Camellia by John Oates

John Oates performs "Camellia" March 19, 2009 at the 3rd "Stories Behind The Songs" show at the Wheeler Opera House. I am in love with the acoustic version.
THANK YOU, JOHN OATES! THANK YOU, JIMMY WAYNE!

John Oates: The Stories Behind the Songs
Without a band onstage and with a minimalist production, both the performers and the audience can focus on the essential elements of the song itself. The intimate, acoustic setting allows the audience to become part of the show.
John says, I enjoy when I can see peoples faces, their reaction gives us cues as to what they like or want to hear...in between songs we talk to each other, they talk to us...we dissolve the barrier between the listener and the stage and give them a glimpse into the world of the songwriter.

Is he saying "paradise tropical moon?" If he is, then after 33 or so years I finally know the lyric I've wondered about for so long.

[rebirthoftheflesh]

Damn, he sounds great!

[MrOzgooner]

Awww! My Name is Camellia! Freaken awesome!!!

[cami0526]

OMG, I never knew there was a song with my name as the titled. This is so cool, I really like this song, Altho Hall & Oates created this song and they did an awesome job, I now hope Rick Springfield would remake this song!!!

[DyingPetals]

It's unbelievably ironic, as in legit.

My name is Camellia, letter by letter, and I'm from Atlanta. :)

John seems a real cool guy the other guy seems to be a  twat

[dermot51]

amazing song beyond amazing guitar playing

[MsDiesIrae9]

Those no talent douches can't even join in with Oates. He's just blowing these hacks out of the water. Fuck Jimmy "Douche Nozzle" Wayne.

[jaemsyt]

Oates at his confident best.

Thanks again! Personally, I (almost) prefer the acoustic version to the 75 Studio version. H&O are 70's music legends. You just don't get this with the crap that's produced today. Thanks for your help.
