Today's Coffee Break has a simple theme - songs that start with the chorus.

Most songs follow the typical structure of starting with verse 1, then the chorus, verse 2, chorus, bridge, etc. But enough GREAT songs shake up the format and start with the chorus that we're in the mood to have some fun.

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that start with the chorus?
