Been trying to listen to some modern music lately. It's just crazy how good the sound is. Not my style at all but... Anyway, Just goin through youtube and I found this... half a BILLION hits, so I said whats all the fuss. Band is Panic at The Disco. That is a hook and a half, You need a hook like that to have a hit...I think anyway. Pretty damn catchy tune, and the sound, unreal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPXIgEAGe4U

Hmm, I don't understand, are you saying the band name is the hook of a song, to me High hopes is the hook/title of this song, normally the hook of a song is the title or phrase that is repeated, to me anyway, maybe I'm wrong, all the best,john

Spoken like a lyricist only.... lol
No a hook is a combination of a lyrical phrase, and a melody. or could be anything

Thanks for the education, I guess even after writing over a hundred (hooks) that have attracted many musicians and topped soundclick charts and won a couple of cash prizes I was getting it wrong,plus the three guitars I have including my martin were no influence all the best,john

Seriously, maybe we miscommunicated, or I didnt read you right.
Why would the band name be the hook though?

So Japov, is the hook Frank Sinatra? I cant figure this out Yeah your up against it singing High Hopes... Several big songs have that title, but you cant say theyre wrong it went number one in less than a week. Actually Bruce did a cover of a different high hopes song. Kind of a rootsy rocker, pretty fin wild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHMNKejDo68

Not for my taste, but he has some good catchy songs.

Yeah I didnt know about them till yesterday either. Worth looking at cause its a pretty decent song, and having a hook like that, very catchy
and the views is mind bogglin. I dont care if its the worst artist out there, half a billion hits, you're doing something right.
Most of the stuff I tried listening to I didnt get past the first chorus.
