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.

And Yazoo's other big hit is an even more obvious example of this.

Does R.E.M.'s "Belong" count here?No, there are (wordless) vocals. Pavement - GroundedThe chorus is, “Boys are dyin’ on these streets...”

If the guitar bit in Grounded had vocals you - ok I - would definitely say it was the chorus, and 'boys are dying on these streets' the bridge, or the last line of it.

Ivy - “Baker”I know this song very well but today it has me picturing a bleary eyed Baker Mayfield staring at the Cleveland skyline at 3am after finding out the Browns got Deshawn Watson.

xxp It couldn’t have vocals, it’s just a gtr riff! But even if he sang something over it, I’d still say “Boys are dyin’…” is part of the chorus. It’s certainly not the bridge(?)

Pavement songs don’t often have bridges, IIRC… they’re lesson in, “only include a bridge if you really write a kickass one” (e.g., “Stereo”).

You never, never know when the bridge falls apart.

these threads are kind of fascinating. it's amazing for a board that loves music how so many people don't seem to know what a chorus is
