History Repeating è un brano del 1997 dei Propellerheads che vanta la presenza di Shirley Bassey.
I Propellerheads sono un duo inglese di musica elettronica, che ha avuto una certa notorietà alla fine degli anni ’90, mentre Shirley Bassey è la famosissima cantante britannica già affermata negli anni ’60 e interprete delle più belle canzoni dei titoli di testa di alcuni dei film della serie di 007. Ha anche preso parte al Festival di Sanremo 1968

The word is about, there’s something evolving,
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here,
that the revolution’s near,
but to me it seems quite clear
that it’s all just a little bit of history repeating

The newspapers shout a new style is growing,
but it don’t know if it’s coming or going,
there is fashion, there is fad
some is good, some is bad
and the joke is rather sad,
that its all just a little bit of history repeating

…and I’ve seen it before
…and I’ll see it again
…yes I’ve seen it before
…just little bits of history repeating

Some people don’t dance, if they don’t know who’s singing,
why ask your head, it’s your hips that are swinging
life’s for us to enjoy
woman, man, girl and boy,
feel the pain, feel the joy
aside set the little bits of history repeating

…just little bits of history repeating
…and I’ve seen it before
…and I’ll see it again
…yes I’ve seen it before
…just little bits of history repeating
