History Redundancy / Music

-->''I bring death and destruction\\
to all that I now kill!''

-->''He walks up to the closet\\

Damn, he's opening the closet...''

-->"Tonight,\\
I'm gonna rock you tonight!"

-->''In the pass they call El Paso back in 1921\\

As the evening sun sets in the west.''

-->''Then we drive to the drive-thru!\\

[[LampshadeHanging Did I mention the drive-thru?]]''

-->''Oh! The good old hockey game,''\\
''Is the best game you can name;''\\
''And the best game you can name,''\\
''Is the good old Hockey game!''
* Rock songs about the road are pretty redundant, and ''Music/TenaciousD'''s song 'The Road' exaggerates this for humorous effect:
-->''The road is f***in' hard,''\\
''It's also really f***in' tough,''\\
''There's no question that,''\\
''It don't take no guff...''

--> ''Thus began the beginning of the new race.''

--> "We've got cymbals\\

--> I drink alone \\
With nobody else \\
And you know when I drink alone \\
I prefer to be by myself.

-->I will buy you a new car
-->Perfect shiny and new

-->A man came up to me and asked me
-->What the time was that was on my watch

--> ''The heat was hot''

--> ''I got a letterman's sweater''
--> ''With a letter in front''

--> ''But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement''

* Eenie Meenie by Sean Kingston and JustinBieber features the line "She's indecisive, she can't decide"

** Their tune [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_on_the_Brat "Beat on the Brat"]] from their massively influential [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled debut]] is a great example:

* Several {{Nirvana}} songs. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOrmjhWpPrY Aneurysm]] is a good example.

** {{Eminem}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAuo8IOFNuE&feature=fvst It's 3 a.m. in the morning...]]

* [[PaulMcCartney ''Live and Let Die'']] has a line saying: ''"But in this ever changing world in which we live in"''

* Queensrÿche: "It just started to hit me like a two-ton... heavy thing."
* {{Erasure}}'s "Always" opens with: "Open your eyes I see, your eyes are open."
* KidCudi: "The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night..." Not technically redundant as being alone doesn't mean being lonely and vice versa, but it still sounds a little redundant when you listen to it.

* "Blackbirds" by LinkinPark: "I'm alone, on my own..."

* "Small Town" by JohnCougarMellencamp: "I cannot forget from where it is that I come from."

* CoheedAndCambria and "Apollo I: The Writing Writer".
* "Not Afraid" by {{Eminem}}: "I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly!"

* MitchBenn's ListSong of everything that's awesome about Creator/TheBBC has the "I Like X" variant (and he [[OneOfUs really does]]):

* King Crimson in "Indiscipline" sorta subverts this: "I repeat myself when under stress; I repeat myself when under stress; I repeat myself when under stress . . ."

* "[[BlackEyedPeas If you didn't know that, well baby, now you know now.]]"
* "[[VanHalen Only time will tell if we stand the test of time.]]"
* The first verse of "Meet James Ensor" by ''TheyMightBeGiants'' mentions "He lived with his mother / and the torments of Christ". The second verse remarks "He lived with his mother / [[LampshadeHanging and repeated himself]]".

* LadyGaga's "Born this way" music video has this:

* {{Phish}} unites this with CaptainObvious:

* {{U2}}'s "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of". Just the song title itself.

-->The heat was hot
* TheBeachBoys' "Be True To Your School":
-->I got a letterman's sweater
-->With a letter in front

-->But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement

* StevieNicks gets into the act:

* The credits to Music/RascalFlatts' 2014 album ''Rewind'' credit the production to "Rascal Flatts and Jay [=DeMarcus=]", even though he ''is'' one-third of Rascal Flatts.

* MitchBenn's ListSong of everything that's awesome about TheBBC has the "I Like X" variant (and he [[OneOfUs really does]]):

* The band Math The Band have also played shows under the name Math The Band The Band. Justified because Math The Band and Math The Band The Band are different lineups of the same group: Math The Band is a duo, whereas Math The Band The Band adds four more members, and is therefor more properly a "band".

* The band Math The Band have also played shows under the name Math The Band The Band. Justified because Math The Band and Math The Band The Band are different lineups the same group: Math The Band is a duo, whereas Math The Band The Band has six members, and is therefor more properly a "band".

--> Just like witches at black masses.

--> Shes got something, she's got something

* In ''[[{{Music/Hero}} !HERO: The Rock Opera]]'', the name of the OneWorldOrder is I.C.O.N., which stands for International Confederation Of Nations.

His white mare, Caballo Blanca, would brave for him the blazing flames of hell\\

* Music/TheRollingStones' "Let It Bleed":

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RePriPCmlro I'M GONNA HAVE A HOUSE PARTY IN MY HOUSE]]
* An English [[PostPunk post-punk]] group exists called 'The The'.

While I was serving sadly at the fort that’s known as Bliss''

* Austin Lounge Lizards has a song called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROOAjS7wywk Big Rio Grande River]]" with a bunch of English-Spanish redundancies in it.

* Music/TheWho "Face the Face" by Pete Townshend (from his solo album "White City")...now is that played straight or rather playing with? Verbing the noun is not completely redundant.

** This song may actually have a real-life parody target in 1979's "Rock You Tonight" by NWOBHM-ish band Marseille, phrased just slightly differently:

* Seminal [[PunkRock punk rockers]] [[Music/Ramones Ramones]] love this concept, which apparently come both from their influences in stripped-down, repetitive [[TheSixties 60s]] garage rock as well as in how frontman/songwriter Joey Ramone had a real-life obsessive desire to repeat things.

* There is a band called The The.

* I love college, I love drinking, I love women, and I love college.

----

* Music/{{Motorhead}}'s "Killed by Death".

-->Late nights when I sit up late,

-->I just wanna live while I'm alive

--> ¡Te quito la vida y te mato! (I'll take your life away and kill you!)
