What is Chorus?

The last 50 seconds-1 minute of the album version of the song Monsoon, which is the English version of Durch den Monsun, by the German alternative-rock-pop sensation Tokio Hotel.

Bill Kaulitz, the younger of the Kaulitz twins, usually sings all the vocals, except during live performances when bassist, Georg Listing, backs-up. Also, during the song Raise Your Hands (German: Wo Sinde Eure Hande), guitarist-and-elder-twin, Tom Kaulitz, joins Georg and Bill in the chorus.

However, the Tom chorus is usually a reference to Tom's back-up vocals in track two (Monsoon) of the band's English Album: Scream. Tom sings a harmony during the last chorus of the song, creating a bit of low-voiced chaos behind Bill's vocals.

Monsoon can, of course, be found on YouTube, iTunes, and almost any other music site, given that it is one of Tokio Hotel's top English hits. The German version, however, does not have this back-up vocal effect, and, there is wide-spread controversy between TH fans about whether or not the vocals really are those of sexy hexy Tom, instead of a voice-over by Bill.

Most Tom-fans are fairly sure it's him singing, and have even edited out Bill's vocals before posting minute-long clips of the chorus on various websites. The low, guttural vocals do sound a lot more like Tom than Bill's usually clean (both singing and speaking), clipped tone. There are even versions where fans have edited out the crescendo of the instruments as well.

Note: One might say that the chorus in Raise Your Hands could also be called a Tom chorus, given that he sings in it. However, the explosion of noise created by the harmony in Monsoon, which is probably supposed to remind the listener of a monsoon, is much more noticeable than that of RYH.

"Running through the monsoon, beyond the world..."
Santi: "What are you listening to?"
Lexi: "Tokio Hotel, of course! I'm listening to the Tom chorus."
Santi: "The what?"
Lexi: "You know, where Tom is singing the chorus of Monsoon? Someone edited the original song by ramping up Tom's vocals and then they posted it on youtube. Love it."
Lotus: "I'm sure Santi doesn't want to know."
Lexi: "BUT GUYS! Tom's so sexii hexii! I'm like, irrevocably addicted to the Tom chorus!"

Chorus - what is it?

When you don't recognize a song until the chorus then you know it instantly.

Probably most likely due to 80s and 90s commercials for music compilations where they only played snippets of the catchy chorus but not the rest, and lack of access meant if you weren't already familiar with the song you only had the chorus to go by.

Can also apply to songs you only know as samples.

I didn't recognize Lovergirl until I got to the chorus, then I got Chorus Familiarity.

No, my child, the singing you heard through the wall was just the chorus of a prolonged goodbye. You can go back to sleep now.
But mum!

It's OK, child. Hush now and sleep tight.

chorus:
"I love you sweet woman and I'm far away. Where poisoned's my night and careless my day. You miss me and crave me, you pray for rain, my heart it is numb now, my limbs are lame. I forgot your name. I forgot your name. I forgot your name."

Chorus - definition

The middle, and usually best known, section of a song. The chorus is currently under protection by the Musical Wildlife Conservation Effort, or MWCE, after Tay Zonday used many of the remaining choruses in the wild for his song Chocolate Rain. Although Zonday has been forgiven for his overhunting of the chorus, choruses are now only allowed to be used by professional musicians.

"The chorus of that song really speaks to me"

"Why doesn't Stairway have a chorus?"

"The chorus of any Nickelback song is capable of murder most foul."

Chorus - slang

In music-

1) The repeating part of a rock, pop, or country song that the main verses lead up and return to, usually the section where the title of the song is sung.
2) A common electronic effect used for guitar and other audio which takes a copy of the original audio signal, delays it by a number of milliseconds, and plays it back with the original signal, resulting in a warmer, spacious sound.
3) An organized group of singers

1) In the Rolling Stones song "Honkey Tonk Women", the chorus goes like this: "It's the honkey tonk women, that give me, give me, give me, the honkey tonk blues."
