Really?

Police/Sting, Bob Marley, U2, RHCP and thousands of others had/have earworm lyric based hooks.


“When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all.”

Still my favorite opening line ever. There are a couple thousand from Stephen Foster, James Brown, The Beatles, Buddy Holly etc. vying for second place, I suppose.

I didn’t think much of the rest of Kodachrome® but that first line caused me to run down to Tower Records and buy There Goes Rhymin’ Simon in 1973. It wasn’t the music.
