On That Note: Don’t Fear the Repeater

[cycloner29]

"Stayed awake all night." Pretty much throughout the entire song. At the 3:37 mark up to 4:30 mark which is pretty much the remainder of the song.





"Dirty Eyes" at the 2:30 mark. Rhythm sounds just like "Whole lotta Rosie"

 

[cyclones500]

The main spell-it-out refrain is hub for the catchiness … but also has extended repeat at the end: “S-S-S-Saturday night.” (roughly 2:28)

"Gucci Gang" is repeated in Gucci Gang like 50 odd times I think. The song is also pure trash and may cause brain damage.

 

[IsUaClone2]

"It turned into a ballroom blitz" occurs twice at the end of each chorus followed by four more "ballroom blitz"s plus four more "ballroom blitz"s at the end of the song.

The word Tequila appears three times throughout this song:

Just kinda curious.

So Misunderstood, so misunderstood, so misunderstood

I'd like to thank you all for Nuthin
Nuthin
Nuthin..........
Nuthin at all.

in the live show they will drag out the Nuthin 20x or more. It is a weird thing with Wilco fans. "How many 'nuthins' were there during Misunderstood?"
FWIW, the most I've seen was 32x. ;-)

I have at least 2 others from Kiss I could post (and might in a while)

“Tomorrow and tonight, tomorrow and tonight / We can rock all day, we can roll all night” (with some “come on”, “yeah” and “woo” sprinkled within) - approx 2:05 (roughly 11 times at the end)

That album cover was a serious part of my youth...

I would think just about any punk song would fit this category
The Dead Milkmen use the saying Bitchin Camaro 14 times

It's not peculiar, there's nothing to devise at all, all right
At all, all right
At all, all right
At all, all right



I went to school and I got the big D
I got the big D
I got the big D
I got the big D
I went to school and I got the big D

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue

I wanna be sedated 12 times

In some songs, extended repeat can seem superfluous for its own sake. In this case, it works in favor of the piece, intensity/build-up that matches the storyline (variance in delivery/cadence helps).

“Then she remembers what she said.”
Approx. 2:20 to 3:25, before the fadeout. # of repeats: 10

 

[IsUaClone2]

"Walk this way" occurs four times around 0:59 and eight times around 2:10:

A couple from The National...

So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie Manhattan
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie



I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders

I won't f--k us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't f-k us over

More punk
Plasmatics - Hitman
I think they say Hitman 46 times. The whole song is extremely repetitive

 

[cycloner29]

Going a little country style with B & D.

My Maria (oh Maria I love you girl, oh my Maria)
Maria (oh Maria I love you girl, Maria I love you)
I love you.

Last five verses of the song.

 

[CYCLNST8]

Entire chorus of “Yeah.”
