We've heard it all before!/here we go again!

[Theseus]

Any good Greek expressions for unwanted repetition? I know πάλι τα ίδια/ξανά η ίδια ιστορία/τα ίδια και τα ίδια/τα ίδια σκατά. Any more graphic ones?
Pontios used: 'Here we go again/we've heard it all before!' --- 'a jaded and uninspired rehash with lots of noise/fanfare and no substance.'

Τα ίδια, Παντελάκη μου, τα ίδια, Παντελή μου

Or the kinda minimalistic "άντε πάλι..."

I should explain ... I thought there was an idiom there in the όργανα thread, like the " tired old record" idiom, " you sound like a broken old record" - except we're now banging the same old drums, νταούλια, playing the same old tune/instrument όργανο - instead - I.e., we're rehashing old, boring stuff; that's what I thought, but I was just imagining it.

+1. Or even "άντε, ξανά μανά".

ΦΡ ξανά τα ίδια;, έντονη δυσαρέσκεια για συνεχή επανάληψη. ξανά μανά, για ενόχληση που προκύπτει από συνεχή, άσκοπη επανάληψη: Έκανε λάθος στο λογαριασμό και άντε πάλι ξανά μανά από την αρχή.

Mahna mahna

Thanks for all suggestions. No, Pontios, I just used your words to find expressions in Greek to match the above. You anyway acknowledged SBE's comments. Now I have the idioms i wanted.:)

Speaking of broken records, we do have a relevant phrase: "κόλλησε η βελόνα".

Thanks, Duke. It's the English idiom as well:-'The needle's stuck....'
