Repetitive Song Lyrics:

"We Did It Again"

The Repetitive Lyrics:

I did it again

Why They're Repetitive:

If they sing it more then 25 times it is smells towards repetitiveness. The funny thing is that at first I thought they were actually singing "we did again", but if you hear closely they sing "I did it again"......or not......challenge accepted?
