Here's some lyrics to "Jimmy" by Boogie Down Productions:

Here is a message to the Super-Hoes
Just keep in mind when Jimmy grows
It grows and grows and grows, so let it
But keep in mind about the epidemic
When Jimmy releases, boy it pleases
But what do you do about all these diseases?
Jimmy is Jimmy, no matter what
So take care of Jimmy cos you know what's up
'cos now in winter AIDS attacks
So run out and get your Jimmy Hats
It costs so little for a pack of three
They're Jimmy Hats for the winter attack

Okay, it was released in 1988, but still...

Of course, while it’s possible in a physics sense, it’s hugely inadvisable in a medical capacity. Assuming a speed of four miles per hour, a person (Proclaimer or otherwise) would cover 96 miles in a 24-hour period, meaning you’d need over five days of solid walking for the first leg to be completed. It’s been suggested that humans can go for over ten days without sleep, but probably not while walking 500 miles (and then 500 more) without food. More work is required in this burgeoning field of research.

Let's face it, any hit song that goes on about doing "it" (or anything, really) "all night long" needs to issue a correction.

I meant if you define "night" as the daily period of ambient darkness, we're talking 8 hours minimum. When was the last time you did anything for 8 straight hours? Even work gives you a lunch break.

Depends on where you live and what time of year it is.

Wonder if it has ever been performed at the Bukta Tromsø Open Air Festival

two months pass...

I just heard "Love Train" by the O'Jays and it contains the lines:

All of you brothers over in Africa
Tell all the folks in Egypt, and Israel, too
