A Sub-Trope of Epic Rocking that's routinely paired with Epic Instrumental Opener. These songs have a short list of lyrics. Maybe there's only a few lines in a much longer song. Maybe the vocalist sings the lyrics repeatedly. Often overlaps with Title-Only Chorus. Has been known to overlap with Broken Record. Can result in Chorus-Only Song as these wind up feeling like a Limited Lyrics Song. Especially long songs can fall into this if the lyrics are sufficiently limited. The lyrics don't even need to be bunched up in a small space in the song. Can also result in Refrain from Assuming if the repeated line isn't the title. To qualify for this trope, the song must be more than 2 minutes long. Exceptionally short songs (under 2 minutes long) rarely qualify since there isn't enough time for a great many lyrics to begin with. |

Lil Pump became controversial due to his lyrical style consisting of repeating a couple of lines over and over again. Most of his songs are more sophisticated than most of the examples on this page, but his Diss Track "Fuck J. Cole" only consists of two insults to J.Cole repeated over and over. "Gucci Gang" has him repeat the title phrase 53 times in 3 minutes. | |

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The original theme song just features the line "Go, go Power Rangers" repeated three times before ending with "You Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" done twice in succession. However, season 2 debuted an extended version of the song that replaced the instrumental tune Zords used in season 1. This extended theme contained two full verses ending with "No one can ever take them down! The power lies on their side!", usually heard as the Thunder Megazord completes its assembly, before breaking into the repetitive part used in the show's opening title. | |

Madness did this several times in the early career, in particular on One Step Beyond Album. The title track of One Step Beyond starts with a spoken-word intro that runs for 25 seconds, without accompaniment. Once the music picks up, the only words are intermittent shouts of the title and background repetitions of "Here we go," mixed with assorted vocal effects. "Night Boat To Cairo" has one verse in the middle of the song; the rest is basically instrumental apart from random interjections of the title and "all aboard!". |

The original album version of "Atomic" by Blondie has one verse, then goes into an instrumental for most of its running time before returning to a vocal refrain near the end. The single edit is more conventionally structured, as it edits down the instrumental section and also throws in a repeat of the sole verse. | |

"Stop Smoking" by Car Seat Headrest has only two lines repeated multiple times: This is averted when the theme from Stop Smoking recurs in High to Death, a nearly eight-minute-long lyrical Doorstopper of a song that isn't even the second-longest song on the album. |

"Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America is a complicated example. The song is split into two halves. The first half features two verses with a chorus. Said chorus consists simply of the line "Moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches." The verses (which actually follow the chorus) have more varied lines. The second half of the song consists simply of the lines "Millions of peaches, peaches for me./Millions of peaches, peaches for free." | |

Yello: While the band's songs usually lean towards wordiness, there are some songs that break this convention: The lyrics for the album version of "Bostich" consist solely of one verse, which is repeated five times. "Oh Yeah" is very sparse in the lyrical department, with the only distinct lines (other than the nonverbal mouth sounds) being a Title Drop, "the moon, beautiful," "the sun, even more beautiful," "beautiful," and "such a good time, a really good time." According to Boris Blank, vocalist Dieter Meier was "very angry" when he was asked to only say "oh yeah" over and over again, and it wasn't until after the song was recorded that he came around to it. The lyrics to "Planet Dada" consist only of a Title Drop, "electric," and "erotic," repeated in various different ways. |

Genesis' "Guide Vocal". These lyrics are repeated verbatim (with the same melody and chords behind them, but a different arrangement) in "Duke's Travels", and they're the only lyrics to the song after an Epic Instrumental Opener that lasts for most of the song. There's also "Lurker", whose lyrics consist only of a brief spoken word section and then a verse that is sung twice. Also, many of Genesis' prog songs are examples of this trope due to their length; for instance, "The Cinema Show" only has about three minutes of singing before about an eight-minute instrumental break, while "Fading Lights" has only three verses and a chorus. "Los Endos" takes the cake, though; it only has two lines ("There's an angel standing in the sun / There's an angel standing in the sun / Free to get back home"), both of which are reprised from "Supper's Ready" a few years earlier. |

In a similar manner, "Daftendirekt" from Homework repeats the lyric line "Da funk back to the punk, come on" over the course of its length, while "Superheroes" from Discovery does the same with the lyric "Something's in the air" up until its last third of length (which is entirely instrumental). | |

The only lyrics that were included in the Jason Donovan song "Just Call Me Up" is the titular lyric, "I'll be waiting tonight(?)", and "I'll be waiting/I will be there" repeated all over again. The rest of the song is an instrumental. | |

Need for Speed: High Stakes and Porsche Unleashed had quite a few of these from the in-house artists, usually composed of one or two lyrics such as "Rock This" in the former and "Rock This Place" in the latter by Rom Di Prisco (aka Morphadron). There was even a cut song from High Stakes called "Bass!" that literally has an upbeat voice going "Bass!" to the music. Same goes for most of the licensed songs, such as Dastrix's "Dude In The Moon", The Funk Lab's "I Am Electro", The Experiment's "Cost of Freedom", and Junkie XL's "No Remorse". | |
