That's one thing I hated about AT40 with Shadoe Stevens, the way they would sometimes "loop" sections of the song, stretching it out interminably. When AT40 returned in March 1998, they started repeating verses again, which I found annoying; they finally reduced the frequency of their "looping" in July 1999 (if I recall correctly it was the same show where they opened with a segment of the July 4,1970 program, and brought in a newly recorded opening theme and improved #40 jingle). They still "loop" a song or two even to this day, but the last time they went really overboard with it was on the "Top 40 of 1999" show.
