How to make a jquery infinite animation?

I'm trying to implement a jQuery function with an infinite loop to animate the body background with 3 colours. I cannot think of a nice and clean solution. Something like this?

$(document).ready(function(){                
     $('body').animate({backgroundColor:'#ffcc00'}, 500, function(){
        $('body').animate({backgroundColor:'#eeeeee'}, 500, function(){
           $('body').animate({backgroundColor:'#3b5998'}, 500);
       });
   });
});

Any idea?

                $('body').animate({backgroundColor:'#3b5998'}, 500, function(){
                    animate();
                });
            });
        });
    }
    animate();
});

You can eliminate the nesting, but the solution is a little fatter:

var cols = "#ffcc00,#eeeeee,#3b5998".split(",")
var cPos = 0

$(document).ready(function() {
   swapC()
}    

function swapC() {
    $('body').animate({ backgroundColor:cols[cPos] }, 500)
    cPos++
    if (cPos == cols.length) {
        cPos = 0
    }
    window.setTimeout(function() { swapC() }, 500)
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    colors = ['#FFB30C', '#58EC00', '#0087EC', '#EEEEEE', '#FF5A00' ]
    var i = 0;
    animate_loop = function() {
            $('body').animate({backgroundColor:colors[(i++)%colors.length]
            }, 500, function(){
                        animate_loop();
            });
    }
    animate_loop();
});
