<P> The song has been adopted as an unofficial anthem by disparate groups . The Discordian organization (or disorganization) known as POEE has listed the song in their material with claims that it was written by a member, while fans of the rock band Styx adopted a variation, "The Tour That Never Ends", to describe Styx's 400 - plus date tour in the late 1990s in support of their album Brave New World . </P> <P> It was also the subject of a single strip in Dave Kellett's Sheldon webcomic . </P> <P> A series of Canadian Motrin pain killer ads featured kids singing the song in the back of a car, during a traffic jam, while eating chocolate - covered coffee beans . </P> <P> In the Smart Guy episode "Love Bug", Mo and Yvette (Omar Gooding and Essence Atkins) perform "The Song That Never Ends" variant in order to annoy a fellow contestant to see if he will exit the car they are supposed to stay in for an entire weekend in order to win it . The two eventually (and suddenly) stop singing, driving the man crazy as to whether they will start singing the song once again, leading to him escaping the car and automatically eliminating himself from the contest . </P>

This is the song that never ends by lamb chop
