Yon Yonson - Bücher neu kaufen

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yon Yonson is an infinitely recursive poem or nursery rhyme, perhaps best known from the novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, although Vonnegut did not originally write it. It consists of the phrase "My name is Yon Yonson, I come from Wisconsin. I work in a lumber yard there. Everyone that I meet when I walk down the street, says "Hello! What's your name?" And I say: My name is Yon Yonson, I come from Wisconsin..." repeated again and again. Often sung with a pseudo-Swedish accent (e.g. j pronounced as y, w pronounced as v). This Swedish accent is revealed by the name 'Yon Yonson' which, translated into modern English, is the equivalent of 'John Johnson'. This dates the origin of the song to the Swedes' arrival in the New World. The Canadian band The Dave Howard Singers released an industrial/punk version of "Yon Yonson" in 1987.
