    In the 80's this was our song (we were in our 20's). My roommates and I just wanted to dress up to the maxs and go out dancing. Guys would buy us drinks all night and they would expect something after the clubs closed. Nope, we would just go to breakfast and go home. The DJ at one club would play this song when he saw us come in.

    John Oates was asked what he had in mind for the meaning of the song. Here is his reply "Well, it was about New York City, after the fact. I got the idea for the song because there was a woman who was very - she was beautiful but had a very foul, you know, vocabulary. It was the juxtaposition of this great beauty with this foul mouth that really kind of sparked an idea to me that she would chew you up and spit you out. But neither Daryl nor I wanted to write a song that was anti-women or negative toward women. So, what we did was we transpose that initial idea and use New York City in the ’80s as a metaphor. New York City became the maneater, the city that would chew you up and spit you out. And that is really what the song is truly about."

    There were album versions of a record which include longer beginning and middle instrumentals. The radio versions were shorter so they could get more songs, ads and news.

    They have always been called Hall & Oates but at some point they decided that they didn't like being called that becaue it didn't show their individuality so they wanted their entire name used instead. They wanted to be known as separate individual people. You can review ANY Hall & Oates song and it would be a banger. They are Hall Of Fame writers and artists. I Can't Go For That, Sara Smile, She's Gone, Kiss on My List, Rich Girl, I could go on and on. They are all classics.

    Your initial commentary made this retired English professor remember asking young women in one of my classes years ago about the songs they listen to. I mean, da…, the lyrics were so misogynistic…horrifying even (I don’t remember the song or rapper, not my style at all even if I am from Philly). Anyway, the young women looked at me, like “What?” In the ensuing exchange, they clearly never listened to the words, just the beat. Jeez….. Even as a teenager when this came out, I knew the meaning. Very rarely do I learn that the lyrics I had “created” are not the ones sung. Naïveté, not la k of trying. Really interesting to see you two having this conversation. Thanks for ;eating us in to your world.

  • @aliciahager2961
    @aliciahager2961 7 місяців тому +2

    The first comment I read explained that they ended up writing this with New York as the setting and scenario. That made me think of two things. The first that this song reminds me of is Billy Joel and how gritty some of his work is, and how similar in drive the artists have in their music, a powerful beat in many songs. The other thought I've had about Maneater is: Vampires!. She only comes out at night, and watch out boy, she'll tear you up, to me, makes me think of vampires, now with New York as a perfect backdrop. It also makes me think of how some women are on the make without a thought to their amour du jour, as you two have mentioned.
    After they broke up, Daryl Oates went into folk/Americana music, small venues, and he might have ventured into bluegrass. Hall, I believe is an accomplished carpenter and wood worker ; I as m not sure what else he's been doing. They have performed together several times times over the years. I have always thought of them as a good duo.

They are always looking to level up. You're just another rung on the ladder. And here's the BLACK PILL ... just 'cause you put a ring on it (Mr. Pegasus), you are not immune ... the stats tell the tale.

    Another get tingles song for me. I saw them in concert. It was great. seeing from the outside this sounds like markle. There was a long version of one of their songs and they just sang their hearts out. So gripping.

    If you want to dive into some good videos check out Daryl"s House where Daryl Hall has guest musicians to his personal setup and they play some classics. He's had everyone from Smokey Robinson to CeeLo Green to Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. It's awesome.

    They have always called themselves Daryl Hall and John Oates. The dj’s and the public just shortened it to Hall and Oates. Every single one of their album has said Daryl Hall and John Oates. Love this song! You guys are great!

    Please!!!! You now need to do a Darryl's Garage set of reactions!!! That is a rabbit hole of content. He invites artists into his garage and they do music sets! Cee-Lo was one great set!

    For balance try Sarah's smile or One on One. I can't go for that sampled by Mick Hucknall (simply red) and called Sunrise. First to are love songs and the third about getting ripped by their record label.

    John Oates was asked about the music for this song on a PBS special about Hall and Oates. He said he spent time between albums and tours in Jamaica. The music for Maneater was originally written to be Reggae. You can hear it a bit in the his guitar line.

    Funny but, I've never been a woman who played those games. I really did not know or could not play them. I was too upfront and just me. Besides, I am a really good guy's pal type. And I could not live with myself using people.
    You talk about a girl you went to a Woo Tang concert and your lady walk out on his arm.
    Steven Tyler of Arrowsmith told of being a young guy around 20 or so and his girl and him went to this 4 day concert in Boston called the Boston Tea Party to see a new up and coming band. They were playing all 4 nights but, Tyler was going to last night. The place went nuts for the group and demanded about 4 encores. It was wild.
    During the show Steven got separated from his girl and at the end of the show when the band came out to take a final bow, Led Zeppelin's guitarist, Jimmy Page came out with Tyler's girlfriend on his arm. But, it never got in the way of Tyler's love of the band and absorbing their influence on his own band
