NinetyNineBottlesOfBeerOnTheWall

From DilBert: A bunch of big-brained scientific types are on a bus singing...

"Infinite number of beers on the wall,

infinite number of beers.

You take one down and pass it around...

Infinite number of beers on the wall!"

<repeats ;->

After a while, the bus driver gets sick of it and yells that they'll never to get to zero.

NinetyNineBottlesOfBeerOnTheWallInManyLanguages:

Several pages exist that list programs in incredibly and impressively large numbers of languages that emit the words to the song:

• http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/ (1000)
• http://www.westnet.com/mirrors/99bottles/beer.html (227, possibly with some duplication)

  #define TakeOneDown(n) n--
  for (BottlesOfBeer = 99; BottlesOfBeer > 0; TakeOneDown(BottlesOfBeer))
  {
      PassItAround();
  }

or perhaps

  : BOTTLESOFBEER  100 0 DO 99 I - PASSAROUND LOOP ;

See ForthFlames for a complete implementation. This can even be done in TuringTarpits: see SnuspLanguage.
