Songs With No Words in the Chorus

Wordless Chorus - My Morning Jacket


I was gonna put Ain't No Easy Way by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, but he pretty much says it the entire time, even though during the cool slide guitar/harmonica parts there are no words.


Either way, lets hear them.

Hmmmm..

Seven Nation Army?

Bob Dylan had a lot of songs that were structured like poems and the choruses were pretty much guitar bridges or harmonica solos: "Visions of Johanna", "Tangled Up In Blue", "Buckets of Rain", etc.

[Jerk Shapiro]

Ha. My pick was Wordless Chorus, of course. Can't think of any others right now...

"Hush" - Deep Purple
"Brown Eyed Girl" - Van Morrison

"Sweet Emotion" - Aerosmith

""Sweet Emotion" - Aerosmith


See, I was gonna say this one too, but they actually sing Sweet Emotion in the song, so i dont know.

Foo Fighters-"Exhausted"

[The Postmaster General]

"Little Music Box Dancer" - Ray Conniff, music by Frank Mills
"Tom's Diner" - Suzanne Vega (not words, just a bunch of Doo Doos)

Those are all I can really think of. This topic came up the other day because I was looking for the song Music Box Dancer, not knowing the title and it not having lyrics, and when eventually finding it, came across the Ray Conniff version, that has lyrics --- According to wikipedia, Conniff helped popularize the songs without lyrics in the chorus style. Believe that or not, I thought of this thread.
