Today we are going to go in depth with a member of the most successful duo of the rock era. John oates of Hall and Oates on their 1982 #1 smash Man-eater.
If you were to ever make a list of the most iconic lyrics of the neon decade, Watch out Boy She’ll Chew You Up would be near the top of the list. And that exact line came to John Oates and a hoity toity restaurant in New York City when a famous model actress came and sat at his table. John Oates will tell you the Story and then I want to elaborate a little further on the song’s impact as well as solve the mystery of who this mystery model woman is that inspired such a cut throat song.

When did that interview with John I had to rush through it due to time but I was able to glean some more info about the making of the song. after he tired it with Edgar Winger and it was that Reggae thing. Daryl Hall would say that he advised John Oates to change the groove to a motown thing. and then John Oates sang it for their frequent collaborator Sara Allen. So he sang the all familar
“Oh here she comes/Watch out boy she’ll chew you up/Oh here she comes/She’s a maneater…and apparently he had some other words that would the keep chorus going and She immediately said, “Drop that stuff in the end and just go, ‘She’s a maneater,’ and then stop! Oates thought it was crazy. He was used to singing it with that filler line but then he thought about it, and I realized she was right. And it made all the difference in the song.
The music video was mainstay on Early MTV… It opens with a woman walking down a red staircase, and the band playing in a dimly lit studio with partial light falling down on them. The band member all step in and out of the light to sing their parts. . .
