Great songs that break the rules

It seems like one long verse to me--no real chorus or bridge.

How about "American woman"? Wasn't that a one chord song? verse and chorus were almost interchangable.

Quote:How about "American woman"? Wasn't that a one chord song? verse and chorus were almost interchangable.Actually two chords, so it's tied with "Pushing Too Hard." Much more sophisticated recording, though!Ern

Has anyone had songs forwarded, that break the same rules that some of these examples do?

Among the songs I got forwarded for a folk listing was Waitin' For A Sign, which has a one-line prechorus chorus that is the same as the verse, but folk may have looser structure strictures than pop or country.

Best stretch to make a rhyme...In the song, "Lodi" by Creedence, the first 2 lines of every verse rhyme. Now look at these first 2 lines of verse 2:Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go.I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more. Just how can "go" rhyme with "more"?? Fogerty pronounces it as "moe"!! Casey

How 'bout "Losing My Religion" by REM? Great song, but the chorus differentiation isn't much. Casey
