broken records
Bests that fell
A broken record is a vinyl record with damage that causes it to skip, repeating the same phrase endlessly.
The figurative use dominates: someone who sounds like a broken record keeps saying the same thing over and over.
I know I sound like a broken record, but you really need to call your mother.
The phrase persists even as the technology fades from memory.
