Album: Big Bam Boom
Video: From YouTube.
Daryl Hall & John Oates formed one of the most successful bands of the early 80's, with five singles reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the decade. "Method Of Modern Love" made it to #5.
I hate to be the one to say it, but M-E-T-H-O-D-O-F-L-O-V-E spells "Method Of Love", not "Method Of Modern Love". That would be M-E-T-H-O-D-O-F-M-O-D-E-R-N-L-O-V-E. Did Hall & Oates think we would not notice? Maybe they were just being lazy.
This is a trippy song, made even more surreal when watching the video. Our heroes are leisurely sipping cocktails when a guitar crashes into the roof of their apartment. They investigate, and have much amusement singing and playing. Finally, Hall boldly leaps off the building! Don't worry though, he's OK. He ends up dancing in the clouds to the amazement of his bandmates. Which inspires them to jump off the building as well. I guess that answers the question: "If your friend jumped off a building, would you do it too?"
Also significant: Daryl Hall is rapping! I didn't know he had it in him.
Birthday: Robert Zemeckis, the director of "Back To The Future", is 61 years old today. Released in 1985, this is one of my favorite movies. "You made a time machine....out of a DeLorean?"
