Craig David's chorus on a loop?

Options
Craig David's 'All Alone Tonight' has the same line repeated 20 time (yes I've counted them). Virtually half of the recording is made up of:

Stop look yeah, listen to your heart hear what it’s saying.

Am I the only one to think that's banal, boring, repetitive and lacking anything of substance? At least Da Da Da was comical! Seems to me this is just repeated so many times to save filling the track with anything substantial or too demanding.

    Try listening to Ride A White Swan by T.Rex and count the "na na na"s

    Classic track

    Is that the same na na na's as in the Beatles' Hey Jude?

    On the subject of T Rex, best intro ever - anywhere - anytime: 20th Century Boy.

    On the one hand I'm inclined to agree with you because I dislike Crag David.

    On the other hand, I remember I quite like Moby.

    Perhaps it isn't how many words but how well they're used? Is a Haiku worthless because they're usually pretty short. And not repeated. OK and poem forms rather than songs... but you see my point!

    You think the Craig David song's bad, have you heard Kesha's Tik Tok? What the? Sounds like they let a chimp loose in the engineering booth at the studio.

    Oh, and because poor literacy is kewl! (Sorry to Linkara)

    Insipid whiny little s..
    Now Black Sabbath - theres a band who could hold a tune.

    But seriously, Craig David has a great soul voice so why does he sing this whiny bland carp. Makes me mad :mad:
