Who the fuck are Hall and Oates?

[Ellie]

I am having a Mandela moment, I swear.

Hall and Oates are the most successful group of the 70s with 19 platinum albums. But I am convinced they have never existed until now.

There is a list of songs purported to be by them but I am telling you, they were all by different artists until the switch.

Rich Girl was definitely by Billy Joel, I have the album it was on:

Dreams come True was by Status Quo or someone similar:

Out of Touch was a completely different genre and I'm sure was a product of the Pop Factory.

I don't know who sang Maneater but it definitely wasn't this duo.

I can't go for that was definitely a Simply Red hit, and I don't mean the apparent sampling.

So what happened?

Are these two well-to-do Time Travellers who went back and stole these songs as their own?

Is it some sort of glitch in the Matrix?

 

[Spoo]

Okay so like, I can't speak for most of these, but Maneater is the quintessential Hall and Oates song. how could it ever not be by them?

 

[Ellie]

Shit. They've got to spoo.

 

[XP Learner]

Oh they created the song your kiss is on my list.

 

[Dr. Funk]

As a kid I always thought they were just really good oats grown in Holland
