I have a mix cd with that song on it, which skips at that exact point in the song. Took me about 20 minutes to realize what was happening the first time I put it on.

Repetitive lyrics bother me much less than repetitive music. I don’t mind a lot of the songs listed here that have repetitive lyrics, but I really don’t like songs where the beat and specifically the chord changes are very repetitive.
