I know there was a thread for this somewhere, but I was thinking about this the other day.
Songs that have no chorus, just verses.
Others?

Samantha Jade - Never Tear Us Apart May as well cite INXS for that one as well, since Samantha's was a cover to promote the INXS mini-series they did here (Samantha played Kylie). |

Wouldn't the "Let's get unconscious honey..." be somewhat of a chorus for "Bedtime Story"? Granted, it's an unorthodox track for such a mainstream act.

^Yeah I'd say so, and Mer Girl has a part that could be identified as a chorus as well, which was accentuated on the Drowned World Tour medley. The closest thing to a Madonna song not having a chorus is Isaac because it's only humming and Isaac's vocals.
The worst offender in this subject is Alanis Morissette's Unsent, I absolutely detest that track as it does not resemble a proper song at all!

I think the INXS version had a chorus though Actually we should scratch 'Never Tear Us Apart' from the list altogether. There's nothing left out in Sammi's version, it's just a vastly different arrangement to the INXS original, which DOES have a chorus (it's just really short lyrically, and smashed right up against an equally short verse). |

grandlef- off the top of my head, what about "Sanctuary"?
"I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees..." is kinda a stretch for a chorus RE "Mer Girl"- but, it's yet another unorthodox track for Madonna.

"Stay," by Lisa Loeb comes to mind. The line you say I only hear what I want to could be considered a chorus, but it's the shortest chorus I've ever heard.

I feel like those songs have instrumental choruses.

Kelly Clarkson - Maybe, Irvine
She should try the no chorus thing more often.
