I am currently addicted to this song by Steve Martin and his band.



Enjoy, and while we're at it, I'm sure there have been others, but I love that the chorus is just that one word over and over. Who knew songwriting could be so simple? Any other songs you like that have such simple lyrics in all or part of it?

I'm not sure it's really that simple, it only works because there are so many other words packed into the verses.

What's funny is I randomly came across this song on Spotify this week.

Right, I wasn't trying to oversimplify it by saying it's simple, rather I'm just impressed at it. Sometimes many words do the trick, sometimes few. Music is awesome.

Paul McCartney, "Jet". I'm not sure if this song even has a chorus. But they say "Jet" a lot.

Some of you either don't know what a chorus is or what a word is.

I don't like AWOL Nation at all, but their chorus is literally only a single word. (At the 2:10 mark)
