Hall & Oates - She's Gone

[Dave Starsky]

How come I'm just now finding out about this? The song is a classic, but the video they did for it may be the greatest music video ever made.

7. There are special effects in that video.

I can tell they actually spent a couple hundred Canadian dollars on it!

And that is a cool song, which I'd never heard before.

2. I think I agree with one of the youtube commenters:

I think everybody's high on more than just consolation here.


Great song, but a very strange video

4. Ha ha. I didn't see that comment.

If you check out the song's Wikipedia page, the story behind the video is almost as funny as the video itself. The station that asked for the video thought that Hall and Oates were crazy, and they tried to get the song banned from airplay in Philadelphia.

I had no idea that Hall and Oates were such chill and funny dudes. They were trolling MTV long before MTV was even created.

3. They are my favorite duo. Loved them since the 80s

5. I was a casual fan before today.

I have always heard their songs played on the radio, but I've only heard a few songs from them, and those few songs are played over and over on the radio. It dawned on me that, if I like all of those songs that I've heard, maybe I might like some of their other songs that I never heard about. And so now I am exploring the song catalog of Hall & Oates.

6. Your'e going to love it. Enjoy!

8. I would have watched that excessively

Too bad it pre-dated MTV by about three years.
