Yon Yonson
"Yon Yonson" is an infinitely recursive poem, nursery rhyme or song, perhaps best known from the novel ''Slaughterhouse-Five'' by Kurt Vonnegut, although Vonnegut did not create it.
== Origins of the song ==
The song is often sung in a Scandinavian accent (e.g. ''j'' pronounced as ''y'', ''w'' pronounced as ''v''). This accent is revealed by the name "Yon Yonson," which when recited in American English is usually rendered "Jan Jansen" or "John Johnson." The Swedish pronunciation "Yon Yonson" probably dates the origin of the song to soon after the Swedes' arrival in the United States.〔()|Wisconsin in History〕
A possible origin of the song is the dialect stage comedy ''Yon Yonson'' by Gus Heege and W. D. Coxey (1890).〔Anne-Charlotte Harvey, "Swedish Theater", in Philip J. Anderson & Dag Blanck, eds., ''Swedes in the Twin Cities: Immigrant Life and Minnesota's Urban Frontier'' (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2001), ISBN 978-0873513999, pp. 156ff. (Excerpts available ) at Google Books.〕〔Landis K. Magnuson, "Ole Olson and Companions as Others: Swedish-Dialect Characters and the Question of Scandinavian Acculturation", in Rhona Justice-Malloy, ed., ''Theatre History Studies 2008'' (University of Alabama Press, 2008), ISBN 978-0817355029, pp. 75ff. (Excerpts available ) at Google Books.〕 The play's setting included a Minnesota lumber camp. However, no evidence shows that the song was actually performed as part of the play.
