(repeat ad infinitum) }}

 

A song in which the lyrics are repeated time and time again. They fall under any of the following tropes (and probably [[Broken Record]]):

 

* [[Second Verse Curse]]

* [[Chorus-Only Song]]

 

* [[Koyaanisqatsi]]! [[Koyaanisqatsi]]!

** Parodied in [[PDQ Bach]]'s "Prelude to Einstein on the Fritz": "Koy-hotsy-totsy..."

* The duet "Woe" from [[PDQ Bach]]'s "half-act opera" ''The Stoned Guest''.

 

* [[Queens of the Stone Age]]'s "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" has one line of lyrics that are repeated ad-infinitum throughout the whole song, with no real chorus. ("Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol...c-c-c-c-c-cocaine"

* I AM HENRY THE EIGHTH I AM, HENRY THE EIGHTH I AM I AM, I GOT MARRIED TO THE WIDOW NEXT DOOR, SHE'S BEEN MARRIED SEVEN TIMES BEFORE, AND EVERY ONE WAS A HENRY, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE A WILLY OR A SAM, I'M HER EIGHTH OLD MAN I'M HENRY, HENRY THE EIGHTH I AM.

* "The funk phenomena, the funk phenomena, the funk phenomena, the funk phenomena, the funk phenomena" ad nauseam (Armand Van Helden)

* "A Better Class of Criminal" by Electric Valentine, which has a [[Non-Appearing Title]].

* "A/B Machines" by Sleigh Bells has the single line "got my a machines on the table, got my b machines in the drawer" repeated throughout it's 3 and a half minute runtime.

[[Ear Worm|and they'll continue singing it forever just because...]] }}

* John Mayer's song "Say" repeats the phrase "say what you need to say" many times.

* [[The Police]]'s song "Message in a Bottle" repeats the phrase "sending out an SOS" many times.

* DRI's "Reaganomics" is 42 seconds of "Reaganomics killing me, Reaganomics killing me, Reaganomics killing me, Reaganomics killing you!" being repeated.

* ''Right about now, the funk soul brother/check it out now, the funk soul brother/right about now, the funk soul brother/check it out now, the funk soul brother''

* "Dicks Are For My Friends" by [[Mindless Self Indulgence]].

* In the play ''Vanities'' by Jack Heifner, Joanne offers to "teach the kids the words to 'Hold That Tiger'," which is not such a good idea because the words are just "Hold That Tiger!" repeated over and over again.

 

* When The Saints Go Marching In

* The Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling On (MK dub and subsequent remixes): "-Er/ And their lives again -er / And their li- to pull us -er" ad nauseam. One hell of an [[Ear Worm]].

* ''Paradise'' by [[Coldplay]].

 

* A LOT of Church choruses.

* "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves; yes, on everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes... I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves; yes, on everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes... I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves; yes, on everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes...." And it can go on for as long as you like.

** Or until the driver pulls the vehicle over and threatens to put everyone out on the side of the road.

 

* "I Don't Wanna Wait" by [[The Veronicas]]: It starts just the way it finishes and you could loop it easily.

* "The Bear Went Over the Mountain:"

And what do you think he did? }}
