HALL AND OATES MEMES

FUNNY HALL AND OATES

I love Daryl Hall and Johnny Oates. Their songs from the early 80s are on all of my playlists. But, the best part about this fantastic duo is that they were so 80s. Their hair, their clothes, their attitude, and the moustache! I love looking at old photos of these dudes and having a little chuckle.


Hall and Oates - the 80s

First up we've got John Oates, the moustache guy. I think he won awards for that 'stash. It was right up there with Tom Selleck.

Cut the stash? Oates can't go for that
And, John, always having fun during photoshoots.

Hall and Oates were not only my favourite band of the 80s, they were awarded Best Band / Favourite Band by the American Music Awards in 1982, 1983, AND 1984. Wow, that is an achievement! So is wearing these gold sparkling 80s outfits...

They were so popular at the time they could get away with anything - breaking MTV, having bad hair, wearing tacky clothing...

Fans couldn't get enough of these guys. They were great at mixing in with the locals when they went on world tours and such.


Hall and Oates funny!
Often I wonder about their songs. Your Kiss Is On My List - I get that it's cute, and sweet, that you'd have a list and put your girlfriend's name on it. But, it can sound kind of creepy if you think about it.

Hall and Oates are coming for the kiss that is on my list
And Maneater, their number 1 song from '82, sounds kind of cannibalistic.

I Can't Go For That, their '81 hit, always had me questioning...what couldn't they go for?!

I did find a nice remix of "I can't go for that" overdubbed with "I ain't got time for that". Just shows that Hall and Oates is still hip with the kids today.



I know I'm poking fun at these guys, but truthfully I still love them. I'm always playing their songs in my house, in my car, and in my dreams (which they make come true). I'm pretty excited they are back on tour this summer and might even try to see them when they come near. Here is a link to their concert dates https://www.hallandoates.com/tour . That is something I Can Go For!
