“From YESTERDAY”

10. Mel C: If That Were Me
“How DID YOU FALL?”
ANSWER:
If you answered
“Holy f&*k they’ve all got the same hook in the chorus melody”
then you would be absolutely correct! Congratulations!

could be a catchy lyrical line ("all day I dream about sex")
a smokin' riff (e.g. the one that kids play in guitar shops)
a magical motif (e.g. the intro to 'Grace')
or anything, really ("Give it to me baby, Uh-huh uh-huh!")
If you can't pick out the hook, it's usually because the song is either so unreal that everything hooks, or so crap that it doesn't have any point of interest that distinguishes it from anything.
Happy hooking!
