    Sequence is potentially cyclic. #1 Billboard hit 1969. Last "2525"
    added because first verse repeats at the end. Note that it also begins
    to transition into the second verse again after this in some editions,
    causing "3535" to be faintly audible. The lyrics of the song also imply
    the sequence is theoretically cyclic and recurring, with the final 2525
    being the beginning of the second iteration.
