Kiss On My List



My Dad once told me that an album called "Abandoned Luncheonette" was probably his favorite album. He said he could listen to that album over and over, never getting sick of it. A time when you could actually wear out an LP HaHa, I only wish that was still true! At the time being young and nieve I was thinking, "Abandoned Luncheonette??? What kind of name is that for an album and who the hell sings it?!" My dad told me the group was called Hall & Oates. I of course at the time started hysterically laughing... Hall & Oates? What kind of name is that? Once i found out it stood for Daryl Hall & John Oates...(the name of the guys in the group) it seemed to make a little more sense. lol
I saw a picture of these two and again started laughing! The hair, the mustache, the crazy 80's styles they had going on.....
Once i listened to that album though, my opinion completely changed, i stopped laughing and began saying, "ooo i think i kinda like this!"
Every song on that album is great! You start at the begining and listen all the way till the bitter end!
A start off of "When the Morning Comes," which hands down is my favorite Hall & Oates song! A few others include, "Las Vegas Turnaround," "Lady Rain," and of course "Abandoned Luncheonette."
Everyone today mostly knows them from their songs being in movies such as, 500 Days of Summer, You Again, and She's Out of My League. Hits like Maneater, Sara Smile, You Make My Dreams Come True... all really, really good but nothing compared to their second studio album.
I've had the pleasure to say i've seen them live a couple times and it was great! Still sporting the mustache and long hair that seems to have become their trademark!
OooOO! and if you ever see them coming to a venue near you...make sure not to miss Hall & Oates Home for Christmas.... definitely not a show by them you'd wanna miss, right Dad?! HahHahHa

  1. This is so funny, have you seen "She's Out of My League?" There's a Hall & Oats cover band in the movie (and this song). Makes me laugh every time it's on!

  3. I get a chuckle everytime I think about that concert at the Paramount. Moral of that story is don't by concert tickets when your drunk.
