Everyone knows at least one of these.

Nice avy.

Cool site. I'll read more when I finish Swanking.

Swank:

Thank me later.

Yah, itch, oh well.

I came up with this one a while ago, it breaks the 1-letter rule (2 letters replace one):

splashback: the inevitable effect of using a urinal

Not to be the grammar police, but you spelled spank wrong.

Here's a fun game...

POST HIT SONGS THAT HAVE NO LYRICAL CONTENT IN THE CHORUS
-Can't be an instrumental/classical song
-Must have regular lyrics in the verses and/or bridge, but the chorus is just oooo's, ahhhh's, or nonsense words

And.... go!

I was following the 1-letter change thingy.

And if you noticed the typo first, then you failed a certain popular internet test.

Maybe my favorite Boss song, no chorus lyrics...

The band's first single to chart in the US

Well done, Puck. Love the song - actually bought it on iTunes after listening for like 60 seconds. But man... that dude's teeth....that is a SHOW.

I feel like U2 and Coldplay both have an entry in this category, but I can't pull it yet. Coldplay likes to do nonsense in the first half of the chorus and then add some words later in the chorus. "Clocks" is very close, but not quite.

Hmmm, that's a tough one eloco, this doesn't quite qualify, but comes close enough, I reckon...

[elocomotive]

So many close calls..

Spandau Ballet - True
Blur - Song 2
Coldplay - Clocks

The chorus has lyrics, but the famous part of them doesn't.

(EDIT - Yeah, Dash, I think that song would fall in the same category as those I've listed here. The part people know is the nonsense section, but there are lyrics. This is harder than I thought initially.)

 

[puckhead]

lots of em that have half jibberish, tough to find full choruses of nothin'

a few that come close:
Beatles - Obla-di
Police - Doo doo doo, da da da
Rolling Stones - doo doo doo (heartbreaker)


hah! got another one!
