Let’s be honest, the most fun part of a good pop song is often when you get to belt out some “na na”s, “doo doo”s or “la la”s unabashedly. However, the nonsensical nature of these lyrics often makes it hard to remember which songs they came from in the first place. Fortunately for you, we assembled this Music Monday playlist full of the best nonsense syllable passages in popular music. So throw on these songs and enjoy being able to sing along with no fear of forgetting the words. Have something to add to our playlist? Share with us in the comments, below, or on Spotify, and we’ll add it. How to Share Your Song With Us 1. To follow Mashable on Spotify, click here. If a popup window asks you to launch an external application, accept. This just means the browser will open up Spotify. 2. Follow Mashable, or send us music by clicking “Send Music.” 3. To send music while browsing tracks within Spotify, follow the MashableHQ account. Then right-click (ctrl + click) on the song you want to send, and click the “Share” option. 4.

If “MashableHQ” doesn’t show up when you’re trying to send a track, make sure you’re following the account.

During the April 11 episode of Community, NBC is throwing a GIFathon, where viewers are encouraged to create and post GIFs on Tumblr using hashtag #Greendale GIFs. The best GIFs posted between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. ET will win prizes, NBC exclusively told Mashable. NBC is trying to harness its viewers who are active on Tumblr to bolster live viewing of the “Intro to Felt Surrogacy” episode. “Intro to Felt Surrogacy” features the cast as puppets and guest Sara Bareilles, so NBC is looking for for puppet-related GIFs. NBC describes the episode as such: The study group takes a wild balloon ride that crash lands in the woods and they end up spending some quality time together with a friendly mountain man (Jason Alexander of Seinfeld). GIFathon prizes include a signed script, season 3 DVD, puppet T-shirt, posters, stuffed “Being Human” mascot, Greendale white robe, duffle bag, Day Break CD, cast photo and mugs.
