Musical Dice -- Repeated Song Titles

     Welcome to the music section of my Musical Dice website! For you music trivia enthusiasts, and those who love to learn about the stories behind the music, you've come to the right place! I love sharing my knowledge of music trivia, so that's why I created this section.

     Sometimes, the catchiest songs are those with repeated song titles. Today's article deals with those repeated song titles. Now here, I'm only including those titles with nothing but repeated words. Songs like "Please Please Me," "Mercy Mercy Me," and "Oh My My" have been excluded for that reason. I'm only including those repeated song titles that have hit the top ten on the pop singles chart. If you feel I've missed anything, email me at musicaldice323@gmail.com.

     SPECIAL NOTES: Honorable Mention goes to a few repeates song titles that didn't hit the top ten. For example, Johnny Mathis's original version of "Wonderful! Wonderful!" only reached #14 in 1957. "Girls Girls Girls" by Motley Crue only reached #12 in 1987. ABBA had several repeated song titles for hits, but the one most noteworthy to me is "I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do" which reached #15 in 1976.
