---->Danny, don't you know that you are hot as fuck on the inside?\\
Everybody knows the best bananas will be ripe with time\\
Danny, don't you know that you kick so much ass on the inside?
*** Then his teenage to young adult years:
---->Danny, don't you know that you are cool as fuck on the inside?\\
You're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29\\
Danny, don't you know that everyone feels weird on the inside?
*** Then finally, his current rock star adult self:
---->Danny, don't you know that we're all rad as fuck on the inside?\\
Now it's time to rock the show, come on you are a star tonight\\
Danny, don't you know that you're a spandex butterfly for life
*** The one similarity is that each chorus ends with a repetition of "Danny don't you know" three times.
** "Heart Boner" changes the chorus three times, featuring slightly different {{Double Entendre}}s in each one. The first chorus:
---->I've got a heart boner for you\\

This heart boner's for you
*** The second chorus:
---->I've got a heart boner tonight\\
Feel my love pants growing tight\\
I wanna plug you with respect all through the night\\
I'll bust a nut of joy and light
*** And the third one, which is more similar to the first chorus:
---->This heart boner's for you\\
I stand before you thick and true\\
I'll shoot a wad of gleaming romance just for you\\
This heart boner's for you

Should have gave you all my hours\\
When I had the chance\\
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance\\
Now my baby's dancing\\
But she's dancing with another man.

The third chorus changes this to two repetitions of "They think she did it but they just can't prove it", meaning the police suspect the mistress of murdering the man involved. The third line is "She thinks I did it but she just can't prove it", meaning the mistress suspects Taylor of his murder. Finally the song ends with "I wasn't letting up until the day he died."

Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry"\\
Five days since you laughed at me\\
Saying, "Get that together, come back and see me"\\

I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you\\
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me\\
But it'll still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry
** Second verse:
--->It's been one week since you looked at me\\
Threw your arms in the air and said, "You're crazy"\\
Five days since you tackled me\\
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees\\

You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon\\
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me\\
And now I sit back and wait 'til you say you're sorry
** Third verse:
--->It's been one week since you looked at me\\
Dropped your arms to the sides and said, "I'm sorry"\\
Five days since I laughed at you and said\\
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"\\
Three days since the living room\\
We realized we're both to blame but what could we do?\\
Yesterday, you just smiled at me\\
'Cause it'll still be two days 'til we say we're sorry

Well, don't let me out of your sight.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite.\\
So, don't let me have any rights.
** Second verse:
--->'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be,\\
'cause they won't let me drive late at night.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak,\\
'cause they all sit and stare with their eyes.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me.\\
Just your typical prototype.
** Third verse:
--->I'm just a girl living in captivity.\\
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome.\\
I'm just a girl. What's my destiny?\\
What I've succumbed to is making me numb.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies.\\
What I've become is so burdensome.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, lucky me.\\
Tweedle Dum, there's no comparison.
* In Music/{{Smokie}}'s "Living Next Door to Alice" the chorus's last line is "Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice". Except in the final repetition, where it goes like this:

Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three\\
And I'm still more amused by TV shows\\
What the hell is A.D.D.?\\
My friends say I should act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?

--->And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me\\
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three\\
And I'm still more amused by prank phone calls\\
What the hell is call ID?\\
My friends say I should act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?
** After the guitar solo at the bridge, the chorus plays twice:
--->And that's about the time she walked away from me\\
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three\\
And you still act like you're in freshman year\\
What the hell is wrong with me?\\
My friends say I should act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?\\
That's about the time she broke up with me\\
No one should take themselves so seriously\\
With many years ahead to fall in line\\
Why would you wish that on me?\\
I never want to act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?
* Music/BowlingForSoup:
** "Highschool Never Ends" makes minor shifts to the chorus.
*** It starts out as:
--->You still don't have the right look, and you don't have the right friends;\\
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends,\\
Highschool Never Ends
*** Then changes to:
--->You still don't have the right look, and you don't have the right friends,\\
and you still listen to the same shit you did back then,\\
Highschool Never Ends
*** Which finally becomes:
--->And I still don't have the right look, and I still have the same three friends,\\
and I'm pretty much the same as I was back then,\\
Highschool Never Ends
** "Girl All the Bad Boys Want" starts with this chorus about [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Mona's type in men]]:
--->Cause she is watchin' wrestling\\
Creamin' over tough guys\\
Listenin' to rap metal\\
Turntables in her eyes\\
It's like a bad movie\\
She is lookin' through me\\
If you were me, then you'd be\\
Screamin' someone shoot me\\
As I fail miserably\\
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want
*** The next chorus adds new lyrics in between "Turntables in her eyes" and "It's like a bad movie":
--->She likes 'em with a mustache\\
Racetrack season pass\\
Drivin' in a Trans-Am\\
Does a mullet make a man?
*** The final chorus changes (the "It's like a bad movie" line onward remains the same) to describe how Mona's type of men does ''not'' fit the singer at all:
--->Now I am watchin' wrestling\\
Tryin' to be a tough guy\\
Listenin' to rap metal\\
Turntables in my eyes\\
I can't grow a mustache\\
And I ain't got no season pass\\
All I got's a moped... moped... moped...
* "Summer Of '69" by Music/BryanAdams changes all but the last line of the chorus between the first and second verses and the second line between the second and third.
** First verse:
--->But when I look back now,\\
that summer seemed to last forever.\\
And if I had the choice,\\
yeah, if there was one, I'd be there.\\
Those were the best days of my life.
** Second verse:
--->Standing on your mama's porch,\\
you told me that you'd wait forever.\\
Oh, and when you held my hand,\\
I knew that it was now or never.\\
Those were the best days of my life.
** Third verse:
--->Standing on your mama's porch,\\
you told me that it'd last forever.\\
Oh, and when you held my hand,\\
I knew that it was now or never.\\
Those were the best days of my life.

** First verse:

** Second verse:
--->She's been lying. And I've been thinking.
** Third verse, sung with more anguish:
--->She's been dying. And I've been drinking.
* "Funny You Should Ask" by Music/TheFrontBottoms modifies the chorus slightly to reflect a very different context each time.
** The verse is talking about innocent young love and the chorus goes:
--->'Cause I was young,\\
I thought I didn't have to care about any''thing''\\
but I'm older now and know that I should\\
'Cause I was young,\\
I thought I didn't have to care about anything\\
but I'm older now and know that I should
** The second verse is filled with resentment against an ex-girlfriend and the following chorus changes to:
--->But ''you'' were young,\\
you thought you didn't have to care about any''one''\\
but you're older now and ''wish that you could''\\
'Cause you were young\\
you thought you didn't have to care about anyone\\
but you're older now and know that you should
** The last chorus is similar to the second one but switches back to first person perspective.
* Music/{{U2}}:
** The chorus of "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" ends with the lines "Who's gonna ride your wild horses?/Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?" after the first two verses. After the bridge, the chorus ends with the lines "Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?/Who's gonna take the place of me?"
** The next to last line in the chorus of "Last Night on Earth" changes with each verse. After the first, it's "She doesn't care what it's worth." After the second, it's "She knows just what it's worth." After the third, it's "She already knows it hurts."
** "If God Will Send His Angels" has the second line in the chorus change from "And if God will send a sign." in the first two verses to "I sure could use them here right now." in the third.
* Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want" has the chorus say "He is everything you want. He is everything you need./He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be./He says all the right things at exactly the right time/but he means nothing to you and you don't know why." At the end, the singer reveals that he's actually singing about himself in the chorus by changing all uses of "He is" to "I am". The last line becomes "but I mean nothing to you and I don't know why."
* Music/NickCave's "The Mercy Seat", about a man about to be executed, repeats its chorus ''14 times in a row'' at the end of the song, changing a few words every time, but mostly ending on "Anyway I told the truth, and I'm not afraid to die." Until the final repitition, just before the song comes to a grinding halt:
-->''And anyway I told the truth\\
But I'm afraid I told a lie...''
* Music/DonMcLean's "Vincent" uses this to heartbreaking effect, while talking about Vincent van Gogh's work and struggles with mental illness. At first, the chorus reassures its subject that "They would not listen, they did not know how/[[DeadArtistsAreBetter Perhaps they'll listen now]]". At the end of the song he realizes that for all of van Gogh's posthumous fame, he's still seen as "crazy" and mental illness is still just as stigmatized, and concludes "They would not listen, they're not listening still/Perhaps they never will."

Don't want anyone to see [[TeenyWeenie my little guy]]." The final chorus, however, changes the last lines to "I want to [[GoToTheEuphemism drain the vain]], 'cause I'm getting [[BuffySpeak groinal]] pain. I'm gonna have to queue for the cubicle again."

* Music/NinjaSexParty:
** "Danny Don't You Know" changes its chorus three times as the older Danny encourages his younger self that he's cooler than he thinks he is, starting with Danny in his early pubescent years:
---->Danny, don't you know that you are hot as fuck on the inside?\\
Everybody knows the best bananas will be ripe with time\\
Danny, don't you know that you kick so much ass on the inside?
*** Then his teenage to young adult years:
---->Danny, don't you know that you are cool as fuck on the inside?\\
You're just going through an awkward phase from 12 to 29\\
Danny, don't you know that everyone feels weird on the inside?
*** Then finally, his current rock star adult self:
---->Danny, don't you know that we're all rad as fuck on the inside?\\
Now it's time to rock the show, come on you are a star tonight\\
Danny, don't you know that you're a spandex butterfly for life
*** The one similarity is that each chorus ends with a repetition of "Danny don't you know" three times.
** "Heart Boner" changes the chorus three times, featuring slightly different {{Double Entendre}}s in each one. The first chorus:
---->I've got a heart boner for you\\
I stand before you stiff and true\\
I wanna blast a load of feelings onto you\\
This heart boner's for you
*** The second chorus:
---->I've got a heart boner tonight\\
Feel my love pants growing tight\\
I wanna plug you with respect all through the night\\
I'll bust a nut of joy and light
*** And the third one, which is more similar to the first chorus:
---->This heart boner's for you\\
I stand before you thick and true\\
I'll shoot a wad of gleaming romance just for you\\
This heart boner's for you
* ''Music/{{Songdrops}}'':
** The chorus to "Skunkles the Christmas Skunk" usually has the line "He rides in the sleigh and he [[DefiedTrope tries not]] to [[SmellySkunk spray]]", but later the line changes to "He's [[SantaClaus Santa]]'s copilot, though he never gets to fly it."
** The chorus to "The [[ScaryScienceWords Dihydrogen Monoxide]] Song" changes its third line every time. First it's "It's showing up in rivers far and wide", then "It seeps through your skin when it's hot outside", then "It's hard to wash off when it's liquefied", then "Apples test high for it unless they're dried", then finally "Levels increase at high tide".
* Stanley Carter's song "You're Not the Only Pebble on the Beach" has the song title as the only line in the chorus that stays the same, and eventually, that changes to "He's not the only pebble on the beach" in the final chorus.
* Music/WeirdAlYankovic does this with almost every song he does. Take "Eat It" for example.
** First verse:
--->Just eat it. (Eat it). Eat it. (Eat It)\\
Get yourself an egg and beat it.\\
Have some more chicken. Have some more pie.\\
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried.
** Second verse:
--->Just eat it. (Eat it). Eat it. (Eat it)\\
Open up your mouth and feed it.\\
Have some more yogurt. Have some more spam.\\
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned.

* In Banjo Band's song "Jozin z bazin", the first two choruses are the same, about how dangerous the swamp monster Jozin is and how hard it is to defeat him. The last chorus is about the main character defeating Jozin and selling him to the zoo.
* Music/BlakeShelton's "Austin" is about a woman [[TelephoneSong calling her ex's number]], and the chorus is his voice message. The message is different each time, but each one ends with "And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you". The final chorus is when he calls her back and she imitates his voice messages, ending with "Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you"
* Each repetition of the chorus of Music/JimmyBuffett's song "Margaritaville" ends differently as the narrator gains more self-awareness. The first three lines are always

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
** First chorus ends:
--->But I know it's nobody's fault.

** Final chorus:
--->But I know it's my own damn fault.

The third line is "She thinks I did it but she just can't prove it", meaning the mistress suspects Taylor of his murder. Finally the song ends with "I wasn't letting up until the day he died."

* Music/BarenakedLadies' song "One Week" has a chorus where some lines change:
** First verse:
--->It's been one week since you looked at me\\
Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry"\\
Five days since you laughed at me\\
Saying, "Get that together, come back and see me"\\
Three days since the living room\\
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you\\
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me\\
But it'll still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry
** Second verse:
--->It's been one week since you looked at me\\
Threw your arms in the air and said, "You're crazy"\\
Five days since you tackled me\\
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees\\
It's been three days since the afternoon\\
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon\\
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me\\
And now I sit back and wait 'til you say you're sorry
** Third verse:
--->It's been one week since you looked at me\\
Dropped your arms to the sides and said, "I'm sorry"\\
Five days since I laughed at you and said\\
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"\\
Three days since the living room\\
We realized we're both to blame but what could we do?\\
Yesterday, you just smiled at me\\
'Cause it'll still be two days 'til we say we're sorry
* "Viva La Vida" by {{Music/Coldplay}}:
** The last four lines of the first chorus:
--->For some reason I can't explain\\
Once you'd gone, there was never\\
Never an honest word\\
But that was when I ruled the world
** The last four lines of the remaining choruses:
--->For some reason I can't explain\\
I know Saint Peter won't call my name\\
Never an honest word\\
But that was when I ruled the world
* In the chorus of "Just A Girl" by Music/NoDoubt, the phrase "I'm just a girl" is the only line that's consistent between verses:
** First verse:
--->'Cause I'm just a girl, a little 'ol me.\\
Well, don't let me out of your sight.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite.\\
So, don't let me have any rights.
** Second verse:
--->'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be,\\
'cause they won't let me drive late at night.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak,\\
'cause they all sit and stare with their eyes.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, take a good look at me.\\
Just your typical prototype.
** Third verse:
--->I'm just a girl living in captivity.\\
Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome.\\
I'm just a girl. What's my destiny?\\
What I've succumbed to is making me numb.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies.\\
What I've become is so burdensome.\\
Oh, I'm just a girl, lucky me.\\
Tweedle Dum, there's no comparison.
* In Music/{{Smokie}}'s "Living Next Door to Alice" the chorus's last line is "Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice". Except in the final repetition, where it goes like this:
-->But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...\\
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.

* In "Heat of the Moment" by the rock band Music/{{Asia}}, the final chorus just repeats "Heat of the moment." Also, the second chorus omits the line "Telling me what your heart meant"
* The chorus of Music/Blink182's song "What's My Age Again?" changes after every verse:
** First chorus:
--->And that's about the time she walked away from me\\
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three\\
And I'm still more amused by TV shows\\
What the hell is A.D.D.?\\
My friends say I should act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?
** Second chorus:
--->And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me\\
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three\\
And I'm still more amused by prank phone calls\\
What the hell is call ID?\\
My friends say I should act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?
** After the guitar solo at the bridge, the chorus plays twice:
--->And that's about the time she walked away from me\\
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three\\
And you still act like you're in freshman year\\
What the hell is wrong with me?\\
My friends say I should act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?\\
That's about the time she broke up with me\\
No one should take themselves so seriously\\
With many years ahead to fall in line\\
Why would you wish that on me?\\
I never want to act my age\\
What's my age again, what's my age again?
* Music/BowlingForSoup:
** "Highschool Never Ends" makes minor shifts to the chorus.
*** It starts out as:
--->You still don't have the right look, and you don't have the right friends;\\
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends,\\
Highschool Never Ends
*** Then changes to:
--->You still don't have the right look, and you don't have the right friends,\\
and you still listen to the same shit you did back then,\\
Highschool Never Ends
*** Which finally becomes:
--->And I still don't have the right look, and I still have the same three friends,\\
and I'm pretty much the same as I was back then,\\
Highschool Never Ends
** "Girl All the Bad Boys Want" starts with this chorus about [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Mona's type in men]]:
--->Cause she is watchin' wrestling\\
Creamin' over tough guys\\
Listenin' to rap metal\\
Turntables in her eyes\\
It's like a bad movie\\
She is lookin' through me\\
If you were me, then you'd be\\
Screamin' someone shoot me\\
As I fail miserably\\
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want
*** The next chorus adds new lyrics in between "Turntables in her eyes" and "It's like a bad movie":
--->She likes 'em with a mustache\\
Racetrack season pass\\
Drivin' in a Trans-Am\\
Does a mullet make a man?
*** The final chorus changes (the "It's like a bad movie" line onward remains the same) to describe how Mona's type of men does ''not'' fit the singer at all:
--->Now I am watchin' wrestling\\
Tryin' to be a tough guy\\
Listenin' to rap metal\\
Turntables in my eyes\\
I can't grow a mustache\\
And I ain't got no season pass\\
All I got's a moped... moped... moped...
* "Summer Of '69" by Music/BryanAdams changes all but the last line of the chorus between the first and second verses and the second line between the second and third.
** First verse:
--->But when I look back now,\\
that summer seemed to last forever.\\
And if I had the choice,\\
yeah, if there was one, I'd be there.\\
Those were the best days of my life.
** Second verse:
--->Standing on your mama's porch,\\
you told me that you'd wait forever.\\
Oh, and when you held my hand,\\
I knew that it was now or never.\\
Those were the best days of my life.
** Third verse:
--->Standing on your mama's porch,\\
you told me that it'd last forever.\\
Oh, and when you held my hand,\\
I knew that it was now or never.\\
Those were the best days of my life.
* "Rain King" by Music/CountingCrows changes two words in the third line of the chorus with each verse:
** First verse:
--->She's been crying. And I've been sinking.
** Second verse:
--->She's been lying. And I've been thinking.
** Third verse, sung with more anguish:
--->She's been dying. And I've been drinking.
* "Funny You Should Ask" by Music/TheFrontBottoms modifies the chorus slightly to reflect a very different context each time.
** The verse is talking about innocent young love and the chorus goes:
--->'Cause I was young,\\
I thought I didn't have to care about any''thing''\\
but I'm older now and know that I should\\
'Cause I was young,\\
I thought I didn't have to care about anything\\
but I'm older now and know that I should
** The second verse is filled with resentment against an ex-girlfriend and the following chorus changes to:
--->But ''you'' were young,\\
you thought you didn't have to care about any''one''\\
but you're older now and ''wish that you could''\\
'Cause you were young\\
you thought you didn't have to care about anyone\\
but you're older now and know that you should
** The last chorus is similar to the second one but switches back to first person perspective.
* Music/{{U2}}:
** The chorus of "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" ends with the lines "Who's gonna ride your wild horses?/Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?" after the first two verses. After the bridge, the chorus ends with the lines "Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?/Who's gonna take the place of me?"
** The next to last line in the chorus of "Last Night on Earth" changes with each verse. After the first, it's "She doesn't care what it's worth." After the second, it's "She knows just what it's worth." After the third, it's "She already knows it hurts."
** "If God Will Send His Angels" has the second line in the chorus change from "And if God will send a sign." in the first two verses to "I sure could use them here right now." in the third.
* Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want" has the chorus say "He is everything you want. He is everything you need./He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be./He says all the right things at exactly the right time/but he means nothing to you and you don't know why." At the end, the singer reveals that he's actually singing about himself in the chorus by changing all uses of "He is" to "I am". The last line becomes "but I mean nothing to you and I don't know why."
* Music/NickCave's "The Mercy Seat", about a man about to be executed, repeats its chorus ''14 times in a row'' at the end of the song, changing a few words every time, but mostly ending on "Anyway I told the truth, and I'm not afraid to die." Until the final repitition, just before the song comes to a grinding halt:
-->''And anyway I told the truth\\
But I'm afraid I told a lie...''
* Music/DonMcLean's "Vincent" uses this to heartbreaking effect, while talking about Vincent van Gogh's work and struggles with mental illness. At first, the chorus reassures its subject that "They would not listen, they did not know how/[[DeadArtistsAreBetter Perhaps they'll listen now]]". At the end of the song he realizes that for all of van Gogh's posthumous fame, he's still seen as "crazy" and mental illness is still just as stigmatized, and concludes "They would not listen, they're not listening still/Perhaps they never will."
