The song has only been sung once, en canon around the world by different people. It is still in progress and will indeed never end.

The singer may have changed but the song will never end.

It is very possible the song will someday be forgotten and never be sung again

Even so, it was transmitted electronically out into the universe.
The ripples of the song will not fade until the universe does.

It’s like Eucharistic adoration- somewhere someone is keeping it going.

Lionel Hutz has a case against them in the courts, IIRC.

When one person stops singing, the curse is passed to someone else, somewhere else in the world.
We just won’t realize until after the nuclear war, when there’s two people left, passing the song back and forth until they are finally, mercifully taken by the radiation poisoning.

It’s like clapping. It hasn’t stopped. It’s just the time between stanzas has been increasing.
