Answer 1

A song in which text is set to verses of repeated melodic material is typically referred to as a **"verse-chorus" song**. This structure features verses that tell a story or convey the song's message, while the chorus, consisting of repeated melodic material, serves as a memorable and catchy section that often encapsulates the main theme or emotional core of the song. Another term for this style can be **"strophic" form** if the verses have the same melody but different lyrics.

If you mean a specific genre or style, **pop songs** often follow this structure, as do many folk songs and traditional music.
