什么是“钩子”？《德尔森词典》将其定义为“歌曲中反复出现的部分，有时是标题或关键歌词”（Hurst and Delson 1980, p. 58）。词曲作者Al Kasha和Joel Hirschhorn认为，钩子是“商业歌曲创作的基础，尤其是热门单曲创作”。钩子可能涉及重复“一个音符或一系列音符……（或）一个抒情短语、整行或整首诗”。关键在于“你在卖什么”。虽然一个钩子可以是像“声音”一样虚无缥缈的东西（比如da doo ron ron），但它实际上应该包含以下一个或多个：(a)一个驱动的、可跳舞的节奏；(b)留在人们脑海中的旋律；(c)进一步推动戏剧行动，或定义一个人或一个地方的歌词”（Kasha和Hirschhorn 1979， pp. 28,29）。
What is a ‘hook’? Delson's Dictionary defines it as ‘[t]hat part of a song, sometimes the title or key lyric line, that keeps recurring’ (Hurst and Delson 1980, p. 58). According to songwriters Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn, hooks are ‘the foundation of commercial songwriting, particularly hit-single writing’. Hooks may involve repetition of ‘one note or a series of notes … [or of] a lyric phrase, full lines or an entire verse’. The hook is ‘what you're selling’. Though a hook can be something as insubstantial as a ‘sound’ (such as da doo ron ron), ‘[i]deally [it] should contain one or more of the following: (a) a driving, danceable rhythm; (b) a melody that stays in people's minds; (c) a lyric that furthers the dramatic action, or defines a person or place’ (Kasha and Hirschhorn 1979, pp. 28, 29).
