I think a lot of Kraftwerk's catalog would fit your requirements. Particularly Autobahn and Tour de France.

Oh okay. What's that called then? The technical name I mean - like a "fugue" or something?

Do you know that "My Sweet Lord" is actually The Chiffons' "He's So Fine"? The melody themes are identical to the point that Harrison actually lost a lawsuit over it.

Well anyways, it has two themes. Trying to think of a pop song with just one constantly repeating theme is surprisingly difficult.
