Songs that repeat lines over and over and over...

Rapper on Saturday Night live. He came out and according to my puzzled search afterward, was trying to coin a "brilliant" new catch phrase to define his new image. As I recall he labeled himself a player. He kept saying over and over "I'm the P", and other variations of being a P. I guess he ran that concept by his entourage and no one contradicted the concept. Worst repetitive lyric that I've encountered. Sad.

I'm thinking this is a major first-world problem

The Dartells, "Hot Pastrami", Yeah ! - 27 times ! (Dave Newman on the Fender Bass)

... not to be confused with their other chart-topper, "Fried Bologna," which had a similar beat and lyrics ...

Hi.

he wrote this opus in 15 minutes and it contains a grand total of 19 words.

This just reminded me of something. I vaguely recall that about 20 years ago (yikes) I read an old review of some Led Zeppelin album, and the reviewer wondered just how many times Robert Plant could squeeze ‘baby’ into a song.

So, I deliberately wrote a song filled with ‘baby.’ The only thing I remember about it now is that it had 18 instances of ‘baby’ scattered through it.

“I Love a Rainy Night“ by Eddie Rabbit! “I Love a Rainy Night” is repeated over 30 times if I remember correctly. A band mate of mine counted them once long ago when it was a hit for Eddie Rabbit.

John Wayne uttered the word "pilgrim" 21 times in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" co-starring Jimmy Stewart. I'd love to name a band PILGRIM 21.

What a great movie. Good call Pilgrim.

One verse repeated throughout entire song. And it works great here.

Some people hate this song. I think it’s wonderful.

There are some songs, where a usually typical, hackneyed and clichéd sentiment is plainly expressed, that just carry an emotional truth. They transcend the corny.

I like Phil Collins and his era of leading Genesis. Good singer, great drummer, defined a decade due to “his sound” on drums (which can be annoying, but he has to be given credit/blame).

But dang it if he doesn’t repeat a line over and over and over and over—especially on his solo stuff.

I mean, he was rich enough to buy some more lyrics…that outro could drive Ghandi to advocate violence.
