What is the Catchiest Hook of All Time?

[Peeps]

Jorge raises a good point about simplicity and repetition. A hook that stands alone in a vacuum.

But I still think that ABBA has the best hooks when you introduce context and resolution. Boney M is also a dark horse in this race. Don't you dare @ me.

river of babylon is simply amazing all around

macarena is easily top 3

after thinking about it, i think it has to be a michael jackson song. i'll go with 'the way you make me feel'

[Peeps]

i might also be pressed to say Ice Ice Baby despite it being a rip off

i feel like more people know the riff from it than under pressure

All literally one note, so it for sure fits the simplicity criteria

[Buby]

Walk like an Egyptian is pretty much made out of hooks.

Combining three of the catchiest hooks of all time, forming what’s called a “Mega Hook”, and becoming more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined.
