Using Musical Hooks in a Song

There are of course many example of songs where different types of hooks are used. Using different musical hooks can make a song irresistibly interesting.

Madonna's multi-platinum hit 'Music' (from year 2000) is of those songs that exposes nearly nothing but hooks.

The song hits an underlying musical hook (reminiscent of the organ riff in The Animals '60s hit, 'It's My Life') combined with an unstoppable groove created by Miruais Ahmadzai (who co-wrote the track with Madonna).

Of course too many musical hooks can spoil a song, but over here you have some pretty cool lyrical content (though not clever - simply 'cool') to even out the pitch.
