-->'''First chorus:''' A hero of war / Yeah, that's what I'll be / And when I come home / They'll be damn proud of me\\

-->'''First chorus:''' And nothing matters but the pain when you're alone / The never-ending nights when you're awake / When you're praying that tomorrow, it's okay\\

* There were two versions of Music/TheCharlieDanielsBand's "The Devil Went Down To Georgia," a single version for AM radio and the album version for FM radio. The AM version uses the finishing line "'Cause I told you once you son of a gun, I'm the best that's ever been" while the FM version says "I done told you once you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

** It's also done in another song from ''The Black Parade:'' "Dead!", which swaps the line in the second repeat of the chorus from "Wouldn't it be grand? it ain't exactly what you planned" to "Wouldn't it be grand to take [[BreadEggsMilkSquick a pistol by the hand?"]]

* The intro song to Music/PanicAtTheDisco's album ''Pray For The Wicked:'' [[PrecisionFStrike "(Fuck A) Silver Lining"]] has the chorus of "fuck a silver lining, fuck a silver lining, 'cause only gold is hot enough," but loudly bleeps it out in the final chorus for comedic effect... before immediately saying it again, without bleeping out the swear.

* "Can You Feel It" by The Apples In Stereo: "drown out the static on the FM radio" later becomes "drown out the [[PrecisionFStrike bullshit]] on the FM radio". The music video edit naturally omits this part. Smile'

** "If all his yarns restrict themselves to masculinity, Why, what a most particularly pure young man that pure young man must be."

* "Ancient Eyes" by Music/SteeleyeSpan is based on the opening scenes of early ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels in which the star turtle would be introduced, and especially the first such scene in ''Discworld/TheColourOfMagic''. One of the lines in the song is "Through a billion stars he flies", except in the final chorus it's "Through a billion stars she flies", referencing A'Tuin's AmbiguousGender, which was a plot point in TCOM.

* Creator/IsaacAsimov's "Literature/TheFoundationOfSFSuccess": A recurring rhyme in this [[{Poetry}} poem]] is "And all the fans will say, as you walk your [changes] way". The second-to-last word is either spatial, thoughtful, or narrow. The rhyme that follows is also clearly related, but changes even more dramatically each time it's used.

* For most of it's running time, Music/{{NOFX}}'s "Please Play This Song On The Radio" is a SelfDemonstratingSong about how radio-friendly the song itself is. Then after a FakeOutFadeOut, there's one last verse, which throws in some obscenities and mentions that if someone ''is'' playing the song on the radio at this moment, they'd better have switched to the next song by now... So of course the final chorus changes from [[TitleOnlyChorus "please play this song on the radio"]] to "You can't play this song on the radio".

* The chorus of "Gamma Unchained" by TheMegas ends with the line "I'll give you power, you take control," except at the end of the song, which replaces it with "What good is power if you're out of control?"

* ''WebVideo/LasagnaCat'' does this to ''Deep Blue Something'''s "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in an episode:
