KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -A hook is a musical idea, often a short riff, passage, or phrase, that is used in popular music to make a song appealing and to “catch the ear of the listener".

Detailed explanation-2: -A short melodic idea may also be called a motif, a motive, a cell, or a figure. These small pieces of melody will appear again and again in a piece of music, sometimes exactly the same and sometimes changed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The riff is a short and catchy melodic idea and it recurs so often that it gives character and structure to a song. The hook is any part of a song that is meant to grab the listener’s attention. The hook is also catchy but it doesn’t recur as often so that it makes a greater impact when it turns up.

Detailed explanation-4: -A classic example of a rhythmic hook is “We Will Rock You” by Queen. From the moment you hear that stomp-stomp-clap beat, you know what song it is. On top of that, the main lyric is also somewhat of a hook – it’s an easy melody that most people can sing along to, thanks in part to its rhythm.
