Ah! I've Got My Mind Set On You!

Done over by Weird Al Yankovic as This Sing Is Just Six Words Long!

Nope- there's an even MORE repetitive song! It's by Laibach, it's called Die Liebe.

The words:

Ein schauspieler!
Die liebe ist die groesste kraft!
Die alles, die alles schafft!

Die liebe, die liebe, die alles schafft!
Die liebe, die liebe, die alles schafft!
Die alles schafft, die groesste kraft, die liebe!
Die liebe!
Die liebe, die alles schafft! Die groesste, die groesste kraft!
Die liebe, die alles schafft!
Die alles schafft, die groesste kraft, die liebe! Die liebe!
Die liebe!
Die liebe!
Die liebe!
etc....<G>

The most repetative song has to be 'Poing!' - by 'Rotterdam Termination
Source'. Ugh...all that song does is go 'poing' all the way through with the
most boring drums....!

This is nothing. I have a son who is crazy about Sheri Lewis... she has a
delightful song that is like a virus:

This is a song that doesn't end
It carries on and on my friend.
Some people started singing it
not knowing what it was,
and they'll just keep on singing it
forever just because...
(repeat endlessly)

Now, those lyrics aren't IN THEMSELVES repetetive, but you cannot get the
song out of your mind, so it really is a song that doesn't end...

I don't know if this counts or not, but on Lamb Chop's show (You know,
Sheri Lewis who looks about 300 years old), there's a song called, "Song
that never ends":

"This is the song that never ends
Yes, it goes on and on, my friend
Some people started singing it--
Not knowing what it was, but
They'll continue singing it forever just because..."

<repeat>

You can go on and on and on and on with this song. I tried it once for
about 15 minutes stuck in traffic. Mind-numbing, entertaining and passes
the time, just like TV talk shows. ;)

Just a contribution,

Well, repetitive is somewhat relative. I mean, "Hey Jude" by the
beatles has lyrics and verses, but five minutes of the song is "Na, na na
na etc." The same with Donovan's Atlantis, except I think that is just
slightly more reptitive. I'll also put John Cougar Mellancamp's "Small
Town," up there also.

I know an even better song!
It is sung to the tune of Glory, Glory Hallauah (sp?)
We use to sing it when I was in Girl Scouts!
Here goes:

I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves.
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves.
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves.
And this is how it goes!

<repeat>

This can go on forever as you can tell! It is pretty much the same
concept as "This is the song that never ends" but it is even more annoying
as you can imagine when there are about 30 little girls singing it
on a trip that lasts several hours!

That's a fantastic song to annoy someone with; that and the song Patrick
Swayze sings to Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost, something about "I am 'Enry
the Eighth I am, 'Enry the Eighth I am I am, I got married to the widow
next door, She's been married ten times before..."
and it goes on repeating and repeating and ....

That song would be Henry The Eighth by Herman's Hermits. By the way "She
was married seven times before..."

Most repetitve song Bill Withers Ain't no Sunshine
He sings "I know I know I know I know" about 80 times

anyways if the word man came from the word human,
then actually woman should be called hu-woman

It doesn't repeat at all!!!

"I'm 'Enery the Eighth I am, 'Enry the Eighth I am I am,


I got married to the widow next door,

She's been married seven times before..."
"everyone was a 'Enery
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam
I'm 'er eighth old man called 'Enery
'enery the eighth I am.

It's an old cockney song


Now if you're looking for repetitive songs what about the old skiffle
song by Lonnie Donegan "Cumberland Gap"

How about:

"This is not a love song" by Public Image Limited
"No Limits" by 2 Unlimited
or
"Oh Superman" by Laurie Anderson.

NB. Just because they're repetitive doesn't mean they're not any good. All
songs consists of repeated notes, after all.

OK, how 'bout "I got my heart set on you" I don't know who it's by, but Weird
Al does a parody: "This song's just six words long"

The song is by the former Beatle George Harrison. I would love to know what
Al's parody of this song is like. :) Any pointer?

I still think the Rotterdam Termination Source's 'song' Poing! is the most
bland, borimg, repetitive song I have ever heard and I can't believe such
piss was ever allowed to be released into the charts!
Oh, and so is Whigfield's 'Saturday Night' (and that silly dance some
people insist on doing!!!).

Ruby Soho isn't that repetitive! Maybe the chorus says the same thing,
but the song has a lot more to it. But I have to agree about Peaches....
it's a cool song but it gets annoying after a while...

What about Boney M's "Calender Song" The lyrics is just the names of
the months repeated over and over, I have no idea how many times since
it is probably 10-15 years since i last heard it.
