Today we were talking One Word Wonders! While playing Thunder by Imagine Dragons, Muireann wondered - is this the song that repeats a word more times than any other song?

A listener got in touch to say that this title has to go to the 90's classic No Limit by 2 Unlimited who really wanted us to know that there really is NO limit.

And the One Word Wonders kept coming! A few of you suggested Best of You by Foo Fighters which contains the word Best a whopping 40 times.

Rihanna sings Work a total of 79 times in the song of the same name.

On the theme of work, Hannah in Roscommon suggested Fifth Harmony's Work From Home that has even more Works - 95 to be exact!

The Red Hot Chili Peppers managed to fit in Give It Away 49 times in their 1991 release.

A few of you suggested Bill Withers and Lovely Day, where we counted 94 Lovely Days in the radio edit.

Brian got close with his suggestion of Get Get Down by Paul Johnson and its 129 Down's.

We thought we had a winner with Daft Punk's Around the World that repeats the phrase 144 times!

But the real winner was The Beatles with Hey Jude and the 162 Nah's they sing!
