"I think the bridge he is referring to is part of the song... not being a musician I'm not sure, but isn't that the bit that leads into the chorus?"
Correct (ish) a bridge is a musical phrase (typically a few bars), that links 2 parts of a song together. So it could be a link between a verse and a chorus, but if it's short, this is typically called a pre-chorus.
Kinda hard to put into words, but you know when you hear one. I'm sure James Brown (amongst others) says "Take it to the bridge" in a lot of performances - so check out his stuff and you should get the idea  |

Yes and RIP Thunderclap.
(just listened to the song - it has 3 bridges, one after the first refrain when it modulates by a tone,(changes key), then another after the second refrain which leads to the middle passage of syncopated keyboards, then another to reprise the main theme and modulate another semi tone) |

"Chili peppers wrote the bridge, all saints was a cover version
Chilli peppers wrote under the bridge"
That doesn't fit the smart arse comment for April fools day |
