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)

Isn't the chorus to "And Your Bird Can Sing" the part that goes "When your prized possiessions start to weigh you down..."?― Moodles, Monday, 27 October 2008 20:17 (8 months ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

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?)?

The main riff in Ziggy Stardust is definitely the chorus, the "So where were the spiders?" bit is the pre-chorus
― when is the new Jim O'Rourke album coming out (spazzmatazz), Thursday, 22 January 2015 16:14 (eleven years ago)
True, if the riff was left out, this is a song without a chorus.

yeah, two chords on the farfisa is not a chorus.
― Mark G, Friday, 23 January 2015 11:53 (eleven years ago)
Given how loose people are being with terminology, I don't see why not. Where else is the chorus? The "Why, tell me why did you not treat me right?" part is a bridge/middle eight, and the entire verse builds to the four-bar organ/guitar part.

I'm slightly hesitant to be the pedant here, but In that Squeeze song, isn't the "Never chew a pickle" bit the chorus?

This one counts too, right? I mean, the "can't stop now, don't you know / I'll never let you go, don't go!" bit is cleary the pre-chorus, and the chorus melody only starts after it.
