The one they play at every sports events ( na na hey hey) is a good example of a chorus hook.

Greenday did it well here.

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Long Beach Dub All Stars....Sunny Hours

the chorus (is that the same as the hook?), that goes

Let the mofo burn- Fire Water Burn by The Bloodhound Gang

can't really comment on them because I'm not in North America and don't go to sports events, but what about Smoke On The Water's riff? That should go down well.

I knew he wrote jingles but man, all of these!

A Very Strange Medley (V.S.M.) This is a medley of commercial jingles Manilow wrote from back in the 70s. You'll hear:

Kentucky Fried Chicken
Get a bucket of chicken, finger lickin' good, have a barrel of fun, goodbye ho hum
State Farm Insurance
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there
Stridex
Give your face something to smile about with Stridex
Bandaid
I am stuck on Bandaid cause Bandaid's stuck on me

Remember any so far? There's more including Dr Pepper, Pepsi and McDonalds.

Jump Shout Boogie Medley This is a medley of:
Jump Shout Boogie
Avenue C
Jumpin' At The Woodside
Cloudburst
and the well known song from Dick Clark's American Bandstand Bandstand Boogie

I LOVE U BARRY.

Kernkraft 400's "Zombie Nation" (would sound much better if it weren't remixed)
Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye (Steam - 1969 I think? Kick ass tune, usually used in hockey games when a visiting player is ejected for fighting)
Most MLB players get to choose a clip from a song of their choice while walking from the on-deck box to the plate. Dan Wilson of the Mariners had Alice In Chain's "Max in the Box" one year -- I found the (attempted) irony amusing.
The Fighting Irish song of Notre Dame. Annoyingly catchy.
USC probably has the best sounding marching band rendition of the Star Wars "Empire" theme
University of Florida's "Who Let the Gators Out" ... yes this was around loooooong before that horrible rip-off from the Baja Men or whatever. "Who- Who- Who let the 'Gatas out?!" Simultaneously accompanied by the Gator Chomp, naturally.

Probably hundreds more but I can't think of any off-hand at the moment.

Petey wasn't the only guitarist on that track, as a young man by the name of Jimmy Page was also present.

It’s a condition where your face or head grows laterally, getting wider year by year. It’s not so much of a problem and it’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just a condition. In fact mine is good because it means my brain is getting bigger too. But not that Travolta guy, his head is mostly fat. The doctors said I am much smarter than John Travolta and I believe them.
