*** Is this (Limbo) the same thing as "Purgatory"? ****

No.
I'm a little rusty so this may not be technically exact..

• Limbo and Purgatory are different places.
  
• Limbo is where a baby would go. It hasn't committed any sins and only has Original Sin (darn you Adam and Eve!).
  
• Purgatory is where you go for 'minor' Sins, like fibbing or swearing.
  
• You can get out of Purgatory eventually, after your penance is complete.
• One is stuck in Limbo forever. Until the 'End of Time'.

That's how I recall it from Catechism.

So they spend eternity hearing that stupid song and taking turns trying to "walk" under the pole?

That sounds almost as bad as hell!
