(The chorus always contains this phrase) This part is usually one of the simpler parts of a remix, but many have added freestyles and other creative elements to it.

Etymology

One of the popular Sparta Remixers, Jedi787plus (known as the founder of this wiki) popularized the term.
CloudNinja - This (DunDunDenDen) needs a better name tho
Krasen Mendiola - Maybe (After Chorus?)
