How about In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly?

I’m not sure how you’re supposed to parse it, but I see it as verse, then chorus, then repeat. I think you can see that as one verse sung twice.

The point of the song is of course Ron Bushy’s (may he rest in peace) drum solo.

A point I’m sure every older person knows but it just dawned on me…

I had absolutely no idea what that drummers name was. Weird, as I’m usually up on stuff like that.
