I think this is comparable to the German &q...@cs -<br /><br />I think this is comparable to the German "Schlager", as in: "es schlaegt ein" (it hits).<br />The song hits the charts, and it hits the taste of the masses. And the public is hit by the effect of the piece. A hit is also a strong push into some form of action. It may make you cry, or start dancing, or spend money on the CD or a concert ticket.<br /><br />A fun game of redundancy: "He nailed it with his hit!" Which leads us into a different arena of inter-linguistic play. "He nailed it" means "er hat genagelt". Which in the context of rock stars and groupies and the double-meaning of this German phrase makes this a redundant redundancy. Or something like that. :)<br /><br />Forgive me.
