# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
It slays all day. In episode #5 of Vox Pop's Earworm, producer Estelle Caswell, comes to appreciate the art of repetition with the help of Colin Morris and Elizabeth Margulis. Colin is a computer scientist who created two really amazing ways to visualize repetition in song lyrics and how they've increased over the last 50 or so years.

choose one musical element outside, how does it exemplify this musical concept?
the song i chose for outside Ben ratliffs music choices is billy jean by micheal jackson, i feel the repeated beat and chorus give the people listening the pyschological satisfaction theyre looking for and give the sense of them to respond to the beat by dancing and give of the sense of using this repeated beats and chorus to get through their day

Examine at least one musical example in Ratliff’s playlist in detail – how does it exemplify this musical concept?
the musical example i chose to examine was furthest thing by drake i think the way is exemplifies the musical concept of repetition is the repeated slowed down singing verses that continue throughout the song i believe that listening to the slowed down chorus gives that eternal art feeling that we would love to stay looking on the more phycological fact of things. now looking on the rhythm side of things the song and repetition give people the want to respond with their body motions and dancing i think this song follows his arguing points for the use of repetition.

Do you agree with Ratliff’s arguments regarding this musical element? Why or why not?
I completely agree with Ratliff's arguments, the first big point he makes is this repetition helps keep us in an on going process in our daily lives, next he says repetition is a way to make you focus on all that is nonrepetitive. meaning that as the music changes we stay put. I think his biggest point was that repetition leads to the expansion of ideas, we as listeners looking for new ways to experience this art form the expansion of ideas is the most powerful thing because were always going to look for the second part the next repetition i think everything he states about repetition is correct and i stand with his viewpoints.

Define and evaluate the concept of repetition (Ratliff, Ch. 1) as an important musical element across all kinds of music.
the concept of repetition is something very basic and very important to the world of music, repetition is something we as humans do in hopes of something new occurring so in the music scene repetition is used to make things flow or repeat in a more upbeat sense. its used almost as a way to keep the rhythm in check. This concept is found all throughout every type of music because we as humans get a sense of comfortability when we hear this in music we listen to everyday.
