Why are some songs easy to sing along to while others, with not technically harder notes to hit, are much harder?

What about them is easier/harder for you?
In my case, it’s usually my familiarity with the style/genre that gets me.
Even if I can isolate and hit every note, a simple pop structure is much easier than one where notes transition into each other at less familiar or more subtle “angles”, compared to the “straight lines and corners” of much simpler songs. My knowledge of technical terms is next to nothing, but compare Hey Jude (simpler) to Strawberry Fields Forever.
Also time signatures play a rome for me. The 4/4 Hey Jude is easier for me to “wrap my throat around” than the what, 7/4 of Across the Universe.
