Best repeat choruses

[peanutbutter]

You know that thing loads of songs do near the end where they'll do the chorus and then do it again but bigger and they might do it a few more times, they might even fade out repeating it? What're your favourite uses of that?

Shangri-La by the Rutles. 

[Fr.Bigley]

Everywhere- Fleetwood Town FC

[Fr.Bigley]

The Great Beyond- Rapid Eye Movement

[wosl]

Fall On Me by Bingo Hand Job

[Aleister Growley]

The Move - Brontosaurus
They repeat the chorus at the end, but ramp the speed right up and turn it into a Jerry Lee Lewis style rocker. An absolute belter.

Brian Eno - Back in Judy's Jungle

"Paris 1919" by John Cale. I could listen to him going "You're a ghost of a la-la-la, la-la-la-la" forever

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

Religious Experience (Singing a Song in the Morning) by Kevin Ayers and (on guitar) Syd Barrett is ALL chorus. A joyous thing indeed.

'Faces' by Clio, one of the greatest pop choruses ever, ends with chorus, then instrumental chorus, then back into the full vocal chorus to fade out. No need for key changes or any tricks like that. Glorious.

My favourite repeat chorus moment is probably during the outro to 'Let's Make This Precious' by Dexys when it's already fading out and the glorious little flute solo kicks in just take the romantic ecstasy even higher.

I love the ferocity of the repeat chorus closing to Tropical Fuck Storm's 'You Let My Tyres Down'. It gets so intense that Gareth Liddiard starts wooping with abandon.

The Super Furries were mentioned upthread for TMDGAF, and their approach to choruses is often quite interesting. Many of their best songs (and singles) don't feature the full, signature chorus until right at the end, when it's repeated until fadeout.

If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You

Northern Lights (Which begins with a snippet of the closing chorus melody)

Ice Hockey Hair Or is that just an amazing coda?

[Inspector Norse]

Je Changerais D'Avis by Francoise Hardy (and Mina's original Se Telefonando, though I prefer the Hardy) has a brief, pretty verse, launches into the chorus, pauses... then thinks fuck it, let's ride the chorus out.

Teenage Fanclub's Norman 3 springs readily to mind.

[QDRPHNC]

Don't know if this counts, but I haven't been able to get the chorus of Feist's Any Party out of my head for a week.

Irritating!

Was going to suggest the Mina (which I prefer though love Hardy generally), but it's so short. When the tum tum tums come in it's ecstatic and then it immediately fades out. Grr

[Sebastian Cobb]

lil dicky - let me freak.

Harmoniser gets better, more aggressive with every verse.

Sia's Broken Glass - the second half of the song is basically the chorus repeated, including 2 upward key changes.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

They used the fade out repeating chorus on virtually every song on Suede's debut album.
