To say or sing a phrase over and over?

There are several ways to say or sing a phrase over and over, depending on the effect you're aiming for:

General terms:

* Repeat: This is the most straightforward way to describe the action. You can say "repeat the phrase" or "repeat the song lyric".

* Reiterate: This implies a stronger emphasis on the phrase, like you're trying to make a point by saying it again.

* Recite: This implies a more formal or literary setting, like reciting a poem.

* Hum: This specifically describes singing a phrase repeatedly, often in a quiet, low voice.

* Chant: This implies a rhythmic and often repetitive way of singing or saying a phrase, often used in rituals or protests.

More specific terms:

* Loop: This is used when the phrase is repeated in a continuous cycle, like in music or audio production.

* Drone: This refers to a sustained, monotonous repetition of a single note or phrase.

* Echo: This describes a repetition of a phrase with a delay, like an echo in a cave.

* Refrain: This is a specific part of a song that is repeated regularly, often after each verse.

Other options:

* Keep saying/singing: This is a simple and direct way to express the action.

* Say/sing it again and again: This emphasizes the repetitive nature of the action.

The best word to use will depend on the context and the desired effect.
