Psychologist Tim Byron and musicologist Jadey O’Regan recorded five popular hooks to test your memory. Can you guess the song without vocals?
"It stands out or it's easily remembered because there is a person for whom it stands out [and] who is remembering it."
"The bit where [Spears is like] 'give me a sign', [with] the 'give me' there's different chords there, and that's a hook, it's a surprise," Dr Byron says. Through their research, the pair found that the artist actually uses a vocal technique called "vocal fry". A production effect gives Eilish's vocals a slightly robotic tone, like she's singing through a fan, or even a bit like Darth Vader, who — the pair points out — is also a pretty bad guy.Also featuring prominently on the list was Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, which you may have guessed from the audio based on its "strange rhythm".Incidentally, according to the duo, this also spawned a relatively new and perhaps underrated way a song can have a hook — by becoming a meme.
