"Over and Over and Over Again" : Mantras in songs C/D

It doesn't necessarily bother me (although your question is a loaded one: I guess if it's really repeated way too many times, then it's not a good thing, but we might not agree on what way too many times is). I think it can be very effective in music that's meant to be danced to.

― Rockist Scientist, Sunday, 1 February 2004 01:58 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe. I don't know. I just remember turning on the radio last night and hear the last part of "All Apologies", the part that is a mantra. I just began to relize how annoying it got after like the fifth time he said, "All in all/Is all we are" I just wanted it to end. There are other songs like that that really get on my nerves. Others are ok.

The only song that ever really made me hate this sort of thing was the Stooge's We Will Fall. It's probably the worst thing ever.

Oh, and I guess I'm okay with repetition, as I can listen to that for hours and hours and hours. More for the swoopy guitars and third or fourth best bassline in existence than the lyrics tho.

OTM with "We Will Fall". Bo. Ring.
A killer rhythm section makes quick friends with a mantra, i.e. anything by Can. Or Eddie Amador's "House Music". Peter Hook's bassline in the closing minutes of "Blue Monday" is a non-vocal mantra, IMO.

On the other hand, "All Apologies", "Hey Jude", and "Tubthumping" are just silly rock songs without killer grooves, hence the annoying mantras.

The best Nirvana song with a mantra is probably "Negitive Creep." But that song has a short one so that's why it's not so annoying. "Sliver" has a long one and it's annoying to even try to figure out how many times he says, "Grandma take me home." There are just too many Nirvana songs with mantras!

Back to square one (now it's my turn)
Another Empire backfire
Back to square one (now it's your turn)
And the old school backfire

This is from the Killing Joke song "Empire Song." Jaz just keeps saying it till it fades out. I don't find this one annoying. Maybe because the song is fast and it feels too short and I think it should be longer. The only thing that makes this annoying in my case is, after the song is over, my mom, if she's home while I listen to it, sings that mantra and sometimes she doesn't even get the words right. Then I want "her" to stop.

"Make those Donuts With Extra-Grease! This Batch is For the Chief of Police!"

The only lyrics of "Fascists Eat Donuts" by the criminally under-celebrated Pop-o-Pies, repeated endlessly over a solitary chord for about seven or eight mind-punishing minutes. GENIUS!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 1 February 2004 18:19 (twenty years ago) link

Hey Alex, have you heard the Dead Kennedys' song "Short Songs" or whatever it's called. I wanted to listen to it but haven't gotten a chance to. I read the lyrics though. "I like short songs" (13x) I think. Do you like that one?
