Origin
The phrase originates from the era of vinyl records. If a record was scratched or damaged, the needle could get stuck in a groove, causing a section of the song to repeat endlessly until manually adjusted

. This literal repetition inspired the figurative use to describe people who repeat themselves.

Connotation
While the idiom often implies tedious repetition, it is not always negative. It can indicate persistence or emphasis when someone repeats an important point. However, in casual conversation, it usually conveys mild irritation at hearing the same thing repeatedly

КОСМИЧЕСКАЯ ТОСКА

Облака снежной пылью по небу разметены,
Как туманности в космосе скручены и волосаты,
Даже кажется, что на какой-то планете мы.
Их ведь много пятнистых, в заботах, муссонах, пассатах.
Может, кто-то живет на вершине Вселенности
И с усмешкой глядит на забавный земной муравейник.
Нашу жизнь — детектив о потерянных ценностях
Крутит заново он, изменяя столетья, мгновенья.
Жаждой власти, наживы и мерзкими кознями
Надоела Земля, а планет в «фильмотеке» хватает…
Он слагает мозаики яркими звездами
Или дремлет, а мимо века - облака пролетают.
