Oldest Song in the World

Century, all princes of the blood had a whipping boy. That is, a boy who was brought up with the young prince, and who was spanked every time the prince misbehaved, believe it or not. In a moment I'll tell you where they sing the oldest song in the world.

The shadoop is the water-raising device, operating on the principle of the water sweep. It's been used for irrigation purposes in the Nile Valley for at least 5,000 years. The work of the shadoop has always been, and still is, accompanied by a song which has never changed in 50th century. It's sung by the farmers along the banks of the Nile in Egypt,

making the shadoo easily the oldest song known to man, believe it or not.
