Just been listening to a bit of Garbage in the car, and it occurred to me that the chorus of Push It is basically just a cool riff, rather than words. Shirley’s whispering some words, but that’s definitely not the hook.

Any other sings like this? There’s probably loads, I’m just drawing a blank. It’s cool anyway, shows confidence in a very catchy riff.

the chorus of pretty much every Oh Sees song is just him shouting ‘WOO!’ and then turning on his distortion pedal

So many Pavement songs have wordless choruses. Lots on ‘Wowee Zowee’ with Malkmus’ guitar taking the lead for the chorus.
