Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Let's Live For Today"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today Gimme some-a lovin' Gimme some-a lovin' Gimme some-a lovin' Gimme some-a lovin'. Why They're Repetitive: I've checked the lyrics webpages, and I can assure the readers that these two lyrics take up two-thirds of the song.

Dirty Song Lyrics:
"Mamacita"
The Dirty Lyrics: Ma-ma-ma Mamacita She'll break your heart when you meet her She's so sweet you could eat her Ma-ma-ma Mamacita I dream about those cherry lips That have never been tasted And it just tears me apart To think all the love has been wasted She's saving all her love Ain't giving none away Senoritas they never shout olé Till their wedding day
Why They're Dirty: This song was banned on many radio stations due to the "She's so sweet you could eat her". The group changed the lyrics when they played it on American Bandstand to "There ain't nobody sweeter", and on subsequent releases of the 45, but the damage had already been done. Notably, they left in the lyrics "I dream about those cherry lips that have never been tasted", which (depending on your point of view) is even dirtier than the original offending lyrics. This was their final charting single, from 1975.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Having a future "Office" cast member in the band"
When the American version of "The Office" debuted, Grass Roots guitarist Creed Bratton joined the cast as a fictionalized (and nastier) version of himself.
