The Killers - "Mr. Brightside"
― some dude, Saturday, 6 July 2013 23:59 (twelve years ago)
Daft Punk - "Lose Yourself to Dance"A Tribe Called Quest - "Sucka Nigga"
not sure "It's Me Bitches" really qualifies

Husker Du - "New Day Rising"

you're right, i thought "It's Me, Bitches" repeated more than just those 4 bars. any excuse to bang that song, though.

But line "Lose Yourself to Dance" is sort of a chorus, isn't it? Plus there's "come on come on come on come on..." and more lyrics ("everybody's dancing on the floor...")

xp oh sorry I assumed the title of the thread means the song should only have one verse (repeated multiple times) and no chorus
― lazyitis, Sunday, 7 July 2013 02:21 (twelve years ago)
oh sorry yeah i could've phrased it better. i mean songs that are structured like verse 1 / chorus / verse 1 / chorus.

no, but the way the chorus is a fugitive earworm thru the verses it does feel like it
plus there's "sheffield liverpool ipswich WHOA" to attend on

dancehall will have second verses more often than not. rare to find a third that isnt the first true but then these are trax as much as they are songs

I'm definitely not talking about "third verse, same as the first" songs with a distinct 2nd verse.

the church - under the milky way
― clouds, Sunday, 7 July 2013 16:21 (twelve years ago)
oh, ha, totally, I was thinking in terms of chords/structure; it doesn't really have a chorus distinct from the verses, but yeah, different words in different verses.
xp
― Esperanto, why don't you come to your senses? (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 7 July 2013 16:58 (twelve years ago)
"My Generation" does change keys on almost every verse though, it's in four different keys altogether - that's a very unusual musical feature.
― Lee626, Sunday, 7 July 2013 17:52 (twelve years ago)
Yeah, there's three key changes; first two verses and the bass solo are in the same key, next verse modulates up, verse after that modulates up again, epochal outro modulates up yet again.
Who even does that anymore, especially on a song like that?
― Esperanto, why don't you come to your senses? (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 7 July 2013 18:28 (twelve years ago)
was gonna say "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" but I think the single version has a diff second verse after the backwards bridge?
― thot police (fadanuf4erybody), Sunday, 7 July 2013 20:01 (twelve years ago)
julie grant's amazing cover of arthur alexander's "everyday i have to cry" is another great example of modulating up every verse (but not an example, sadly, of one verse repeated multiple times).

good call with "Orange Crush." seems like a lot of big R.E.M. hits from that era either repeat verses or have lots of repeating/similar lines ("Pop Song 89," "Stand," "Everybody Hurts").
