why why why must you repeat repeat repeat it???

i sorta get a kick outta bands that feel the need to duplicate the same word/sound/phrase more than once in their name.

PRIME EXAMPLES:

yeah yeah yeahs
chin up chin up
!!!
man man
hot hot heat

but my question, is it pretentious?

comment away.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Hyperballad (Bjork cover)

Labels: chin up chin up, chk chk chk, hot hot heat, man man, yeah yeah yeahs
