I was just listening to In The Closet, and I've got to say, that's gotta be one of MJ's catchiest hooks.

There's something about you baby
that makes me want to give in to you


I love it. What do you think is MJ's catchiest hook?
 
what does "hook" mean?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_(music)

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".[1] This term generally applies to popular music, especially rock music, dance, and pop music. In these genres, the hook is often found in, or consists of, the chorus. A hook can, in general, be either melodic or rhythmic, and often incorporates the main motif for a piece of music.
 
i don't know anything about hooks.... but this always catches my ear from GITM

Don't Try To Understand Me
Just Simply Do The Things I Say

i always heard without the word "in" in it. is it there?
 
hmmm....
good question...

"billie jean is not my lover, she's just a girl who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son."

"keep on, with the force don't stop. Don't stop till you get enough"

and maybe PYT, human nature......

I gotta think about it some more :yes:

Exactly. A hook is a phrase of music or a line (a few lines) of a song that catches your ear.

I'm pretty sure he says "give in to you" but it could be "give it to you".
 
I always thought it was give it to you :mello: Don't know why... :innocent:



Anyways some of mine are...


Keep the faith

Straighten out your life
And how you're livin' each day
Get yourself together
'Cause you got to keep the faith


Will you be there

I'm So Confused
Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me

I hear it as "give it to you" as in give sex.

Now that I check it, the Dangerous booklet says the lyric is "give it to you"
 
Good thread, I agree with the OP about "In The Closet". It's one of his catchiest hooks ever. Some other faves of mine:

Leave Me Alone
'Cause There's A Time When you're Right
And You Know You Must fight
Who's Laughing Baby, don't you know
And There's The Choice That We Make
And This Choice You Will Take
Who's Laughin' Baby....


Stranger In Moscoow
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside.....

The Way You Make Me Feel
I Never Felt So In Love Before
Just Promise Baby, You'll Love Me Forever more
I Swear I'm Keepin' You Satisfied
'Cause You're The One For Me......


Liberian Girl
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world,
Just like in the movies,
With two lovers in a scene
And she says
Do you love me
And he says so endlessly
I love you, liberian girl....


Who Is It
And It Doesn't Seem To Matter
And It Doesn't Seem Right
'Cause The Will Has Brought
No Fortune
Still I Cry Alone At Night
Don't You Judge Of My Composure
'Cause I'm Bothered Everyday
And She Didn't Leave A Letter
She Just Up And Ran Away......

Give In To Me
Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin me higher
Love is a woman
I don't want to hear it
Give in to me
Give in to me......


Another Part Of Me

We're sendin' out
A major love
And this is our
Message to you
(Message to you)
The planets are linin' up
We're bringin' brighter days
They're all in line
Waitin' for you
So look the truth
You're just another part of me...
 
Who Is It and SIM. SIM is really simple, but the emotion behind it is powerful I feel.
 
oh i got it

mine are:

the lady in my life:
So let me keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
Just come into my arms
While the world goes spinnin' by
And in the glow of candlelight
I will show you you're the lady in my life

Money:
Are you infected with the same disease
Of lust, gluttony and greed
Then watch the ones
With the biggest smiles
The idle jabbers
’Cause they’re the backstabbers


Privacy
Now there's a lesson to learn, respect's not given, it's earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

You rock my world
Oooh,Think that I
Finally found the perfect love I’ve searched for all my life
Oooh,Think I’d find
Such a perfect love that’s awesomely so right


I just cant stop loving you
I hear your voice now
You are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven’s in my heart
At your call I hear harps
And Angels sing


Is it scary?
’Cause the heart reveals the proof
Like a mirror reveals the truth
See the evil one is you


Ghosts
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
And who gave you the right to make intrusion to see me
And who gave you the right to shake my family
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby
She needs me


Dont walk away
(If you go, I won't forget you girl)
Oh no, oh yeah
(Can't you see that you will always be)
Baby girl, you and me, I won't forget you girl
(Even though I had to let you go)
Bended knee now, bended knee now
There's nothing left to do
Don't walk away


Can't let her get away
If I let her get away
Then the world will have to see
A fool who lives alone
And the fool who set you free


Heal the world
There’s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love

Create a world with no fear
Together we’ll cry happy tears
See the nations
Turn their swords into plowshares

We could fly so high



Speechless
Helpless and hopeless, that's how I feel inside
Nothing's real, but all is possible if God is on my side


the lost Children
We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers
Wishing our families well
We sing songs for the wishing, of those who are kissing
But not for the missing


Home with their fathers
Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But no one can find thee




and moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
Give In To Me:

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you questions why
I guess your kiss from hurting me
Don't try to understand me...

LOVE IS A FEELING
TAKING ME HIGHER
GIVE IT WHEN I WANT IT
QUENCH MY DESIRE!

:p
 
Lol at all the album tracks being mentioned, the catchiest hooks are on mj's biggest hits or the ones remembered nowadays by new artists & the general public, Mainly the hooks from the album Thriller hands down! no other tracks from any of his albums really touch the thriller stuff at all

The Way You Make Me Feel
You Really Turn Me On
You Knock Me Off Of My Feet
My Lonely Days Are Gone
 
Give In To Me:

You always knew just how to make me cry
