Tom Brownsword posted this to Facebook, and I hadn't seen it. It cracked me up, so I thought I'd share here.

      A PALINDROME!!!

      Believe it or not, I just made that up when I saw the funny video in which all of the lyrics are palindromes. Okay, it would be hard to believe I didn't just make it up.

      (For the record, I never said the punchline would be funny, especially as it hinges on knowing words like hippodrome and velodrome.)

      Anyway, thanks for the video John. It's funny on so many different levels.

      All the best,
      Michael

          -drome is a suffix that means "arena or race course".

          A hippodrome is used by horses, and a velodrome is used by bicycles.

          Why do I know this stuff? I have no idea.
