"Because the hook brings you back."

[elfs]

The song "Hook," by Blues Traveller, is either the most amazing song in the history of hits, of the most ironic. It is Blues Traveller's only hit song, a one-hit wonder.

Their one hit song is about how easy it is to write a hit song.

Which means that either Blues Traveller's musicians could write a hit anytime they want to but choose not to for their own reasons, or it's the biggest fluke in the history of rock music.

I choose to believe the former. It amuses me more.

Blues Traveler had three hit songs, according to the Wikipedia, although I only remember two of them. (The other one I remember is Run Around, which was awfully popular during the mid-90s and still sees some radio-play.)
