71? hrs after they started, and it's still going round my brain. Little bit of respite last night as it did fade into the background watching some totally unrelated programmes, but oh my goodness.

Hopefully I'll have recovered enough by tomorrow to try listening to other music if it's still there.

You were all amazing, such troopers. How you got through that final hour and a bit I can't even imagine! Absolutely phenomenal, I hope you're all able to have at least a weekend of proper rest.

Oh now it's morphed into 'Highway to the danger zone' but just that line, over and over, because I don't even know if that's a real song or not.

My brain's having its own too-long-athon, woke up at 9am yesterday with it in my head and it's now gone 6am. Not 24hrs but not far off.

Need to sleeeep.

25hrs, in the end.

Their call time was 11 … I know this is the nature of live TV, but literally going round in circles *on top of* the extra hour is just awful to do to them.

I forget how it felt to be tired/exhausted in a healthy body but I am so in awe of all of them. Not just for still functioning, but their character whilst exhausted beyond exhaustion - polite, still have their sense of humour, not an iota of tetchiness. Good eggs all round.

Questionable choice to keep up with the #HowLongAthon on the train*, having to stifle my giggles at Henry and Chess-ham 😄

*240p on mobile internet, train wifi does not allow streaming

I also woke up with it going round and round!

Turns out I am still awake late enough to see The Watson Section, after all!

#HowLongAthon

I never ever thought I would think Mr Blobby was cute, but sitting there as an audience for them (and entertaining them), that IS sweet!

Oh I am also that kind of person - but not for all songs, and not this one 🙈. And playing/singing it as an ensemble gets it much more embedded than listening.

(I'm relieved they're mixing it up and having fun - of course they would, I just didn't have the imagination to work out how - but still!)

I twigged a bit but didn't realise what specifically it would be!

I wonder how many weeks it'll take to get it out of their heads and fingers - would drive me absolutely insane if I were playing 😱

That's exactly the kind of time I would normally be around to watch! Unfortunately I'm going to try to go there in person tomorrow so I do need to sleep tonight 🤦

I will probably be dreaming about cheering you all on though, if that's any help 😅

I want it to be that but I don't want to *see* that.

Or putting on extra layers the whole time.

Or! Putting them on for one hour, taking them back off for another hour, and repeat.

Per the magazine article (final pic on the listing), they did it all themselves!
