Pick of the Week: Maneater/Rich Girl/Heard It On The Radio - The Bird and The Bee

There was no way I could only pick one song this week. I mean, The Bird and the Bee released an entire album of Hall & Oates covers and I managed to pick only three. I consider that a massive showing of restraint.

And don’t lie to me, and certainly do not lie to yourself. When you heard that The Bird and the Bee would be paying tribute to the Daryl Hall and John Oates, paragons of 80s blue eyed soul, you probably flipped your lid. Because I did. So tear yourself away from Daryl Hall’s endlessly entertaining website for a moment and listen to The Bird and The Bee’s quirky tribute.

And the very best part of all of this is that the title of the album is Interpreting the Masters: Volume 1. Who knows what they could have in store for us next — perhaps they’ll recreate the Patrick Bateman approved Sports by Huey Lewis and the News?

And if this post has made you want to hear the originals, here is a Youtube playlist with forty Hall and Oates gems.
