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?
