[autumnjoy39]

Awesome song-but the lighting is terrible! U can see the shawdows when the lady n the devil walk by. Oh boy!

[210hump]

COCAINE,COCAINE,COCAINE,COCAIN­E,COCAINE Man they didn't even try to hide it!!!I

[210hump]

These boys look like they are on COCAINE

[IronDan614]

it looks like the budget for putting this video together was about 40 bucks

[Edsemi01]

@IronDan614 And that included the gas to get to the studio & back!

[RickyGandTheGoblins]

typo i believe in the option parts, i believe you mean 3.60p

[cakop54]

You have to remember this was high tech in the 70's. Look at the shoes!

[BlondeMaria]

I love they only lip sync when they feel like it ~Wink

[mzarcher90]

i love listening to older music my dad loves hall of oats and i also love this it reminds me so much of him i love you dad <3

[gorilla16mn]

Ever hear the expression "they looked like they were just walking through their lines"? This is what it means if you are a literalist.

[KJJackSparrow]

That has to be the worst music video in all of history.

[JasonBunting]

@KJJackSparrow That's what makes it such a rare gem!!!

[mechan9]

Too bad Beavis and Butthead never got their hands on this one. 

[lmca98]

wow....I really like Hall and Oates and their music but I grew up on MTV and all I can say is thank God for MTV. I'm sure other would disagree but really, who directed this video?

[tagginos]

This is your brain on drugs.

[mspinney203]

This video went viral on Namibia

[handsmlake]

gotta love the shoes...that's funny stuff right there



[wuzaup]

great band,,, like this song :D

[whizard78]

check out the tavares version on soul train of she's gone they look more excited on their video then this depressing one.

[chingchangchongfly]

Hey, Daryl: Where'd you get those shoes? Did Goodwill have a sale?

[Christopher89123]

I don't know why I keep coming back here to watch this. I love this video. lol

[justjulesnow]

Darryl Hall looks like Florence Welch in this video... Freaky!

[djfreddiefresh]

Fuck she's gone. Their HIGH!!!!!!!!

[lpdaddy]

This looks like the set of "Between Two Ferns" with Zack Galifianakis

[handsmlake]

for all the jokes he has taken over the years of "stand up" and he was...Oates was a trooper, and one of the best

[steveymac69]

Daryl doesnt inhale the cig, the second hit you can tell he didnt like it.

[HansBooBee]

This looks like one late party I'm glad I didn't attend.

[cparkes92]

So bad it's good. This is one of the very first music videos, which dates to 1973 I think.

[videofan469]

this is a very crappy video and these guys are one of my favorites

[CityslickCaptain]

This video is so bad...it's good.

[BeeJayCee3]

This obviously was one of the first ten videos ever uploaded to YouTube.

[Novaheart1998]

Who designed the set? This is by far the worst video I've ever seen and I love these guys.

[detroitos]

How can such a cool song have such a bad video.

[whyutah]

how much cocaine did they do before they shot this?????

[whyutah]

what.the.fuck.

[FuryOfFirestorm78]

I can't tell if Darryl is bored or high as fuck.

[HansBooBee]

@FuryOfFirestorm78 ...or crashing off a cocaine high.

[stay201]

There's 97 faggots that watched this video, Go die u fucking Justin Bieber

loving homos

[Norwalkdude]

Great song terrible video

[ejcant68]

i wanna know what hall was smoking when he selected the garage sale ziggy stardust look. it's sheer crappiness makes it solid gold.

[whitebare7]

Hall and Oates, the original nonchalant hipsters

[MrAhudd]

the devil was thinking... bad career choice.. great song terrible video

[eddiejlauzon1962]

i think they are a bit high lol

[TheAJA765]

everybody's high on something a little stronger than consolation in this video lol

[DrBlackfax]

@TheAJA765 Ha! This is one of those quality comments that people on youtube try to make but instead, leave some really shitty response that wasn't even funny in the first place. Well said, TheAJA765. A genuinely funny comment.

[mercuryrulz]

Brought to you by marijuana-vision

[BrandonNJackson]

great song but this video is wack beyond imagine

[TSconspiracy]

Hall and Oates are awesome. But this video? One of the worst I've ever seen.

[domrct]

Damn, they are so high in this video !

[pe3noipryde]

why do they look so depressed singing this song and how many times did that lady pass by?

is she really gone? lol

[SandSnowMXGirl]

Holy low-budget video Batman...

[matthew1976]

I'm going to create a law of the internet which mandates, this video must be posted for all your friends to see at least once per year. So shall it be.

[MrPaul263]

Looks like thise boys scored some really good bud

[johnnymanero1]

SME sucks ass!

[SuddenSparkles]

Damn are they ever blasé looking here. What's in those smokes anyway?

[Z200a]

@SuddenSparkles LOL!

[SuddenSparkles]

@Z200a glad I made you laugh... then I replayed it and figure it out,they are apparently "high on consolation" OMG I wish I could get high on that myself... but I do LOVE this song!

[BTC141]

Sweet. Great song.

[MultiFlyingPotatos]

Darryl hall looks like David Bowie

[LoveInterruptedYuku]

Reminds me of my Lost Love...

[jody808]

Darryl sporting the androginous, David Bowie look

[krezzinger]

"she's gone - what went wrong?" - perfectly expressed

[MsHard24get]

what's up with those shoes Daryl Hall got on? Lol!!! Wow!!!

[sprintbass]

@MsHard24get oh my god your right!

[MrOzgooner]

@MsHard24get

Classic aren't they?? The shoes and the look..lol ..they were late bloomers of the hippie era and they both went into it full scale.

[crushfan76]

What went wrong? Indeed! Song is awesome but shoot the video production yahoo who came up with this idea!

[k00k004cocopuffz]

hall looks high as fuck

[JittersInternational]

these guys look completely zooted in this, man i love this video lol

[taye60]

great song but damn what a lousy video

[RusShiro]

lol this vid is freakin GREAT lol

[1028Beck]

You can't hate on Hall & Oates.

[gogenericgirl]

Posting this is almost as good as rickrolling... wait, it's better.

[NycteaClaw]

OMG -- what a terrible video. The song is awesome, but damn.

[Crispyfriedchicken]

Boy it was easy to make videos back then.

[debbydoo2008]

seriously? I have no experience with drugs...51 yrs old...so glad!! What a dumb thing to film. or do!

[ratking8]

@debbydoo2008 faggot

[debbydoo2008]

look at those dorky sandals!!!

[Zagadu1]

Looks like There Fking High and tripping out on some couches to me.

[guitarslim56]

@Zagadu1, They are definitely on some couches! You got that right!

[vinto34]

Everybody's high on consolation...and other substances lol.

[Frizinho]

focus on the music, not the video!

[9Cisar]

hahaha oh god, i love this song but this is without a doubt one of the worst music videos i've ever seen. hahaha.

[Zagadu1]

@9Cisar i'm guessing you have never done weed bofore. If you have you would understand the brilliance of the video.

[tintaala]

passive aggressive, stoned, or both?

[NonStopRocker]

That was without a doubt, THE single worst video ive ever seen on youtube...I cant figure out who looks gayer Hall or Oates?...they looked stoned as hell, bored out of their minds and wtf is up with those sandals...G...A...Y..!!

[cruel241]

are those women's sandals? 

[murphslaw123]

@cruel241 No. Guys worse sandals in the seventies. It was okay.

[musikgal17]

Daryl, what's with the shoes?????

[Deathwing2001]

This video is pure brilliance.

[Pseudocoup]

2 legit 2 give a shit

[awuwp]

#weed

[awuwp]

93 people aren't snoop dog

[IPiMpiNI]

WHERE THE FUCK IS RON BURGANDY???

[draiman25]

@IPiMpiNI  hahahaha

[3sha214]

Is this the official video for this? I was expecting something more serious about losing someone and this is a funny video. I like it though. :)

[gypsyThree97]

I need a drink and a quick decision...

[tootoo0467]

I think the dude in the devil costume is Tommy Mottola. Great vid.

[Jaheartsjonas]

Wow they look so young and different! Very...interesting... I prefer their 80's look by a mile.

[68quilmes]

Impactante , impresionante, estamos en 1973, no nos olvidemos, no son de este planeta, son lo ++++++++++++. Maestros.

[pabulum28]

Some people here are saying that H and O look/act goof(il)y here...but in terms of looking/acting dignified, they appear here like Washington crossing the friggin' Delaware compared to how they look and act in later videos; take "Out of Touch," for example (also of course available on Youtube (I like both songs, but the video for "Touch"...sheesh))

[bryngOneOn]

so glad they later went on to do their own thing together, i'm not saying maneater and its ilk were anything groundbreakin, just catchy tunes, but at least looking here they got away from copying the look of glam rock and the sound of the four tops, i don't know what the four tops songs are, but i bet they're like this

[Haplotype0]

was that ron jeremey as the devil?

[Genkimark]

Daryl looks like David Bowie here, lol...

[elevatremusiq]

They look terrifying in this video. Very unsettling.

[catgirl6717]

@elevatremusiq are u kidding? John Oates is so SEXY!!!

[Cablev94]

This looks like something on the public access channel.

[tvbabay]

I see a striking resemblance in this song, and "Les Professionales" by the French band "Air". Check it out, the intros! Kinda cool.

[qaa654]

Is Hall wearing women's shoes?

[fedormannjr]

Gotta be the cheapest video ever filmed. I love it. The simplicity is it's beauty. They made 3 songs that destroy any pop song from 2007 to now. We still love you Oates.

[JittersInternational]

these guys look peaced

[jjjleeky]

went to the loo,and when i came back she had gone :(

[SuperAde1974]

WTF?? Daryl looks like he's taken one too many Valiums.

[freediver11]

I think they're both gone... Love the song though

[fingersmcoy]

@freediver11 lmao. hell yes they are. lol

[10gallonascots]

lol Seriously, worst video ever. Hilarious.

[14rerun]

Who would have figured two white boys would write one of the greatest R&B songs of all time!!!

[Sayjax]

Dear Hall and Oates,

Thank you for such great visuals! Especially the devil! Priceless! I laughed so hard.

[bayamrob]

Incredible footage,, thank you for posting. Hall and oates are genius.

[Joethemithra]

great video and song.BTW when i was a teenager in the 80's,people were making fun of the 70's fashion,but now u compare the two and 80's god awful!!!! 80's fashion is worst ever!!! BTW love this song and video.

[hylerj]

wow

[drelle504]

Either they were just bored in this video or they were high. I'm going with the latter. Great song either way.

[abiola33]

@drelle504 Oh yeah, definately. The song is a personal favourite of mine but that video is questionable.

[ryan100495]

Great song

[mcdonchris]

OMG this is the first time i've ever seen this...Damn and i'm 43 and have loved this song forever...What the hell is wrong with me? I can't believe i'm just now seeing this...thanks for posting.

[sparly123]

@mcdonchris Me too........44 And its bringing back the memories all over again. What a song.....

[PupuTheClown]

Looks like David Bowie and Santana here,,lol

[ziggdaville]

@PupuTheClown 

[parodymanufacture]

@PupuTheClown carlos santana is my uncle

[yourmomsfavproducer]

I just completely blew it with a girl.... Thank you Hall & Oates for making it a little bit better

[braves10ism]

I was born when this song cameout['73]. I'm so glad for youtube,I get to see videos from the past that I was too young to see when they were first released.

[braves10ism]

My favorite H&O song, it has a certain feel to it. I love the opening,and Daryl's vocals,the notes he hits,to me, are awesome. I've heard John live,he sounds different on here, but damn,they are awesome together,period!!!!!!!

[darkoriole]

My favorite Hall&Oates song.

[bun223]

whoever it's by, I love this song.

[vm24seven365]

@bun223 I agree with you friend. If ya get a chance to hear the version by Tavares, I think you'll like it too.

[bun223]

@vm24seven365 ok I'll look that up. :-)

[bun223]

@vm24seven365 ok, just played it. Yeah I heard that version, but I like Hall and Oates' version better. Sounds more like they mean it.

[vm24seven365]

@bun223 Hmmm, when you're right...you're right. LOL! Peace, friend.

[JesusManson323]

This song got me through some tough times.

H&O, I owe you guys one.

[GrizzleyStrait11]

this is awesome what the hell is on halls feet and I never knew Bo Brady was in the group

[ATeam192]

Such a great chorus. I always get this song mixed up with "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" for some reason. I always thought She's Gone was a cover too, but Hall & Oates wrote the shit out of it! Brillliant song.

[pamiety]

My FAVORITE song by H&O!

[Madkre8tor]

omg he looks like bowie lol. or ben orr. glam man. hil-ary-us. a top song about suicide.

[Meemaah100]

@Madkre8tor bizarre, inexplicable comment, Babe!

[Madkre8tor]

@Madkre8tor you need a translation?>: the guy on the left (hall? oates? I dunno I dont care.) but he looks like david bowie. ben orr played bass in the cars, and had a similar early 70s glam rocker look, like bowie. hilarious. right? the lyrics are about considering suicide because his woman left him. listen to it again.

[gtarz40ful]

damn! thought that was ziggy stardust @ 8

[TheJoozie]

"I was just droppin' acid and singin' on the corner. I learned how to dissapate myself in college" Darryl Hall

Best quote EVER

[barryb3940]

What a high concept video...pure genius.

[BADRAGON72]

dont care who or what it is a really good tune i love it stop being geeks have a drink or a smoke or a line whatever floats ya boat and enjoy :)

[MrEricStar]

Who's the devil ?

[ChioTheMaster]

what a weird video .. great song tho! :))

[davenmimi]

Daryl is high as F*CK! Lol...cool thing about all of this? My 28 y/o son is an Indie Music hound...and LOVES H&O. :)

[hazzaboy110288]

why do kids always come on here and say im 15 and i love this song noone cares if your 15 or 90 just enjoy the music my mums 50 she doesnt come on here saying hey im 50 and i love beyonce jeeze !!!!!!

[kurtgk]

LOL, they look like they both have hangovers.. But still incredibly sexy and talented. Their hearts don't look too much into the making video. Oates rubbing his forhead Hall smoking a cigarette "like whatever." I still love this song and they still look amazing.

[tdavidc80]

I am listening to the song - which I LOVE!! dubious video or not (it was 70/80s!!)

[Mesalonika]

Androgynous or not! I love them.

[DJdacri]

they look like zombies

[Galidorquest]

I'm 15 and I love music like this :)

[larrymullinslarry]

@36028 internet says that's not correct. There's another version by Tavares, but they were covering H&O.

From wikipedia (crap source but better than nowt):

"This song would be covered by Lou Rawls and Tavares before Atlantic Records re-released the Hall & Oates version in 1976. "She's Gone," as covered by Tavares, did go to Number One on the R&B charts in 1974. It was originally written for Hall's first wife, Bryna Lublin (Hall) and based on Oates' being stood up by a date on New Year's Eve."

[mrsbena]

@larrymullinslarry thats correct larry it was on behind the music i learned this fact

[NoCanDu]

@36028 You're partially correct. The song was indeed written by H&O and first released on their 1973 album Abandoned Luncheonette. This song would be covered by Lou Rawls and Tavares before Atlantic Records re- released the Hall & Oates version as a single in 1976.

[mrsbena]

@36028 the tavares sang it there 4 black guys but i love halls and oats version the best!!!!!!

[GeoffLafayette]

@36028 I think it was me at the 7-11 in Springfield, VA around 6:30pm June 5th 1967.

[freedomforce10]

they was high in this video

[soulie61]

Some people still seem to think that Hall & Oates are not Soul music (or R&B) :-)

[Baltahfeek]

Purely awesome music... Thanks for posting!

[sfkforever]

this is genius!!!!

[twofourtree]

this video rules.

[coconuts742]

Brilliant !!!

[66katemom]

Swear to God, that looks exactly like Ron Jeremy as the devil.

[jocam32]

cocaine is a helluva drug....so is french artistic pomposity!!!

[captcarisma911]

why such the pensive look by these guys?

[GirlGulabi]

It IS THEM! Hall and Oates, not garfunkle and oates, not simon and garfunkle, Its Hall and Oates as in Daryl and John.

[clockworkorange09]

I want a straight jacket like the one Oates wears during his guitar solo. Fucking Sweet.

[77ricebowl]

Why can't today's musician's write and produce real music like this any more.

Today's group's are all just "wanna be's" that couldn't play a chord on a guitar if their life depended on it. Thank you
