GILMORE Radio Circus: Longest Song in the World Book
"The Gilmore Circus" was a 1930s radio program sponsored by the Gilmore Oil Company.
Part of the show featured "The Longest Song In The World" where each week, radio listeners submitted new verses for the song and winners received $5.00 in Gilmore gasoline coupons. Monthly winners received $100.00.
Soon, the song was hundreds of verses long! (Rumor is, it takes 84 years to play!)
