The White Stripes one that might fit the bill is Hand Springs

Erm, Earl Brutus "Your Majesty, We Are Here" has an awesome chorus in which Nick (rest his soul) yells "YEAH YEAH YEEEEEAH" over the top...does this count?

Well, if it does, so does Lithium.

He also yells "BABA BAAA BA-BA BA-BA/ BABA BAAAA BA BA BA/ BABA BAAAA/ BAAA BA BABA BAAAA", if that helps.

It seems like on many of these we are treating the main riff of a song as if it were the chorus. It's kind of a fuzzy definition.
Like is the little keyboard figure that comes up several times in "When Doves Cry" really the chorus?I always thought the chorus was the part that goes "How could you just leave me standing... etc."

Isn't the chorus to "And Your Bird Can Sing" the part that goes "When your prized possiessions start to weigh you down..."?

I can't remember now if 2Unlimited's 'Get Ready For This' had rapping or not, but the awesome main riff is definitely a chorus. It didn't have a video either, which is pretty cool for such a massive pop smash. (hated it at the time, obviously)

That's a tough one. I can see how that would fit the thread call. But isn't the "Wish me love a wishing wellTo kiss and tell" part the chorus (too?)?
