Songs That Go “I Know I Know I Know”

I know. I know. I know. But did you know that these words are used in a LOT of song lyrics? Now that you do know, you won’t be able to unhear it.

Here are some examples:

• Murder on the Dancefloor (Sophie Ellis-Bextor): “Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know About your kind.”
• I’m So Excited (The Pointer Sisters): “And I know, I know, I know, I know I know I want you.”
• I’m Not the Only One (Sam Smith): “And I know, and I know, and I know, know I know I’m not the only one.”
• One Last Time (Ariana Grande): “And I know, and I know, and I know she gives you everything.”
• Steal My Girl (One Direction): “But I know, I know, I know for sure.”
• Girl Gone Wild (Madonna): “I know, I know, I know I shouldn’t act this way.”
• Aint No Sunshine by Bill Withers: “And I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone.”

Is it a way to communicate longing? Or is it purely lyrical filler? Listen to the playlist at the bottom of this post and decide for yourself.
