"Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" is a grunge song written and performed by Mother Love Bone on their debut EP, Shine. It was featured on the soundtrack to the movie Singles. "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" is actually two songs sequenced together. "Crown of Thorns" is found by itself on the band's album, Apple. "Chloe Dancer" is not available as a stand alone track.

The song is critically acclaimed, and considered one of Mother Love Bone's best songs. Jason Josephes of Pitchfork Media described it as "one astoundingly great song."[1] Steven Rosen of The Denver Post referred to the song as "trancelike epic."[2] Spencer Patterson of the Las Vegas Sun comments that the song is "fantastically melancholy."[3] Essi Berelian of the Rough Music Guide writes that it is "beautifully swirling."[4] The Salt Lake Tribune found the song "eerie" and praised Andrew Wood's "powerful and emotive voice."[5] The song was included by Rolling Stone in their list of "The Fifty Best Songs Over Seven Minutes Long".[6]

Pearl Jam, which includes members of Mother Love Bone, has performed the song in concert many times, starting with the 10/22/00 show in Las Vegas, which was the tenth anniversary of Pearl Jam's first show. Two performances by Pearl Jam from 2005 and 2006 were issued on the Live at the Gorge 05/06 box set.
