     Consider Ravel's "Bolero".  This is piece that is primarily repetitious.
It is also very popular (thanks to Bo Derek?).

     The rock group War used repetition of lyrics extensively.  Songs like
"Gypsy Man" and others that I can't remember names for demonstrate this.
I don't know what there point was, but I liked their music.

     Disco music is quite repetitive.  This makes it an excellent candidate
for jazz dance numbers.
