So, let's try to rescue this thing ...

 

Chop off "the first-X critical seconds."  Leave no split-second for a "musical-pad intro."  Instead, drop straight into the vocal within the first two seconds, and make extremely sure that the first phrase of that lyric contains: "an irresistible 'hook.'"

 

Next, go after the listener with "a wall of sound."  Add multiple layers of instruments – by gawd, a virtual symphony orchestra – covering all the octaves.

 

"You've basically got five seconds."  Grab a few YouTube snippets of The Gong Show to see exactly what I mean.  Yeah, that show was brutal ... it was "Name That Tune" in reverse.  But – it was real.
