NEW YORK (AP) -- Richard and Robert Sherman are the authors of the most-played song on Earth, and for that they would like to apologize to some of you.

The song is "It's a Small World (After All)," the tune that plays on a continual, multilingual loop every few minutes at Disney theme parks across the world -- a fact that Disney employees are only too well aware.

"They must go out of their minds," says Richard Sherman.

"We've driven teenagers crazy in every language," says Robert Sherman.

Probably not. Anytime Disney is about to lose their copyright exclusivity, they just pay Congress for an extension.
