    Since I have been at work this morning, I have heard two consecutive songs that repeat the lyrics over and over again to the point of insanity....

    I have noticed this trend alot recently in music....

    The following are the two songs:

    Say What You Need To Say- John Mayer

    Say What You Need To Say
    Say What You Need To Say
    Say What You Need To Say
    Say What You Need To Say
    Say What You Need To Say
    Say What You Need To Say
    Say What You Need To Say
    Say What You Need To Say


    Then Womanizer by Britney Spears

    Womanizer
    Woman-Womanizer
    You're a womanizer
    Oh Womanizer
    Oh You're a Womanizer Baby
    You, You You Are
    You, You You Are
    Womanizer, Womanizer, Womanizer


    Is it really that hard to develop lyrics that have more substance, than just repeating yourself over and over again? I know that these arent the only other two songs that are like this, but come on.....

    Those f***ing r****ded Rajin Cajun commercials on 1560. I can't even bring myself to typing the thing.

    One of the few commercials that literally makes me immediately change the station.

    Chance? Lance? John? Knock those the f*** off, or you're going to lose a listener.

    That's not my name!
    That's not my name!
    That's not my name!
    That's not my... name!

    I really like most of the songs mentioned so far, but I do see how they can be intolerable to someone else.

    I've never made it past the first 4 or 5 lines of this song, but it's pretty annoying...

    I hate this song for that exact reason. These are the full lyrics:

    Take out of your wasted honor
    Every little past frustration
    Take all your so called problems
    Better put 'em in quotations

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    Walking like a one man army
    Fighting with the shadows in your head
    Living out the same old moment
    Knowing you'd be better off instead

    If you could only

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say


    Have no fear
    For giving in
    Have no fear
    For getting over
    You better know that in the end
    It's better to say too much
    Then never to say what you need to say again

    Even if your hands are shaking
    And your faith is broken
    Even as the eyes are closing
    Do it with a heart wide open... wide...


    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say
    Say what you need to say

    God, I hate that. It's not a new thing though. I've been amazed; playing games like Rock Band, Lips and Karaoke Revolution, etc.; at how many songs from the past do the exact same thing.

    Annoys the hell out of me. :mad:

    Pretty much every Beyonce song. That new one is the worst. I think there are only 2 lines over and over.

    All the single ladies
    If you like, put a ring on it

    Doesn't Mayer do the same thing in Your Body is a Wonderland as well?

    Some bands can pull it off

    *cough* Radiohead *cough*

    Do you remember when we used to sing...

    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
    Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.

    etc...

    Nelly and Tim McGraw's "Over and Over Again" literally repeats over and over again.

    not as bad as some of these others but this chorus is annoying..


    So keep your love locked down
    your love locked down
    Keepin' your love locked down
    your love locked down
    I keep your love locked down
    your love locked down
    I keep your love locked down
    you lose

    (2 more times in the song)

    Saved by zero!

    I think you know me better than that. I actually think that song is too short, if you can believe that...

    Frankly, if the music is good, I don't really care about the lyrics. I don't see anyone complaining about this next song's lyrics:

    Oye como va mi ritmo
    Bueno pa' gozar, mulata

    Oye como va mi ritmo
    Bueno pa' gozar mulata

    Oye como va mi ritmo
    Bueno pa' gozar, mulata

    Oye como va mi ritmo
    Bueno pa' gozar mulata
