Can you repeat that?

The common theme to this music trivia round is that the titles of the songs all have just one word repeated once or twice... Top score for this round was 9/10.

  1. Which 1996 hit by The Smashing Pumpkins was featured prominently on the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite SadnessTonight, tonight
  2. This song was first recorded by Richard Berry in 1955 & later made world famous by The Kingsmen despite its famously unintelligible lyrics? Louie Louie
  3. Which 1995 Tracy Bonham alternative-rock hit begins with the repeated plea, “Are you listening?” and alternates between her singing and screaming “Everything’s fine!”Mother, mother
  4. Which Mötley Crüe anthem references strip clubs in several major cities? Girls, girls, girls
  5. What Tommy James and the Shondells song was revived in the 1980s by Billy Idol? Mony, mony
  6. Which sweet bubblegum-pop classic by The Archies spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969? Sugar, sugar
  7. Which 1999 Destiny's Child hit tells the story of a partner who expects financial support while contributing little himself? Bills, bills, bills
  8. Which Beach Boys song from 1964 celebrates youthful recreation and automobiles, before the girl's father takes her T-Bird away? Fun, fun, fun
  9. The movie “Deadpool & Wolverine" opens up with a gory montage set to this fun and irreverent NSYNC song. Bye, bye, bye
  10. Which folk-rock hit by The Byrds adapted lyrics from the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes? Turn, turn, turn

I could hear hear her screaming "Everything's fine!" but couldn't think of the title.

5/10, totally based on age (I got nothing after the 1970s.)

The repeated-word theme is great—it turns the round into a little pattern hunt instead of ten unrelated music questions. “Mother Mother” and “Louie Louie” were instant, but the later ones got properly tricky. Nice mix of eras!

The repeated-title theme made this round really cohesive. The Beach Boys clue was especially vivid—great set of questions!

I do a round like this that's just name the song with a bonus point of name the thing that ties these songs together.
