* When The Saints Go Marching In
* The Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling On (MK dub and subsequent remixes): "-Er/ And their lives again -er / And their li- to pull us -er" ad nauseam. These are in fact chopped and resampled lyrics from the [[AdaptationDisplacement forgotten]] 1992 original mix.
* ''Paradise'' by {{Coldplay}}.
* A version with the hymn "Down to the River to Pray". It basically repeats the chorus and only slightly changes the verses (replacing sisters with brothers, fathers, mothers and finally sinners).
* This is actually a common structure for most spiritual songs: repeat the same verse several times, but change only one or two lines. (For instance, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" is just that line sung four times, then with "the whole world" swapped out for something else on each subsequent verse.)

* A LOT of Church choruses.

I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves; yes, on everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes... I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves; yes, on everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes...." And it can go on for as long as you like.
