Repetitive Song Lyrics:

"Cotton Eye Joe"

The Repetitive Lyrics:

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Why They're Repetitive:

Now that I had 11 years to think about it: this song is as anoying now as it was back then. 20 xs + in one chorus and the lyrics aren't even that intelligent.
