A '''repetitive song''' is a type of children's song that consists of repeated words and phrases. Many repetitive songs are believed to have originated in the [[United States]] among [[African American]] slaves as they were doing manual work in the 19th century. Although many adults and teenagers view them as "annoying", repetitive songs are not entirely a bad thing as repetition can aid memory and be very valuable in studying religion, foreign languages, mathematics, science, history, grammar, and/or literature.
==Examples of repetitive songs==
*''Old McDonald Had a Farm''
*''The Farmer in the Dell''
*''John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmitt''
*''99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall''
*''If You're Happy and You Know It''
*''Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes''
*''Five Little Monkeys''
*''The Wheels on the Bus''
*''Little Bunny Foo Foo''
*''There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly''
*''Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar''
