Is Kia doing that stupid Flashdance ripoff commercial outside of Chicago? It's got that annoying song with a male salesman doing all of the varied Flashdance moves around the showroom floor, starting with the running-in-place-while-rubbing-hands-all-over-hips-and-stomach, and progressing to the big finale, having the water splash on him from above. Really, really annoying.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
No, the question is why is there not more Hall/Oates out there.
Because it's already canon and thus not as interesting?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
When I was a kid I thought the name of the band was a manual labor reference: Haluin' Oats.

BWAH!
From Wikipedia:
Daryl Hall (born Hohl) first met John Oates at the Adelphi Ballroom in Philadelphia in 1967 while attending Temple University. Each was heading his own musical group at the time—Hall with the Temptones, and Oates with the Masters. They were there for a band competition when gunfire rang out between two rival gangs, and in trying to escape, they ran to the same service elevator. Because of their similar musical tastes, they quickly became acquainted.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! Hello? Where is it AT? Sheesh.

teehee! That ad makes me laugh. Not enough to not fast forward through it on the TiVo, but the first time I saw it I laughed.

Huh. I've only ever known one person from Temple -- Hall and Oates, with their meet-cute-in-the-service-elevator-ducking-from-gunfire tale, are doing very nicely at keeping my personal ratio of Temple alums who are made of awesome at 100%.

Yeah, I think I'd be more disturbed if a seventh-grader was wandering by singing "Man-eater".
Fun H&O fact - "Family Man" was written by Mike Oldfield (of Tubular Bells fame). The song is sung by a woman in his version.

Our wings are not tired.
I did not know this, and I love it. And Hall and Oates.
Nor did I and I know that I have seen interviews with them that should have mentioned this. Huh. Also share the love.
