I remember seeing this video when the album first came out. My little brother and I always loved that guitar part near the beginning of the song when G.E. Smith hurls his guitar through H&O's skylight. Great vid!! The band looks as if they had fun making the video too.
I think their reputation for being lightweight and silly comes directly from their stupid videos. What the hell has any of this weirdness got to do with the song? Not saying it should have bee serious and in black and white, but this takes away from the song.
@DSDMovies MOST videos from the 80's look like this. Don't take my word for it. Go look at them. If you were a smart artist, you made cheap videos. Why would you spend millions and millions of dollars on a video that comes out of your pocket? In the 90's many artists made expensive videos and are now broke because of it.
You know whats crazy... back in the day if you had a favorite part of a song on 8 track you had to listen to it then reset the entire track to wait another couple minutes for the same part of the song to come up again. There was no way to rewind the 8 tracks back then. Then the cassette players came out and changed everything. You could even record radio songs if you were fast enough to run to the radio and hit the record key.
I went to the concert with my mom!! LOL!! I was 15 and nobody wanted to go see these guys with me... General Public "Tenderness" , they opened up for them, and the blonde from MTV was there.. cant remember his name, but it was like an awesome show! My mom loved it!! I caught John's sweat towel as they walked back stage. Lol!! I kept it for many years.. Now Im 42, and I like the songs still but only because it takes me back to yesteryear. ;)
@Brwneydgrl69 I went with my mom to see them in 1985. I didn't know how she would react since she was kind of a prude back then but at the end of the concert she was practically standing on her chair screaming her lungs out like a teenager.
the Dynamic Duo strikes again. This time At Liberty State Park New York City When They played this song the traffic stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike People were cheering Louder there than at a Yankees, Red-Sox Game. The
cheering could be heard all the way into Staten Island N.Y. Liberty State Park
was Rocked To It's Knees Forever. There was no escape for even Lady Liberty
hall and oats have been around a while and have been very consistant....ONE OF MUSIC S BEST DUOS ...AND A HUGE FAVORITE OF MINE....Alot of folks dont know about this , thats a dam shame...oh well there loose...excellant track!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to love this song back in the 80's - Big Bam Boom was probably H&O's best album of the 80's and probably their last big one of that decade - after this album, Daryl went solo and rolled closer to rock & roll, which didn't work...............
Notice John Oates swimming in the clouds at the end of this video. In light of that, does this song remind you of swimming, or does swimming remind you of this song?
An incredible amount of great songs came out between 81-86. It was also a great time to be alive in the USA. This video kind of sucks azz but the song is incredible.
This song reminds me of the best radio station in Central America, was in Guatemala City --- F. M. 95 -- The Super Station. the best times ever !!! 80's
oh yes this what im talking about, "M.E.T.E.D.A.D.S its a method of metedads" i love this i think the 60s were the best!!! this band are currently performing at Bungay hippodrome in bungay, im going tonight with my friend Josh "the face" Bingo who reckons he once caught a bear using nothing but a polo and 5 spiders, i say "shut up josh bingo you twat" but he then tells me he is dating Jet from gladiators and that they make love on the travelator
Also this was such a killer song. It had so many elements to it. I'm surprised more music artists don't point out the importance of this song. A white guy who was told he wasnt supposed to do soul actually did the melodic rap thing too. I wore out my cassette so bad that the tape stretched on this particular track.
Oh and the guitar in the extended version was killer.
I really think that Flight of the Conchords modeled some of their act from Hall and Oates. Part of their vibe just seems to feel like like it haha. The mannerisms. I know Hall was in an episode.
I really think that Flight of the Conchords modeled some of their act from Hall and Oates. Part of their vibe just seems to feel like like it haha. The mannerisms. I know Hall was in an episode.
My favorite song when i was in elementary school! I kept a blank cassette in my radio and I used to wait until they would play it and I would record it.
i heard this song on the radio tonight and was dying to find out what it was, so i looked up the lyrics and found out that it was H&O. it so just figures. i love them! <3
I have always been a Hall & Oats fan since the 70's! I love this song, but have to admit the video was goofy, but it was the 80's, and music videos could be a bit out there. I still love them 80's though!!!
@JoviMoon I agree - alot of whacky 80s videos out there but this is a great tune. There are no time machines but youtube replays of these classic songs are as close to a time machine as you can get. For a moment I can close my eyes and be 24 years old again - then my wife yells at me to take out the trash LoL
I think Daryl's got one of my old jackets on. I love this video! Don't mess with imperfection. More like "perfection," actually. 30 years later, and I love these guys even more!
If any of you guys are looking for a certain particular Song/Rap/Mix that you just can't find anywhere. Most likely, I have it or more than likely, I can get it for you. If you don't know the name of a song you heard, but there's a posted video featuring the song, send me the video, and I'll get the song on a quality unmarked CD disk for you. Contact me for more details.
@TheSoloAsylum why would i trust you on what constitutes rap? I was listening to rap when it first started and I know what it is. btw it's rather telling that Method Man used the chorus of this song as his anthem...and i believe Method Man is rapping. You probably don't think Blondie rapped either in that one song?...in fact it was the first rap ever in a mainstream song. besides commercial/mainstream rappers dont sing or rap...they just talk.
@ashalchi Blondie was not rapping........and the song you speak of is called "Rapture" She had no idea at the time what kids today would say about her music> I have even heard of Elvis rapping........he did no such thing
I love how the beginning sounds like one of those Jackson (MJ or JJ) where they talk over top of it. "Baby, since you came into my life... things have changed..." Haha!
Seriously, though... with this song and "Out Of Time," Big Bam Boom wa H&O's most complex album to that point. It may seem like a funny thing to say about popsters, but take this song: That C/D-/B flat progression is pretty bad ass. (I think that's what it is, off the top of my head.)
You can still do that! It takes some great creativity! Which is sadly lacking these days! Somebody bring these Artists back in the mainstream PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course you can do it. Good luck getting someone to release it. If you follow pop music these days (and bear in mind... H&O were pop, back then), there's nothing clever, fun and interesting like this these days. Even on smaller, "independent" labels, you don't hear anything this dynamic. So what I'm saying is... you can DO this kind of music... for your friends and family. Good music doesn't make it to the mainstream anymore. Or can you come up with counterexamples?
Not meaning to sound like this response is glib but I guess it always comes back to your way of conceiving, defining and presenting -- it's a total package so eve the delivery might impact the effect on the recipient... I wonder if this is going through to final execuiton... I can do it for Yu and You can do it for Uself
Oh, to re-live my childhood! Voltron, He-Man, She-Ra, Punky Brewster, My Little Pony, Headbanger's Ball, Soul Train, American Bandstand, Solid Gold, Dance Fever, & (most importantly) KUNG FU MOVIES!!!

@SpankRamen2 i'm with you 100% esp. the Kung Fu dont forget Atari & NES, bmx biking and skateboarding! and Thundaar the Barbarian! and pegging those jeans haha
@SpankRamen2 No kidding! I wish I was smart enough to invent a time machine. I can remember watching all those great cartoons, fragil rock, mtv(when they played videos), great tv shows, etc. Hall & Oates were pretty much my childhood. I can't believe these guys aren't in the rock n' roll hall of fame.

So what I'm saying is... you can DO this kind of music... for your friends and family. Good music doesn't make it to the mainstream anymore. Or can you come up with counterexamples?

Not meaning to sound like this response is glib but I guess it always comes back to your way of conceiving, defining and presenting -- it's a total package so eve the delivery might impact the effect on the recipient... I wonder if this is going through to final execuiton... I can do it for Yu and You can do it for Uself

Where's E.T. flying across the moon?
Is that George Smith goin sick on that antenna with the flying V? Or is it... Leatherface? Muahahahaaa.
I love Daryl's spin at 1'32". You can only do that in a baby blue blazer!
What are they doing up there as the cast of Stomp, with that weird industrial set that looks like the cover of "The Process" by Skinny Puppy?
Isn't it amazing how sweet and goofy the music was back then?... and so were we!
What a GREAT song, by the way! Nice changes!

@SpankRamen2 No kidding! I wish I was smart enough to invent a time machine. I can remember watching all those great cartoons, fragil rock, mtv(when they played videos), great tv shows, etc. Hall & Oates were pretty much my childhood. I can't believe these guys aren't in the rock n' roll hall of fame.

Why can't the 80's make a comeback? Music was much better.
