[ "Chorus Familiarity" ]
1: 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.
* e.g., ... I didn't recognize Lovergirl until I got to the chorus, then I got Chorus Familiarity.

[ "Tom chorus" ]
1: 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.
* e.g., ... "Running through the monsoon, beyond the world..."
