And as soon as the dance scene began the girls started clapping and cheering. It was a totally spontaneous, emotional response, and I thought: "Wow, this is unusual. And I have to say, to this day I don't think I've ever seen a better marriage of film and movement and music. Why do you think people have embraced it since then? Daryl Hall: There's something very direct and positive about the lyrics, and it never stops.
It's relentless. I think maybe that's part of its appeal to people. Joe Biden played it after delivering his victory speech last year. What did that mean to you? Daryl Hall: I was very very honoured. I'm a gigantic Joe Biden fan, and I was very happy they chose us to be a part of that. Are there any other uses that stand out to you?
Did you hear Kermit singing it? Daryl Hall: No, which Kermit? Kermit the Frog?! Daryl Hall [laughing]: I didn't know that. I'll have to check it out. You're re-releasing the song for Record Store Day. How important were record stores to your career? John Oates: My first record contract was actually with a place called the Record Museum, which was a shop in downtown Philadelphia that specialised in 45s. One day in , my high school band literally walked into the store with a test pressing and said: "Hey, we made a record.
So we went behind the counter into the back office and signed a contract, which was a portent of things to come, in the great tradition of musicians getting screwed by business people.
The video for one of your other songs - She's Gone - went viral recently, just because it's so bizarre. What's the story there? Daryl Hall: We were just starting out and we had an opportunity at our local TV station in Philadelphia, who wanted us to do a lip-sync of She's Gone.
John's sister was, like, 22 years-old and she was a director for the television station, so we used her. I put on a bathrobe, John had a penguin suit, our tour manager, Randy Hoffman, was dressed as the devil and we just did the song. It scared the people at the TV station so badly, I wasn't even sure that they were going to put it on the air, but they did. And then it disappeared into obscurity for decades until someone put it online?
Daryl Hall: Completely. Nobody knew about it. But I'm happy to hear it's gone viral. That's the only video I really ever liked. When John and I first got together, we were thinking conceptually about the music, things like that. The first songs we wrote, the earliest days, we knew there was power in silence.
And we used it consciously. And it became part of both of our writing styles. And we would use it as distinctively as any other writing tool. The chorus is a big payoff. But you are gambling on attention spans. A: That was a very adventurously composed song. Arif producer Mardin had a lot to do with that. It started with me playing a little piano riff. We built it from there using this majestic ending. But yes, you have to hang in there. He trusted the song. Q: This ties back maybe to the song selection.
But you made your first album with Robert Fripp. I know what I put into these recordings, my inclinations and what I want to do as an artist. But you put these songs and albums out there and people perceive them in different ways. A: Music is music. Absolutely right. All music is music. Think about American music and how it was founded on all this diversity: northern European music, music from Africa, Hispanic music.
