In Russian, for example, there is such thing as докучные сказки. Like:

У попа была собака, он ее любил.
Она съела кусок мяса, он ее убил.
В землю закопал, надпись написал:
  Repeat this story again and again.

It's like: A priest had a dog, the priest loved it. The dog ate a piece of meat, the priest killed it, buried and wrote: the same phrase from beginning. Does such things exist in English?
