become so big and unwieldly (especially with all the YouTube music videos embedded from the earliest posts) that it's slow to load for some DUers. Regardless, we've had a lot of fun.

I'm going to be so bold as to attempt to thank everyone who has participated (apologies to anyone I might have missed -- if I did, please pipe up in the comments below):
