Music Hooks

Working at a large institution such as Michigan State University (MSU) has its perks and challenges. One of the advantages that MSU offers is the spirit that can be found within the sports culture. Let's take football as an example. MSU is very well known for its sports culture which can be transcribed as its fans knowing the fight song and singing it whether they are inside or outside of the football stadium. Indeed, the MSU fight song does include several hooks and repetitive rhythm that makes the audience wants to sing more and more of it. It's very energetic and parts of the song contain non-lyrical aspects which makes it more catchy. There is also the part that says "fight fight fight team fight" which reminds us of the AAABA hook that makes it more emotionally appealing. While trying to teach part of the American culture to international students, this song could be helpful in keeping them engaged and hooked to the learning experience.
