Where's the Hook?
by Kurt on Aug 17, 2002 at 5:06:36 am

I brought this up in my other thread... In Pop Music, the songs "Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry or "Mambo #5" by Lou Bega are good examples of songs that are built around a single phrase or repeated chords/rhythms. Or, I can think of a ton of Smooth Jazz tunes also...

Where's the Hook in such material?

Let's look at some specific examples. I'd like to take apart and analyze a simple song for starters and then look at something more complex and textured later.
