IS FOR…..MAN-ETA
Or Man-Eater, 1982 smash hit for Daryll Hall and John Oates, who when they performed together hit upon the clever band moniker of Hall & Oates. Two men who were not so much a band as finalists in the worst haircut in the world competition. Man-eater comes from the cleverly titled H2O album, and is indeed the most watery kind of eighties rock. Woman hating from the start, examining the lyrics of Man-Eater is a tragic explaination as to what happens when two people with really, really bad hair have money. The only women who are after them are actually after their money. And one can only assume from the bitterness displayed in the song, that at least someone got their Oates. Watch out boys, she’ll chew you up. I’ll spit you out though.
