A very commonly used musical resource that I knew

Hey hey everyone! This blog came out of some crazy talks with my friends — if you saw them, you’d think they should be locked in a white room 😇. Not because they’re dangerous, no no, but because of their wild ideas. Talking with them is pure madness; we can start with a simple “Hey, how’s it going?” and end up discussing the early days of the universe when light had trouble escaping the singularity. And that’s how we stumbled upon something I didn’t know before — not famous, but super common: the musical resource “NA NA NA.”

So, what’s this “NA NA NA” thing? Well, it’s simple but super used in music. It’s so common that sometimes it feels like one song copied another — but each artist gives it their own twist. Let’s check out some examples, starting with Rihanna – S&M, where this resource takes up almost 80% of the main theme. Yep, 80% of the song goes “NA NA NA.” Some say that’s exaggerated, but in other cases, the abuse is real — you’d be lucky to hear another syllable!

🎧 Rihanna – S&M

Eminem – Without Me.
Here we’ve got Eminem, and compared to Rihanna, the rhythm is totally different — two artists, two worlds. But the “NA NA NA” stays. Like I said, some use it more, others less. In this one, it’s not too crazy… or is it?

Daddy Yankee – Rompe.

Okay okay, this isn’t a top list or anything — I just picked them as they came up while exploring with Gemini AI. I didn’t even know this tool or these genres before! It gave me over 50 songs, so I grabbed a few from each type: the ones that barely use it, the moderate ones, and the ones that go all in. This one? Every two words you hear “NA NA NA.” Maybe I’m exaggerating, but the rhythm is, as they used to say, electrifying.

So tell me — did you know about this musical trick, the “NA NA NA”?
That’s the cool part of talking with people of different ages — I always learn something new for when I become the “future old guy” for the next generations 😇.
