10 Famous Musicians Who Just Do The Same Weird Thing Every Time

10. The Lyric "She Said" - The 1975

One of the strangest phenomenons in modern music concerns British nu-wave, synth-pop, electro-rock, alt-funk ensemble The 1975. Specifically, how frontman Matty Healy has, apparently inadvertently, used the same phrase in virtually every single song he's written.

Speaking in an interview he insisted that while the focus of the band's songs wasn't predominantly about girls, he'd fallen into a habit of framing things from their perspective an inordinate amount of times during the writing process. This isn't just something that crops up frequently, it is almost every single song.

For those counting, The 1975 have used the exact lyric "she said" in no less than 28 times in 21 songs.

Lost Boys, Scary Monsters, The City, Antichrist, Woman, Undo, Sex, Milk, Chocolate, So Far (It's Alright), Heart Out, Robbers, She Way Out, A Change of Heart, She's American, The Sound, Paris, TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME, I Couldn't Be More In Love, Me & You Together Song, and If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know).

Their latter two there are from their upcoming 2020 album Notes on a Conditional Form, showing the band have no plans to ditch the gimmick.
