"I rarely (if ever) heard of a 'hook' that was based on the lyrics of a song."
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.
