"When Doves Cry" by Prince doesn't really have a chorus unless the "Maybe I'm just like..." sections are meant to be. If so, still not a typical pop song with distinct chorus. I don't think the song even has bass on it. Certainly not lacking in groove and attitude.
Motorhead style:
Ace of Spades - chorus: "The ace of spades, the ace of spades"
Overkill - chorus: "Overkill, Overkill, Overkill"
Bomber - "It's a bomber, it's a bomber"
etc
The music was hot, but my baby was not.
Roxy Music weren't much for choruses in their early days:
Virginia Plain
In Every Dream Home A Heartache
Pyjamarama
Street Life, possibly, they sing the line a couple of times halfway through but it's never repeated after that.
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name, Phantom Of The Opera. Hits? Who cares. No chorus, check.
Deep Purple - Child In Time
Many songs by Bob Dylan...
For that which is not,
there is no coming into being
and for that which is,
there is no ceasing to be;
yea of both of these the lookers into truth have seen an end.
Bhagavad Gita
No, there's a huge chorus in this song...
For that which is not,
there is no coming into being
and for that which is,
there is no ceasing to be;
yea of both of these the lookers into truth have seen an end.
Bhagavad Gita
Theme from Shaft
...but neither of his hits.
No chorus, no refrain, top 10 Billboard chart hit
I think the "feed your head" part that is repeated at the end could be considered a chorus(not sure).
Anyway, how about this little oddity from the sixties. And yes this actually was a hit.
Do not suffer through the game of chance that plays....always doors to lock away your dreams (To Be Over)
I' ve known this for 30 years, but there is definitely a chorus on this....
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
