Stuck On Repeat
"Stuck on Repeat" is a song by English singer and songwriter Little Boots from her debut extended play (EP), ''Arecibo'' (2008), and later appearing on her debut studio album, '' Hands'' (2009). Written by Little Boots, Greg Kurstin and Joe Goddard, and produced by Goddard, the song was released as a promotional single in the United Kingdom in February 2008. Background and writing "Stuck on Repeat" was originally recorded as a rough demo by Little Boots after she had composed a loop that sounded like Giorgio Moroder. Excited about the demo she sent it to several musicians and record labels, but never heard back from them. A friend of Goddard sent him the demo much to the embarrassment of Little Boots. Goddard, however, saw potential in the song and volunteered to remix it. Eventually, he rewrote and produced the song with Little Boots. "Stuck on Repeat" was composed by Little Boots and Goddard with Australian singer Kylie Minogue in mind. It was recorded in Goddard's bedroom. ...

It may provide (or obscure) clarity or identify hidden similarities between two different ideas. Metaphors are often compared with other types of figurative language, such as antithesis, hyperbole, metonymy, and simile. One of the most commonly cited examples of a metaphor in English literature comes from the "All the world's a stage" monologue from '' As You Like It'': All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances And one man in his time plays many parts, His Acts being seven ages. At first, the infant... :—William Shakespeare, '' As You Like It'', 2/7 This quotation expresses a metaphor because the world is not literally a stage, and most humans are not literally actors and actresses playing roles.
