"Animal" is a song by the group Neon Trees, the beginning melody from the song is repeated throughout the song in its entirety and slightly heard in the background music. It does in fact have repetition that relates to Ratliff's arguments, this song is slightly older, but is catchy and definitely grabs your attention.

"Repetition is a smart psychological operation -- way to make you focus on all that is in fact non-repetitive."

In music the term "repetition" is considered to be the recurrence of the same melody followed by another variation of another melody. Most music typically has repetition in order to create a melody and create music. An example would be the snare in a song or many songs that we hear daily, this would be considered repetition. So I would agree with Ratliff's argument regarding repetition as the "expansion of an idea", this helps us focus on the non-repetitive melody's in the song. Hearing a specific repetitive melody repeatedly helps me to focus more on the music and i truly learn to enjoy it more.
