That one bugs me too, as does most expressions that tautologically use superfluous words more than are needed.

The song "Moonlight Shadow"P: " ... four AM in the morning / carried along by a moonlight shadow": if only she'd sung "four o'clock in the morning" which scans just as well.

Incidentally, just as annoying is Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die":

"... in this ever-changing world in which we live in" uses "in which" to avoid putting the preposition at the end of the sentence ... then he up and puts it there anyway!
