It's so primitive it's almost not there, but that never hurts.

Are we thinking 'good' in songwriting has to mean 'complicated'? It's nice to have some sophistication, that will help keep it fresh over time. But you don't need it.

People will ALWAYS remember 'WHOLETDADOOOGSOUUUT!'. It's loud, it's mean, it's funny, it's in people's vocal ranges, the melody is uh not hard... :D

That's a hit song (or at least hook) right there. Not a fake any more than the 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away' chorus is a fake.
