rmavis commented on the word bucephalus
It's horrifying, but I can't remember the other word! Give me a minute, it'll come in some perspicacious klunk.
And I didn't know about Alexander's horse. I first read the word in the title of an Aphex Twin song, "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball". And a definition I once found is effectively "repetitious so as to be annoying". Which, yes, fit the song well.

This is one of two words I use to test dictionaries before I buy them.
