Best known for "I get knocked down, but I get up again". Thanks to the memes, most people can't get other verses of the song "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap rather than the part "hmm what you saaaay."."Blackfly", "Canning Salmon", and "Northwest Passage" are three. Many many folksongs and shanties and their ilk suffer from either this or the Second Verse Curse.(The musical stage version retains many of them.) Even more surprising are songs that got cut out of the film entirely, including "The Jitter Bug", "Happy Glow", and "The Ozphabet".Several of the songs from The Wizard of Oz have verses not used in the movie, including "Over The Rainbow", "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead", "If I Only Had a Brain/Heart/Nerve", and "The Merry Old Land Of Oz"."Closer" by Nine Inch Nails, to the point where most people refer to it as the fuck-you-like-an-animal song, which completely misses the point.As do "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside" and "Where did you get that hat?".Nobody remembers it under that title, either (HAL calls it "Daisy," but most people remember it as "A Bicycle Built For Two"), since only the verses mention a bell. "Daisy Bell", the song that HAL sings in 2001: A Space Odyssey, has verses.note Feeear is hooow I faaaall! Confuuuusing whaaaat is re-al!
"Crawling" by Linkin Park is infamous for its angsty chorus and little else in fact most only ever know the first line, note Craaaawling iiin my skiiiiin! the second is brought up occasionally, note These wooooounds, they wiiillll not heee-al! and almost never the 3rd or 4th."Yankee Doodle", of all things, has quite a few verses (specific regions and regiments came up with their own additional verses during The American Revolution), but nobody today remembers any more than the chorus.(For example, since at least 2009, The Beatles' "A Day in the Life" has been the song that segues into the refrain of "Give Peace a Chance".) The "forgotten verses" effect is perhaps heightened by the fact that current live concert performances of the song by Paul McCartney as a tribute to his former bandmate include only the familiar refrain, usually as part of a medley with another song.But it's understandable: the chorus is simple and timeless the verses are tonguetwisters, and they are less timeless. Since the chorus is only one couplet, repeated as necessary, that takes this trope near the limit. While the verses of "Killing in The Name" by Rage Against the Machine aren't quite as overlooked thanks to the ample repetition involved, almost everyone begins joining in once the bridge to "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" begins."Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence, without a doubt.That mainstay of the Last Night of the Proms, "Rule Britannia" has verses that no one knows, but they do know the chorus." Mijn schild ende betrouwen zjit gij O God mijn heer." note "Mijnheer" is what calls Nimja. Said sixth verse was also sung in Pokémon × Nimja: Play the Game in the episode "Dedicated To.".Some religious people know the sixth stanza as well, as it gets sung along with the first one on national holidays and days of commemoration in some churches. The Dutch national anthem, the 'Wilhelmus' has fifteen stanzas, one for every letter in the name of 'Willem van Nassov', who was an important person in Dutch history (Nassov being an contemporary orthographic variant of 'Nassou', the modern spelling of his name.) Most Dutch people only know the first stanza.Due to his training to seem like an American, he knew more of the national anthem than an actual American would. In Isaac Asimovs short story No Refuge Could Save, a German spy is revealed by his knowledge of the third verse.

Interestingly, the first verse ends on a question, asking whether the star-spangled banner still flies "o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." By ending on the first verse, we never find out if it still does.
