What would be a good simile to replace "Like a Broken Record"?

Question

I could go on and on about this again and again. I'm stuck on this and return to it over and over....But as LPs have disappeared, what shall replace them in our language to describe unnecessary repetition? Broken CDs or MP3s just aren't the same.

i don't see why we have to get rid of "like a broken record." the english language is littered with examples of old sayings whose origins are long defunct, but whose usage has never declined.

I would say something like "You sound just like a bad parrot." That is the only thing that is coming to mind at the moment.
