it's not too many i think, about 15 to 20 timescount of poing in "poing" by rotterdam termination source would be more fun

Shouldn't they change the very last line to "no more times"?

Why do they sing "don't stop the dancing" and then have a massive two minute breakdown that you can't dance in?

to test you, I suspect.

There was a time at university where we got pretty messed up and attempted to count how many times Paul Johnson sings* the word 'down' in his seminal 1999 hit 'Get Get Down'. It's really hard.
*Okay it may not actually be him singing.

I love that they have actually managed to get a spelling mistake in there.

I remember these sort of numbers being actually used as an argument against dance and pop tunes... Like, "He says phrase X so and so many times in 4 minutes, that's not even proper music, it's just mindless repetition!" I wonder if people are still using this as a point of criticism?

Anyway, I wonder if this is accurately counted?

In the lyric sheet for Azeda Booth's In Flesh Tones, the lyrics to Kensington ends this way

I like that they've counted it themselves, and I think it's accurate:

The correct answer is none. What should be asked is, how many times does Romanthony sing "One More Time" in the song "One More Time"?
― MarkoP, Thursday, 13 September 2012 15:10 (9 months ago) Permalink
