Second reply, as the first one failed to satisfy:

Esperanto didn't conquer the world. Why? It can't be sung.
There has never been a smashing pop song in Esperanto.

Apart from the fact that singing does not a language make...people do
sing in Esperanto:

My Magdalenian stood the singing test.

There is no singing test for language.

Now I wait for
Connad or Emungo's people to contact me. In the meantime
I might write a dozen more Magdalenian songs, in order to
fill a CD, as Emungo suggested. May I propose Dido Armstrong
as female singer? Her CD "life for rent" bewitched me, and I
devoted my first Magdalenian song to her. You, John, might
carve some flutes from bones, and wooden drums from suitable
pieces of tree trunks. The flutes can be rather small. A replica
of a Paleolithic flute carved from a swan bone kept in the
archaeological museum of Zug produces amazingly loud and
piercing sounds. The drums can be large. Carve them so that
they produce various "colors" of sound, and are capable of
imitating the varying sounds of a running horse's hooves on
different grounds, CA LAB CA LAB CA LAB CA LAB for the
winter sun horse, CA BEL CA BEL CA BEL CA BEL for the
spring sun horse, CA BAL CA BAL CA BAL CA BAL for the
summer sun horse. We shall then share the royalties. A good
idea?

Sure, I'll bring a magic eagle feather and we can channel our life
energies through some crystals. Should I bring the 'shrooms or do you
have a supply?
