<p><b>Filled-in blocks</b> are another special case of the 'stripey squares' pattern, where what's chanted is just a single word.</p>
<p>The song on the left, <Link to="/cgyoomh">Can't Get You Out Of My Head</Link> by Kylie Minogue is an especially dramatic example. It's about 47% "la la la" by volume.</p>
<p>The Greeks called this <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/epizeuxis">epizeuxis</a>. I just call it great pop music.</p>

<p><b>Short diagonals</b> represent some phrase that
the artist is riffing on. The matrix to the left is the beginning of Lady
Gaga's "Bad Romance", up to the end of the first chorus. The first verse goes...</p>
<p>The song on the left, <Link to="/psychokiller">Psycho Killer</Link> by Talking Heads has two runs of repeated words in the chorus:.</p>
<blockquote>
I want your ugly<br/>
I want your disease<br/>
I want your everything as long as it's free<br/>
I want your love<br/>
Love-love-love<br/>
I want your love<br/><br/>
I want your drama<br/>
The touch of your hand<br/>
I want your leather studded kiss in the sand<br/>
I want your love<br/>
Love-love-love, I want your love (Love-love-love, I want your love)
Psycho killer< br/>
Qu'est-ce que c'est< br/>
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better< br/>
Run run run run run run run away< br/>
</blockquote>
<p>The many short diagonals around the middle of the matrix correspond to the
phrase "I want your", which begins nearly every line of the verses.
(In rhetoric, this is called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphora_(rhetoric)">anaphora</a>.)</p>
