I know there's a Cyrillic word in its own language which is really long, and is palindromic. But I can't remember what it is. I'll try and dig it out sometime.

Due to the adding of a column every time you drop zeroes in a sum of form:

nn * nn = nmn
nnn * nnn = nmlmn

Numbers in which n represents the digit 1 are always palindromic.

111 * 111 = 12321
1111 * 1111 = 1234321

I always considered that to be a bit of an oddness when I was younger.

Here are the lyrics to the song "Bob" by Weird Al from his album "Poodle Hat".

I, man, am regal - a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see God?
"Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi," I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog
