Hall and Oates, Daryl Hall & John OatesDaryl Hall and John Oates had a lot of hits in the 1980s like "Maneater", "Kiss On My List", "One On One", "Say It Isn't So", and "I Can't Go For That", I'm sure you all know. Well, did you know that before they became musicians, they were truck drivers??? They were HAULING OATS!! (Hall and Oates = Hauling Oats!!). A really funny pun. Haha. Submitted by: Codi Preston D.

"Maneater"
Misheard Lyrics: And she kept time by a pearly Tag Heuer
Original Lyrics: A she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
|
Story about this misheard lyric by: THOMAS MOSS I saw an ad for Tag Heuer 10 years after the song came out but didn't attach it to the song until 2024. To make it even worse, I didn't know how to pronounce 'Heuer' and figured that since Daryl Hall was famous, he probably had one, and HE knew how to pronounce it, and stuck it in his song. Tag-Hu-Ar. I also doubt Tag Heuer makes a watch that's 'pearly', but if they see this post, maybe they'll think about making a "Maneater" tribute model. With pearls. |

"Bad Habits and Infections"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I am the doctor (ad nauseum / infinitum)
Why They're Repetitive: It must take up to half the song's 6 minute duration. Alright alright ALRIGHT! Daryl Hall and John Oates supposedly have stated that they hate the album this song is on: "Beauty On A Back Street". It sure ain't an indication of the string of cool hits they'd enjoy in the 80s.

| "Out Of Touch"
The Repetitive Lyrics: You're out of touch
I'm out of time but I'm out of my head when you're not around You're out of touch I'm out of time but I'm out of my head when you're not around Oh oh oh oh oh Why They're Repetitive: Other than the chorus being annoying there's not much that I can really say about this song.

"So Close"
The Dated Lyrics: Where she sits in some club where the long shadows fall. Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall.
Why They're Dated: The lyrics are referring to a payphone. With cellphones being so common nowadays I'm fairly sure they don't even make them anymore.

"Italian Girls"
The Lyrics: La donna Italiana belissima
Why: Translated as "beautiful Itatian woman". John Oates doesn't sing this lyrics although it is on the lyrics sheet, singing instead something to the effect of "She's here somewhere and I know I'm gonna find her." in place of the Italian lyric.
