Song titles with only one word repeated!

Wiggle Wiggle - Bob Dylan

 

Iko Iko - Dixie Cups, Grateful Dead, others...

 

Woman Woman - The Union Gap

 

At the risk of dragging this thread into the gutter, there's also Blowfly's cover version of this: 'Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum'.

Have we had 'Doctor Doctor' by UFO?

If we're allowed classical pieces then 'Adagio Adagio' by Henze (on Edna Michell's 'Compassion' CD)

Fifty-Fifty by the Mothers is a bit of a stretch but I guess it still counts.
But I guess the parenthetical (Amerikon) in Paul Kantner's 'Mau Mau' (from Blows Against the Empire) ruins that one as does (It Wears Off) in Todd R's 'Tic Tic Tic'.

 

And Thompson Twins and Barclay James Harvest, all different songs.

Sovay Sovay - The Pentangle.

 

'Tic, Tic, Tic' and 'Gue, Gue' -Kingston Trio

'Yo-Yo' -The Osmonds

'Boom Boom' -Paul Lekakis

'Goodbye-Goodbye' -Oingo Boingo

'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah' -Voices

'Cheeba Cheeba' -Tone-Loc

'Darkness, Darkness' -Youngbloods


-Aaron

 

Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi

 

Bye Bye Bye--*NSYNC

 

Where is the repetition?

-Aaron

 

The song Koyaanisqatsi has only one word in it: Koyaanisqatsi. It is repeated 16 times in the song, 4 times from 0:29 to 0:55, 4 times from 1:28 to 1:54, and 8 times from 2:27 to 3:22.

Edit: And now that I see I misinterpreted the thread title, Koyaanisqatsi is also repeated 0 times in the title of the song.

 

Did you know that this was written by Jim Glaser of "Tompall Glaser & The Glaser Brothers" fame? He originally wrote it as "Girl, Girl" but Gary recorded it and used "Woman, Woman" and ended up having a hit. In 1984, Jim himself would later record it as "Woman, Woman" and it is on his great album "The Man In The Mirror" from 1984, and is on CD. Go to www.jimglaser.com or www.etrecordshop.com and order it.

 

I had no idea. Thanks Bradley!

 

"Pata Pata" - Miriam Makeba

 

How about this for a theme? All are different songs.

Shame -- Evelyn "Champagne" King
Shame, Shame -- Magic Lanterns
Shame, Shame, Shame -- Shirley (and Company)
Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame -- Mark Collie

Yes, two of them were mentioned earlier ... but I like the progression.

 

In case they haven't been mentioned:

Caroling, Caroling -- Nat King Cole (and many others)
Chewy, Chewy -- The Ohio Express
Doctor! Doctor! -- Thompson Twins
Everybody Everybody -- Black Box
Go! Go! Go! -- Roy Orbison
Jingle, Jingle, Jingle -- Burl Ives [from the soundtrack of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]
Judy, Judy, Judy -- Johnny Tillotson
Liar, Liar -- The Castaways
Maria Maria -- Santana
My, My, My -- Johnny Gill
Santa Santa -- The Rocky Fellers [written by Neil Diamond]
Still, Still, Still -- The Norman Luboff Choir
Tomorrow Tomorrow -- Bee Gees
Yes, Yes, Yes -- Bill Cosby
You, You, You -- The Ames Brothers

 

Rebel Rebel -- David Bowie

Corinna Corinna -- (actually I forget who did this ...)

Long Long Long -- The Beatles

Gone Gone Gone -- Tommy James and the Shondells

 

Alright!

Sing -- The Carpenters
Sing-Sing -- Claude Nougaro
Sing Sing Sing -- Country Joe & the Fish

 

Doctor, Doctor - UFO
No, No, No - Kiss
Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue
Hi, Hi, Hi - Wings

 

Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps - Doris Day
JohnnyH

 

Shameful!

 

Corinna - Big Joe Turner, and Ray Peterson were the ones I mentioned in my post

Gone Gone Gone - is that different than "Some sunny day baby," which is how the Everly song starts?

 

Louie Louie- The Kingsmen
Ya Ya - John Lennon
Ya Ya - Toni Sheridan & the Beat Brothers

 

Oh, sorry, I must have missed it in your post ... Ray Peterson is who I had in mind. Now that I think of it, someone else had a song called Corinna Corinna (or something like that), and it was a different song ... King Biscuit Boy perhaps?

I'm not sure about the Tommy James song, it's been years since I listened to it. It's on the I Think We're Alone Now LP.

 

Love, Love, Love - Webb Pierce
Fool, Fool, Fool - Webb Pierce
Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful - Webb Pierce
