Agree ! It would have done much better as the album's third single. I love "Some things are better left unsaid", and it should have done better, but this one is loaded with hooks, and immediately grabs you by the neck.
John Oates definitely holds his own vocally. I learned to appreciate this song years later. I love the jazz, R&B, pop sound to it. One of Hall and Oates's best.
Big Bang Boom is their best album by a country mile, and you are dead right about John, a superb vocalist in his own right, but matched with Darryl's voice its a chemical reaction and magic is made. I love how much love these two cats from Philly get globally. Philly is the home of vocal harmony imho.
This song literally holds up to any of Daryl’s vocals. I always loved this track. I was 12 when this came out and had all their records.. to this day I can’t believe this one wasn’t way higher on the charts
Oates didn't get the credit deserved for this gem. Remember turning this up full blast in my beloved fire engine red firebird. Love Daryl but John owned this one.
Two ways we can thank them are by spelling Oates correctly and by calling them Daryl Hall and John Oates (like all album covers do) instead of just "Hall & Oates." The duo said they think the latter makes them sound like a law firm or a two headed monster. Blessings to you and yours.
To know that these two musical geniuses are going through what they are going through at this time, truly breaks my heart!!! They have created too much beautiful music to let it end like this!!! Real talk!!!!
@@HatianHurricaneit truly is sad. I saw Daryl on a podcast just making it sound like John had nothing to do with their success. He was basically saying it was all me.
Nice to hear John Oates take the lead on this one. He has such a wonderful and soulful voice that complements Daryl Hall's.Their dancing and suits were all pretty cool too.
Prediction: This song will be featured in a game or movie within the next 5 years and see a massive resurgence. It’s one of those songs everyone loves when they hear it.
The scene with Daryl and John fighting for the sugar in the diner was played and shot BRILLIANTLY! Right down to John tossing his newspaper and catching the sugar sent from Daryl. My Wife and I love these Brothers!
This is one of their best. John does a great job on lead vocals, and those backing vocals are stellar as usual. They look like they had a good time making the video.
I’ve been a fan of Daryl Hall and John Oates for years and I’ve never heard this song until a few days ago. I can’t stop playing it because It’s my favorite song currently.
I was around as a teenager in the 80s, when this was charting. It stalled about half-way up the charts, then started falling out of airplay--a real shame I thought even then. John Oates is playing in Napa next month!!---April 16 2023, tickets only $60, i'm in the third row! Saw H&O play in Vancouver over a decade ago, and everyone had a great time.
When this video was first aired on MTV, I had two thoughts. One was how surprised I was to hear what a great voice John Oates had. The second was that John needed to keep his eyes on the road while he was driving that cab 🚖.
part of this was filmed in my neighborhood, and me and my 14 year old friends were chasing the car up and down the street! we were so excited to see John Oates 😊
that's awesome, did you get to talk to him at all? btw what's the address or intersection if you still remember? I'd love to Google street view to see how it looks today. (This has been one of my favorite songs/videos since I was a kid in 1991 too)
I did see the video aired on VH1 a few times as a kid around 1991-92 but it definitely doesn't seem like it was ever that popular. I checked and it only hit #30 at the time unfortunately.
Most of the songs John sang lead on by himself were not released as singles so they aern't very well known unless you bought that particular album. I love Italian Girls from H2O & Mano a Mano from Private Eyes though.
Totally agree. John's voice was so smooth and melodic... I have memories of listening to it as a kid back in '89-94 or so, but even a lot of big 80s fans don't seem to know it like most of their other hits.
I've gone through some of the musical careers of several artists and there's a characteristic that most artists share; they all have one or two big time hits and several filler songs. Hall and Oates are one of those few artists that produced timeless hits every single time! I can hardly name a bad song of theirs! All of them are full of heart!
I have ALwAYS remembered the bit where they fight for the sugar and Darryl gives it up so John can use it; gives up the lead singing gig, so that John can stun us with his talent. They were an incredible duo.
I never realized it until now, but when John Oates gets out of the cab wearing the suit, his passengers are sitting in the back just watching this unfold. Kind of like, "Wait here a minute. It's my solo spot!" I always assumed he pulled up alone. But it's a great moment to see him fronting the group.
the most underrated song of any band or singer here since 1984 and for the young fellows, now you understand that our era was great? I love this album completely
this video showcases their friendship and that camaraderie rarely came across in their videos or onstage - i saw them at the Meadowlands in NJ for the album Big Bam Boom which this song is on - they were kinda boring
I love Darryl Hall & John Oates. They were one of the biggest duos in the 80's. Such talented voices. It is too bad that the kids today didn't know this kind of music!😕

I fell in love with this song because it was John singing. Not taking anything away from Daryl, but John had a sexy soulful voice. This song turned me on. 😆😆😆
@@davestewart2067 I never realized how much songwriting John has done. Btw, aere Daryl and john still an act together, what with Daryl doing "Live From Daryl's House" and John doing his own thing? I hope they're still The Dynamic Duo, but i'm happy with their legacy of great music and fine memories! :)
I was a fan of Hall and Oates 80's stuff (mainly Out Of Touch). It was a busy work week and I was listening to 80's tunes to unwind and thought about why Daryl Hall was always singing and re-discovered this song. While John is a good singer, I can see why Daryl took most of the spotlight. Daryl is your typical tall / blonde singer. John is a shorter "every day man" who really didn't advertise well with media. Not to take away from Daryl. He's an awesome singer and I think the songs that were popular were the big POP hits. This song is a soul / slow jam that probably resonated with older folks than young teens.
You heard this song on your car radio after watching the video and imagined the same images rushing past your window. Didn't matter if you were in NYC or Philly or Omaha, this one's a classic from the music video era.
Saw these guys just last night. The playful interactions between them in this video are true to life. Great friends, incredible musicians. Love these guys so much
This song is one of their top 40 songs in Billboard hot 100 single chart, The peak position of this song was 30th and it remained 12 weeks on chart in 1985. Possession and Obsession is well loved song of Hall & Oates until today.
2:37, Daryl looks like he is about to burst into laughter. They were probably having the greatest time making this video and not taking themselves too seriously. I'd have a hard time doing this without laughing.
when i saw this songs pop up in youtube like i am a fan of hall and oates so i thought it would another rip off type of song a few minutes later i started this song when i saw john coming out with the taxi i was about to skip the music so when the singing and the music started it became my fav song
John Oats was a hidden talent. He had a soulful voice but record producers want Daryl Hall to do most of the singing. How humble was John to put his talent on the backburner.
Are you kiddin' me? I've never heard this. John Oats taking the lead. He's got a very nice voice! What a pleasant surprise and good beat. Thank you for posting this.

It should be a felony how criminally underrated this song is. One of their best songs.
It has a unique, sweet feel to it.

John's got a lot of soul, when he sings.
O o❤❤😊❤😊❤😊😂😊😂😊😂😂😊😂

Indeed!!
Everyone let’s take a moment to THANK these guys HALL & OATS for such great music from the 80s until the end of times
until the end of our times ....
@@sportingcristal5144 Amen
Two ways we can thank them are by spelling Oates correctly and by calling them Daryl Hall and John Oates (like all album covers do) instead of just "Hall & Oates." The duo said they think the latter makes them sound like a law firm or a two headed monster. Blessings to you and yours.
from the '70s on!
My boyhood idols. Thankful to have grown up in the 80's
John Oates has the perfect voice for this song 🎶🎤🥰
Martika did a great job of covering this on Kids Incorporated. I've always loved that version.
To know that these two musical geniuses are going through what they are going through at this time, truly breaks my heart!!! They have created too much beautiful music to let it end like this!!! Real talk!!!!
Why are they mad at each other?
@@faniymx I don't even know.
@@HatianHurricaneit truly is sad. I saw Daryl on a podcast just making it sound like John had nothing to do with their success. He was basically saying it was all me.
It's because John wants to sell his share of publishing and royalties to his half of the catalogue.
@@AlexM-uo9gk just read that. You are correct sir.
Thank you Daryl for letting John have this one
John Oates can sing in his own right but the duo together were dynamite. I just love these guys......
💚 from Peru 💚 awesome
They’re still together and still dynamite! Just saw them in Philly last week, amazing!😍🤩
John is hell of a singer...
Nice to hear John Oates take the lead on this one. He has such a wonderful and soulful voice that complements Daryl Hall's.Their dancing and suits were all pretty cool too.
I kinda like how it’s John doing the main vocals for this song and his voice works perfectly with the atmosphere this song creates
Prediction: This song will be featured in a game or movie within the next 5 years and see a massive resurgence. It’s one of those songs everyone loves when they hear it.
Spot on
The are good to comment because the one million subscribers does not arrive 🤔😎
Hope so but I kinda doubt
Vice City sequel? Absolutely!
Probably a GTA or any famous sandbox game
The scene with Daryl and John fighting for the sugar in the diner was played and shot BRILLIANTLY! Right down to John tossing his newspaper and catching the sugar sent from Daryl. My Wife and I love these Brothers!
Such an underrated hit sung by John Oates, also the dancing seen by the Hall and the band is pretty badass
Underrated? Al their fans love this song.
Facts 💯
Loved it since I first heard in 85'. Found a 45 in the 90's. Now you can find it on RUclips.
Those white boys can sing but they sure can't dance🤨
ㅖㅁ
Seeing Daryl try not to laugh while filming this has made my whole week.
This is one of their best. John does a great job on lead vocals, and those backing vocals are stellar as usual. They look like they had a good time making the video.
John Oates's sound is soft like a silk
I’ve been a fan of Daryl Hall and John Oates for years and I’ve never heard this song until a few days ago. I can’t stop playing it because It’s my favorite song currently.

*Daryl is the heart, John is the soul.*
Now we know it.
Believe it or not. This is my favorite song of theirs out of all of them.
IT'S MY FAVORITE TOO!!!
I knew you was cool
One of the my top 10 from us for sure, perfect beautiful song as well.
1980year times life timetable records .sings took about inonly one .good faivoret hot music .fine today .
Very nice tune to seal their legacy!
When this video was first aired on MTV, I had two thoughts. One was how surprised I was to hear what a great voice John Oates had. The second was that John needed to keep his eyes on the road while he was driving that cab 🚖.
How cool is Daryl in this video?........And John's voice is so smooth!
Very cool
I had no idea Oates had such a good voice. He should have sang more songs.
@Johnoatesnusic💋
He has a hell of voice. Smooth and silky.
John Oats has a beautiful voice. This is the only one I came across and remembered how much I love this song is smooth as silk
Oates
You should listen to Cold Dark and Yesterday, another awesome H&O song written and sung by John Oates.
Agreed, oates has such a silky smooth voice. He's an outstanding vocalist in his own right
Well thought out comment silky smooth
I like the message too.
ホール&オーツの曲でいちばん好き。ビデオも素晴らしい！
80年代のNYの夜の雰囲気がそのまま伝わってくるし、NYといえば高層ビル、摩天楼だけど、そうじゃないNYの街並みが新鮮だった。
最後に貿易センタービルがNYの象徴のように映ってたのがせつない。
この時、あんなの事になるなんて誰が想像できただろう。
私もホール&オーツの曲でNo.1だと思います！
私もこの曲が一番好きです。1984年に大阪城ホールにコンサート行きました❗️
ずっと探してました。オーツのリード取った曲で一番好きです。MVの相方が楽しそうなのがいい
thank you! from japan
part of this was filmed in my neighborhood, and me and my 14 year old friends were chasing the car up and down the street! we were so excited to see John Oates 😊

Did you get to meet John Oats too?
Thank you for your story :)
I wish i was born in the 80's but this song is so smooth. On a side note your picture is very pretty just saying.
oh man u are lucky i wish i lived there
John Oates should have sung lead vocals much more than he did...love his voice!!
Agreed, this is straight 🔥
THIS SONG WAS SO UNDERRATED. IT'S A REAL GOOD SONG.
It is awesome 💚
One of the best songs of all time.
Look at their breath! The night was as cold as this groove!
I was just looking at that. Wow it's cold 🥶
My favorite Hall & Oates song!
A real gem from the philly soul boys. John was superb on the lead vocal.
Needs way way more views and a comeback. One of the most underappreciated and unknown hits (not just by Hall & Oates but from the 80s in general).
JPMcFly1985Two!
Good song... Bad thing is not a lot of people here of it
I did see the video aired on VH1 a few times as a kid around 1991-92 but it definitely doesn't seem like it was ever that popular. I checked and it only hit #30 at the time unfortunately.
Love all the dancing by Daryl Hall and the band. So cool.
Excelente cancion
jim68 Me too
Daril hall is duo I'm longtime ago went play Consert live enjyoi time fine . faivoret duo .song my everyday lissttening toyanger my life.🍳🍖
Love baradsong. classic song . best hit time sings.❄
Yup
LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. If only other songs with John Oates being the lead singer were as popular!!!
Most of the songs John sang lead on by himself were not released as singles so they aern't very well known unless you bought that particular album. I love Italian Girls from H2O & Mano a Mano from Private Eyes though.
I recommend" Cold Dark And Yesterday" to you.
Totally agree. John's voice was so smooth and melodic... I have memories of listening to it as a kid back in '89-94 or so, but even a lot of big 80s fans don't seem to know it like most of their other hits.
Found you again. I swear I've read your comments on every single 80s music video on youtube.
I like "All You Want Is Heaven" from X-Static
The Doo Wop in this song is just Flawless, and sets the tone perfectly !
Doo wop 🤝 new wave
Hall & Oats both are great singer's and musicians!
Oates
Yeah,but Hall is way better. He has more soul on his voice
It should be a felony at how great they look in those suits.
What a great vocal by John Oats! I hear a little Smokey Robinson inspiration in his voice. This song is sublime!
Neigh
I agree with you fully, except John's last name is spelled Oates. I played this song on college radio repeatedly.
I can hear some smokey as well
Yeah. I agree
Oates sporting the contemporary Prince look here.
80年代ニューヨークの雰囲気が良いね☺️ 冬っていうのも落ち着きと喧騒が混ざり合う条件みたいで素敵だよね❤️ ホール&オーツの曲のなかでもベスト5に入る好きな曲だなぁ🎵💕
Love this song! Grew up on Hall and Oats!
I've gone through some of the musical careers of several artists and there's a characteristic that most artists share; they all have one or two big time hits and several filler songs.
Hall and Oates are one of those few artists that produced timeless hits every single time! I can hardly name a bad song of theirs! All of them are full of heart!
One of the most underrated songs of all time. They had so many
I have ALwAYS remembered the bit where they fight for the sugar and Darryl gives it up so John can use it; gives up the lead singing gig, so that John can stun us with his talent. They were an incredible duo.
Sad what they're going through now, hope everything works out with them
Одна из лучших песен Холла и Оутса, если не лучшая... Хотя у них все песни - лучшие
2:56 My fav part 😊
I never realized it until now, but when John Oates gets out of the cab wearing the suit, his passengers are sitting in the back just watching this unfold. Kind of like, "Wait here a minute. It's my solo spot!" I always assumed he pulled up alone. But it's a great moment to see him fronting the group.
the most underrated song of any band or singer here since 1984 and for the young fellows, now you understand that our era was great? I love this album completely
You speak truth bruh
2:53 Daryl Hall definitely having a good time with John Oates
ProJosh 4896 I know😎....They all looked like they were really enjoying themselves in this video. Especially Daryl❤️
this video showcases their friendship and that camaraderie rarely came across in their videos or onstage - i saw them at the Meadowlands in NJ for the album Big Bam Boom which this song is on - they were kinda boring
Absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time.
Talk about SMOOTH.
John Oates has such a beautiful voice... my crush in the 80s😘😘

John Oates nailed this song😊 Love it😍😍😍
John’s voice is so soothing
You know there's something you need
Right here and now
To fill the space inside of yourself
Oh, with money, love or power
When you want to have
The number one, first-run anyone
You're crazy 'til you own them
You ought to know
Better than that, girl
The more that you buy
The less you get back
You could say
It's a case of
Possession obsession
Just a taste of
Possession obsession
Brings of a case of possession
I hear you say gimme gimme
Now gimme gimme gimme
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
The compulsion to count
The percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
Can turn an hour into a crime
Oh, all the good times suffer
Though you know it's only jealousy
But you can't help but be
Haunted by your passion
Now, don't you know
It's a matter of fact
The more that you take
The less you give back
I can say
It's a case of
Possession obsession
Just a taste of
Possession obsession
Brings of a case of possession
I hear you say gimme gimme
Now gimme gimme gimme
Gimme gimme possession
Ooh, gimme gimme gimme
Gimme gimme gimme
Ooh, it's a case of
Possession obsession
Just a taste of
Possession obsession
Brings of a case of possession
I hear you say possession
Now, don't you know
It's a matter of fact
The more that you take
(Gimme some)
The less you give back
Thank U Sweetie💖💖💖🤗💋😘😊

thank you😊
John sounds great doing leads in one of their songs. This is the first Hall & Oates song I’ve ever heard whereas John does leads.
I fell in love with this song because it was John singing. Not taking anything away from Daryl, but John had a sexy soulful voice. This song turned me on. 😆😆😆
You sure it wasn't the cowbells?
Oates did not always receive due credit for his role in the duo’s success.
Yes, it was a pleasant surprise! Love the video, love the song.
@@davestewart2067 I never realized how much songwriting John has done. Btw, aere Daryl and john still an act together, what with Daryl doing "Live From Daryl's House" and John doing his own thing? I hope they're still The Dynamic Duo, but i'm happy with their legacy of great music and fine memories! :)
Check out his guest vocal spot on a track called "Love is fire" by the Canadian band Parachute Club. It really enhanced the song.
I heard this song today and I'm like...is that Oates on the lead? Looked it up and yep.
Never realized how many songs John sang lead on. I had to warm up but he sounds great
I was a fan of Hall and Oates 80's stuff (mainly Out Of Touch). It was a busy work week and I was listening to 80's tunes to unwind and thought about why Daryl Hall was always singing and re-discovered this song.

You heard this song on your car radio after watching the video and imagined the same images rushing past your window. Didn't matter if you were in NYC or Philly or Omaha, this one's a classic from the music video era.
John Oates voice is fantastic on this song and I wish he had sang lead on more songs because it really is a sweet sound he has
One of the most underrated songs of all time
R.I.P. T-Bone You Are Missed. You'll Always be one of the greatest EVER.
WHO T-BONE MENDEZ FROM GTA SAN ANDREAS?
LOL
San Andreas never had any songs from Hall & Oates.
Saw these guys just last night. The playful interactions between them in this video are true to life. Great friends, incredible musicians. Love these guys so much
Me too! They made my life better!
Best song on this album and best video.
This song is one of their top 40 songs in Billboard hot 100 single chart, The peak position of this song was 30th and it remained 12 weeks on chart in 1985. Possession and Obsession is well loved song of Hall & Oates until today.
Probably my fav H&O song.
2:37, Daryl looks like he is about to burst into laughter. They were probably having the greatest time making this video and not taking themselves too seriously. I'd have a hard time doing this without laughing.
I absolutely love them entire Hall and Oates music library. But this has always been my favorite for some reason. It's grossly underrated as well.
This, Family Man, Adult education, and Alone too long are very underated.
長年ホール＆オーツを聞いていても、今日初めて出会った曲です。
出だしから既に隠れた名曲であることは確かに感じました。鳥肌が経ちました。Private eyesも良いがこのposession obsessionも最高の1曲です。
これからのヘビーローテーション決定です。
PVと同じく、夜のドライブに最高👍
A very mysterious rhythm with the clip. Midnight breeze
I haven't heard this song before but now that I have I've replayed about 10 times so far...great jam!
when i saw this songs pop up in youtube like i am a fan of hall and oates so i thought it would another rip off type of song a few minutes later i started this song when i saw john coming out with the taxi i was about to skip the music so when the singing and the music started it became my fav song
.....only 10x's??😉😎
This song will get you a speeding ticket a smooth highway jam
This is by far their most underrated song, the video is great too.
this is what soul music should be.
It was criminal that this fantastic song peaked at #30 in 1985 on American Top 40(Billboard Hot 100).
Always loved this song. It never got enough air play
John Oats was a hidden talent. He had a soulful voice but record producers want Daryl Hall to do most of the singing. How humble was John to put his talent on the backburner.
This is my favorite song..love it!
Believe it barely touched the top 40, #38 possibly. Both this song and “Method of Modern Love” were deserving of higher chart spots.
@@davestewart2067 peaked at #30. Way too low.
Dave Stewart - Method did hit the top 5 in the US in early’85.
Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s we heard lots of great music. We are the lucky ones. Today's music is not nearly a meaniful.
3:57 I've seen this video a hundred times. First I've noticed the WTC, the day after the 23rd anniversary
One of my favorite H&O songs
I agree whole hearted!
Got the Bing Bang Boom album for Christmas in 1984. Love this song. One of my favs on the album and still is in 2018!
Man ! The voices. The harmonies. And all delivered with so much soul ! ❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Are you kiddin' me? I've never heard this. John Oats taking the lead. He's got a very nice voice! What a pleasant surprise and good beat. Thank you for posting this.
Oates. Check out John's lead also on the earlier "How Does it Feel To Be Back." it also peaked at #30 (U.S. Billboard pop).
@@shiroibasketshoes I will check it out! Thank you very much for the suggestion and have a nice day
On hearing this I'm surprised John Oates didn't sing lead vocals more.
John has a very lovely voice. Smooth and soulful.
Happy Birthday Daryl

John Oates looks like Prince in this video 💜💜💜

(Gimme some) Gimme some, ayy
Just a taste of possession obsession
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah, yeah
