That can get old quickly, so we drew inspiration from Twitter user Jen Monnier and put together a list of 11 songs with 20-second choruses — along with one bonus track. We included some of Monnier's picks along with our own finds.
"Truth Hurts" by Lizzo
"Shots" by LMFAO ft. Lil Jon
"Love on Top" by Beyonce
"Raspberry Beret" by Prince
"Juicy" by Doja Cat
