Songs where the chorus is an instrumental

Does R.E.M.'s "Belong" count here?

No, there are (wordless) vocals.

Pavement - Grounded

The chorus is, “Boys are dyin’ on these streets...”

Geto Boys - 'My Mind's Playing Tricks On Me'

The chorus (if it has one) is, “My mind is playin’ tricks on me...”

UPTOWN FUCKIN' FUNKKK

Uh...

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.

"21st Century Schizoid Man"

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

Vocabulary is what we make it (but also lol completely otm)

Kraftwerk, "Tour de France". Actually most (all?) Kraftwerk songs, I think?

Paul Simon - Duncan

Depeche Mode - Shame

"Duncan" is a great one!

A ton of EDM songs I guess count here
