The Matari drinking song 99 Rifters in Pator on stock can be found in the Pator public library together with the midifile that is playing it.
There some lesser famous variants around but the original is dating back at least when the first wing of Rifters met the first wing of Punishers back that ol' days and some say it was on the party after that fight that brought up the song.
A drinking song? with almost 800 bars? Hell, that's a score longer than some crazy 25-minute examples of mindless self-indulgence that I know.
They've gotta be real drunk if they can get all the way to zero. And prod some more.

To be correctly some of the Brutor reach the last bar of the song on their feet. We Sebiestor have our problems to get over bar 50 and the Vherokhior - usually cheat. They call it something smart from financial market business, like options passing, but I call it cheating.
Amarr normally betray their god after verse 25 and Caldari begin to sing songs about Gallente women after verse 30 and give away stocks of their company for free.
I'd never get past verse 15. If I did, I'd probably spend the rest of the week in hospital. I kinda have a pretty low tolerance for alcohol. And that's probably why the Vherokhior cheat, seeing as us Jin-Mei and the Vherokhior seem to share a common ancestry, judging by the common facial features we share.

Normally that's a community drinking ritual. Everybody is drinking a gulp of the bottle and passes it around. You don't drink the whole bottle for each verse.
But to see the whole song printed out for each of the 99 verses is not found too often.
Agreed, that is indeed something worthy of archiving.
And I was indeed thinking of that, except it was a jug and everyone had their own, taking a swig after each verse.
