It All Goes Around (but what?)

One of the pleasures of Ann Leckie's Ancillary series is running across the small songs that Breq, the main character, collects. One particularly graceful lullaby that threads its way through the story is It All Goes Around:

My mother said it all goes around
The ship goes around the station,
It all goes around.

My mother said it all goes around
The station goes around the moon,
It all goes around.

My mother said it all goes around
The moon goes around the planet,
It all goes around.

My mother said it all goes around
The planet goes around the sun
It all goes around.

It's clear in the story that the song is a ferocious earworm. Which is why the tune for it that Foz Meadows composed is so perfect. It fits the lyrics beautifully, and sticks in your head. It certainly stuck in the head of Tumblr user @comedrinkwithme, who demonstrated that it's a really good round.

And it stuck in my head this weekend, when I really did want something light and clear in there. It stuck hard enough that I tweeted a version of the song about the song itself:

My mother says it all is a round
The author writes a lullaby
It all is a round.

My mother says it all is a round
A reader makes a tune for it
It all is a round.

My mother says it all is a round
A Tumblr user demonstrates
It all is a round.

My mother says it all is a round
And now that fandom's singing it
It all is around.

Then it started.

There are more; follow the Twitter stream to find them. And Fiona inspired a "teach the cosmological controversy" version:

My mother says, it all goes around
Aetheric orbs surround the world
It all goes around.

My mother says it all goes around
The planetary spheres rotate
It all goes around.

My mother says it all goes around
The stars move with the firmament
It all goes around.

My mother says it all goes around
In heaven, all-encircling,
It all goes around.

So. Who's next?
