Like you said it was catchy, it got stuck in your head, and it had to be played to get it out. Without a strong hook that would have just been an alright track that everyone soon forgot about. The hook held it together and gave people something to talk about and make parodies of - no publicity is bad publicity.

I like how you point out that it is about writing music that people can connect with instead of writing music that is somehow "intelligent". What's intelligent about music that fails to connect with people anyway? Great article!
