I was thinking that too, like he was trying to hype up the hosts by using a popular, recognizable artist in Al as a contrast...implying that they are better.

I've never seen FotC, but I know Al's music, and no one contemporary compares to him. The only comparison to Weird Al for me is Alan Sherman; my Grandfather would play his records for me.

I was hoping someone would say (write) this. I was wondering that too. Hall & Oates had mainstream popularity and plenty of songs ripe for Al to parody, but to my knowledge, none exist.

There is a concert only food medley song called Spameater from back in the day, but yeah. There should've been a full fledged H&O parody....they were pretty durned popular back then.

Oh, yeah, Spameater! I guess only having a brief parody included in the fabulous food medley wasn't enough, and gave Darryl a case of moldy tangerines. Nothing like holding a grudge for 20+ years.

Well to be fair, it's not like Al hasn't been holding a grudge for that long on an 80s celebrity

Um, I don't think the Prince problem is Al holding a grudge. It's Prince being a wimp.

Oh dear lord, how I regret my words now....

It kind of makes me want to join the OTHER Daryl Hall fan forum (there is one, on their website, but you have to join to even read the posts and I wasn't willing to compromise my integrity that way) and post extensively about the virtues of long curly hair, accordionic virtuosity and a sense of humor.

I have no integrity.
