[edit] "Spirit in the Sky"

I'm no expert on these things, but Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" might be a good example of the "simple verse" structure. Doesn't have a chorus as far as I can tell.--Stanky 14:22, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Surely the chorus is the bit that goes "Going on up to the spirit in the sky, that's where I'm gonna go" etc. It has the same tune as the verse so is an example of "Simple verse-chorus".

[edit] "Jailhuse Rock"

I notice Jailhouse Rock has been listed as "Simple verse". Surely it has a chorus? MFlet1 10:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "the chorus is highlighted"

This is true only for Contrasting verse-chorus form, but how is it possible for Simple verse form, wich does not contain a chorus? --A4 22:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "BYOB"

While it may not be a very accessible song, System of a Down's song "BYOB" is fairly unique in that the verses are fast and furious while the chorus is slower and more melodic, unlike most other songs of its genre. "Chop Suey!" is also like this. Maybe they should be mentioned for completeness? Just a thought. Raikoh Minamoto (talk) 02:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
