Most people think of choruses as the part of a song which doesn't change. However, there are always exceptions, and this trope is for those exceptions. Sometimes, the chorus will change a little every time. This is usually used for comedy, to make the song more interesting, or to make the song follow a storyline. Other times, the song will mainly stay the same, but have one chorus that's a bit different. This is usually at the end, and it might be because the story has finished, so one of the lines is no longer true (e.g. "I'm waiting for the bus" might turn into "I waited for the bus" in the final chorus). Compare Truck Driver's Gear Change, where a song modulates upward, Small Start, Big Finish for when the song's intensity rises, and Dual-Meaning Chorus for when the meaning of the chorus changes. Can overlap with Expository Pronoun or Character Development. Often happens in an Age-Progression Song. Compare Mad Libs Catchphrase. Contrast Limited Lyrics Song. |

35MM: A Musical Exhibition: The chorus of "Cut You a Piece" first goes "I cut you a piece of me, I cut you a piece of me./And where you go I will go too./Yes, I am now a part of you." After describing Jessie's death in a car crash, it changes the last line to "I lost my life when I lost you." The final choruses, sung by another couple, take a bittersweet approach to the story: "The Ballad of Sara Berry," about an Alpha Bitch's desperate attempts to be prom queen, has the first two choruses sung as thus: But the third verse, which occurs after Sara has undergone Sanity Slippage and killed all her rivals to become prom queen, describes her "triumph": It's then followed by yet another chorus, describing how Sara was arrested and lost everything she was fighting for: |

"Lifelight", the main theme for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, starts with a rather pessimistic chorus detailing the characters predicament at the start of the "World of Light" story mode. However, this later changes to a more optimistic version as the characters band together to face the challenge ahead of them. First version: Second version: |

Animaniacs: In "The Monkey Song", the only consistent line in the chorus is "I don't know what to say! The monkeys won't do!", and even that gets changed to "We don't know what to say! The Warners won't do!" at the end. In "Shnitzelbank", each chorus is a list of items pointed out in the previous verse, followed by "O de schone, o de schone, o de schone schnitzelbank." |

In Sesame Street: The song "Be-Doodle-De-Dum" usually has "It's such a good thing to say" in the chorus, but the last one changes it to "An excellent thing to say." The song "Accidents Happen" mainly has a consistent chorus, but in some verses, the line "Night or day" is repeated and other times it's followed by "They happen night or day". "You've Got to Be Patient to Be a Patient" not only has a changing chorus, but several different versions. In the version sung to Big Bird, for instance, one chorus mentions "taking medicine and eating off a tray", while in the one with the little girl, this isn't mentioned. The only thing common amongst all choruses in all versions is the song title, plus all the rhymes are "-ay" words (say, play, day, way, etc). |

In the animated adaptation of Loskutik And The Cloud, the horse's second song has a chorus that only includes one phrase that always gets repeated: "And what else can one wish, and what else can one dream of?" After that phrase, each repetition of the chorus describes a different thing the horse dreams of: a cold brook in the first chorus, rain, fresh leaves and flowers in the second, a sea and clouds in the sky in the third. | |

Italian and Japanese dubs of Little Einsteins have every verse of the theme song different, compared to the same two verses before and after the Truck Driver's Gear Change (present in pretty much every dub). The Italian 1st/2nd verse and 3rd/4th verse "We're going on a trip, Climb aboard, etc." follows. | |

In Les Misérables, the chorus to "Red and Black" changes depending on who's singing it. The first and third time, it's a revolutionary anthem sung by political leader Enjolras inspiring people to ignore their personal problems and go fight at the barricades. The second time, it's a duet with the "Red—, Black—" portions sung by Enjolras, while Marius sings the other parts to talk about his romantic troubles and his conflict about whether to go fight or seek his love. The last time, the chorus becomes a Crowd Song that repeats the first version, where everyone proclaims their determination to go fight. | |

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth: The game's opening theme, "Road Less Taken." While retaining the same metaphors and general theme of individuality, the first and second choruses have some slightly different lyrics. The third time the chorus is sung, it's based on the second one, but has a new perspective and changes "you" to "we" (i.e. "the road less taken could be where you're meant to be" becomes "the road less taken could be where we're meant to be"). | |

The chorus of "All You Wanna Do" in Six: The Musical changes in accordance with who is trying to sleep with Katherine Howard at this stage of her life. However, it's most noticeable with Thomas Culpeper where the entire chorus changes to reflect the fact she realizes Culpeper (and all the other men in her life) only want to sleep with her. Similarly, the previous choruses are generally more upbeat but by the time she reaches the last one, poor Katherine is in tears because the one man she thought was her friend has all but forced himself on her. (And this leads to her beheading.) | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Babs Seed" from "One Bad Apple", the second chorus pauses to add non-chorus lyrics, then when it resumes, it repeats the "She's just a bad, bad" line twice before ending. In "Winter Wrap-Up" from the episode of the same name, the first chorus says, "Winter wrap-up, winter wrap-up" only twice, but the second chorus says it three times, then three times again for the third, and the third one says, "'Cause tomorrow, spring is here" several times instead of twice. |
