Good lord.

reply

Yes indeed, a sense of humor is a prerequisite for this one

reply

I was startled when I first opened the link but I watched it again, didn't find it funny. We have different tastes it seems!

reply

Hey its all good, most people that watch these shreds videos find them funny, but like you say, different tastes. There was a reaction video floating around showing Daryl Hall watching the Maneater one and laughing.

reply

That's hilarious, I might look that one up later :)

And yes, Change of Seasons, from which the above song comes, is my favorite Daryl Hall & John Oates album.

I love how the cd opens and closes with different versions of the same song ...

Niceeee. Out of Touch is a great song :)

reply

Thanks. Yeah, I've always loved it.

What about Quaker Oates?

reply

I prefer the generic brand of oats but I'm weird.
I sell a lot of Quaker Oats though! Older people really like them.

reply

Doesn’t he look like Barbara Bush?

reply

Little bit. Lucky sob.

I'm going to come out and admit when H&O were at their height of popularity, I was pretty sick of them.
The songs seemed to follow the same formula, with Hall taking the lead all the time.
But I think I was just annoyed at how big they were, reverse snobbery.
"Maneater" is a song that pops to mind. I guess "Your Kiss" (not sure that's the title) is pretty fun, and much different than the a-fore mentioned number.
Before they got really big, I did buy the LP (used) Abandoned Luncheonette, and my favorite was "Do What You Want To Do (But Be What You Are)." The hit from that album was "Sarah Smile."
Later they were just a little too pop and polished for my taste, but they're O-K.

reply

I love Abandoned Luncheonette! My boyfriend told me about it and those songs are amazing :) I listen to it all the time on Youtube.

reply

Isn't it sad they aren't actual friends in real life?!

I can't say I'm a fan, but I have a soft spot for everything that's hella 80s. Out of Touch is probably my favourite.

reply

I didn't know they weren't friends! They should be. I'm going to make sure they at least start having a weekend BBQ or something :)

I love everything 80s too. You have no idea how much!

reply

That just has to work! Hall may be the hardest to convince. Maybe I can entice him with my cold chicken salad!

reply

Hell cold chicken salad sounds great right about now so I don't see why not! I'm gonna make some ribs and he is going to be so thrilled that he will do anything I say. :)

reply

He'll be singing "I Can Go For That!" instead!👍
