Does anyone know how to refer to the parts of a song in Chinese? Such as "verse," "chorus," "bridge," "intro," etc. I can't seem to find this info in a dictionary and it's hard to explain to someone who doesn't know the terms in English.

hi danjo,

Found a few of those for you:

副歌 (fùgē) chorus

段 (duàn) verse

间奏 (jiànzòu) or 过门 (guòmén) bridge

前奏 (qiánzòu) intro

Hope that helps a bit!
