Not sure I can speak to the specific songs, but, have you ever taken a couple mirrors and positioned them so they have that “endless” sort of tunnel look with a juxtaposition that approaches infinity?
I tried to find an example, but the one that I could find that shows it best I have to link to because it’s copyrighted:

I think, the song within a song thing is kind of like that. Either that, or those Russian nesting dolls.
Glad I could clear that up for you!

Well, exactly. “And you can tell everybody this is your song”. What is she (or he, since the author is Elton John) going to tell everybody is his song? Well, he can tell everybody that “You can tell everybody this is your song”. Everybody will be real confused, me thinks.
What happened to #310?
Have you ever had the misfortune to attend a Barry Manilow recital? I haven’t either, but I can imagine an audience singalong during one of those historic events - 10,000 people singing along with Barry: “I write the songs, I write the songs”. 10,000 people writing the songs, writing the songs. Fun!
