[1980-1984 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 1982, #11
Imagine songwriting as fashion design. A simple, classic line goes a long way - think of a pencil skirt. Same goes for writing a great hook. Keep it simple: try just two notes:
BOMP BOMP!

BOMP BOMP!
These two simple notes sew together a synth, a horn, and a drum-beat:
BOMP BOMP!
Weave in an old-school R&B rhythm, and a classic love-gone-bad lyric, and you've got the Little Black Dress of Eighties Pop songs.
