I sort of already answered this two years ago. (But I guess that's fitting, for a question about repetition). Basically, I desire diversity and hate repetition in my music so much that even my most beloved song would become repugnant to me after a while, so this question just sounds like choosing a method of torture. Even if I spaced the song out over hours, days, or weeks, I think I would start to hate it for being the one piece of music I could listen to the exclusion of all others.
But if I absolutely I had to pick a song, I would choose:
John Cage's "4'33" is 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence.*
In other words, I hate repeating songs so much I would rather forgo listening to music and just play songs in my head for the rest of my life instead!

*From the performers. There is ambient noise that varies based on the audience-- which is another reason why I would choose this piece: By nature it can't be the same thing every single time!
