dr_dank's Journal: Hall and Oates: an Informal Survey

Tucked away in the back of the minds of most modern folks is at least one song by the hit duo of Darryl Hall and John Oates. Whether it be the strains of "Rich Girl" or all of the words to "Man Eater", nary a person alive today has been untouched by the song stylings of these men.

What Hall and Oates song does it for you? I'd like to know as well as your fellow Slashdotters. There is nothing to be ashamed of, so please don't be shy. I may cover Journey or REO Speedwagon at a later date as interest allows.

The timing of this JE has nothing to do with the copious amounts of Percocet that I have been taking for my wisdom teeth extraction, although a parallel could be drawn by the casual observer.

"I Can't Go For That"

"I Can't Go For That" is useful for expressing yourself in certain negotiating situations :-)

Simply Red should be shot for fucking up the remake.

I haven't heard it. I'll take your word for it.

Oh so many to choose from!!

The ones you have mentioned, esp. Maneater are excellent. But I'd have to say that Private Eyes probably tops the chart for me. But Kiss on My List and You Make My Dreams are hella catchy -- hard to expunge those once they've gotten stuck in my head.

Speaking of which, thanks a hell of a lot. Now they ARE stuck in my head.

Oh well. Could be worse. Could be Raffi. ;-)

I like Maneater

Maneater is fun...I don't actually like the song, but it was once featured on Beavis and Butthead and the man had the same hairstyle as Beavis. Hilarious.

I remember that episode. IIRC, it was one of the few times they did the dramatic music for comic effect

Butt-head: Hey, Beavis. That guy's your dad.

Dunt dunt DUNT!

Beavis: Nooooooooo!
