Songs that do the chorus too many times

In fairness he knows how shit that song is

Jason ‘Spaceman’ Pierce is guilty of this crime on occasion, particularly on ‘Stop Your Crying’ and ‘So Long You Pretty Thing’. Hammering it home “All Around The World” style, which is never a good thing.

Elsewhere, Meat Loaf’s otherwise mighty “Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are” could really do with at least 2 minutes trimmed off the end, wherein the chorus/title gets repeated again and again and again and AGAIN. JFC Steinman, we get the idea…

Know what I like in songs? When the second verse only has two lines then goes back into the chorus

Pixies were good at this:

Shake it off by Taylor swift goes on for precisely one chorus too many, I seem to remember deciding at the time.

I tell you who’s good at not milking the chorus usually: that Morrissey. Tends to be mean with his choruses, you never just get it repeated ad infinitum

was gonna say Gardenia by Iggy Pop but tbh it’s one of those songs where the chorus needs to just keep going forever, really. like TVC15.
