“Won’t Get Fooled Again” was my immediate thought on seeing the thread title - I assumed that’s what it would be about.

Since it hasn’t been mentioned yet: **The Pogues** ’s “Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah” contains at least 163 “yeahs”. And **Devo** ’s “Uncontrollable Urge”, as mentioned, should be on the list.

Also, the “Oh yeah!” at the end of that “How a bill becomes a law” song from _Schoolhouse Rock_ makes a lasting impression.

Toldja I wasn’t a big Who fan. I probably haven’t heard the song in a few years.
