Becky G - Shower
Unless you consider a muffled "la da dee la da daa la da daa" in the background to be a chorus

Since my last post here I realized David Bowie's Ziggy Startdust is one of the best examples for this thread.

The original version to Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" is one song with no chorus.
The album versions to Eminem's "Guilty Conscience" and Queen Latifah's "Ladies First" didn't have a chorus. The latter did have a saxophone break in between verses and at the end of the song.

This old Woody Guthrie song is one of my all-time favorites. Such a happy sounding tune with such gut wrenching lyrics. A good story.

Marty Robbins - "El Paso" Narrative story songs like that one often lack traditional choruses. Some other hit examples include Harry Chapin's "Taxi" and "Sequel" ("Taxi" does have one verse repeated once, but that's arguably not enough to really qualify as a refrain or chorus) and Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (unless you consider the repeated guitar breaks the equivalent of a chorus.) The "drowning in the sea of love....when you build your house, call me home" part could qualify as a chorus, since it is heard twice. (Does Stevie Nicks think of it as such?) If "Sara" doesn't have a chorus, then arguably neither does "Gypsy", since the closest thing to that I can find is "You'll see your gypsy" repeated twice at two different points in the song.

Truffle butter by Nicki, Drake, and Lil Wayne doesn't have a clear chorus just an instrumental between each verse.

I feel like those songs have instrumental choruses. Yeah, forgive me for quoting such an old post, but I'm curious if the OP only meant songs with no lyrical chorus, or songs with no discernible chorus or refrain at all. Quite a few songs mentioned in here have a musical refrain, just no lyrics on top of it (like Regulate, Tom's Diner, or Truffle Butter). It's extremely hard to think of a song that has absolutely no refrain at all.

Maybe not lyrically, but it definitely had one instrumentally.

Not sure bout this but I think "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" counts as one.
