Just what is "ooh yeah!"?


Obviously I've decided to call my blog "ooh yeah!" which is a reference to the 1988 Daryl Hall and John Oates album by the same name. If you read my profile already you'll know that I am an UBER H&O fan. At the suggestion of a very close friend I decided to begin blogging about my travels, general H&O information and personal feelings about the band and their work.

Rather than kill this first post with a lot of blabber from me. I think the following prose from Daryl really sums up what I am trying to get across here. This is my "ooh yeah!".

Ooh Yeah is what you say when your spot gets hit
Ooh Yeah is what you say when you crack your neck
Ooh Yeah is what you say when you hit the long ball
Ooh Yeah is what you say when you roll a strike
Ooh Yeah is what you say when its ReaLove
Ooh Yeah is what you say when you remember
Ooh Yeah is what you say when the sun is shining
Ooh Yeah is what you say when the water's perfect
Ooh Yeah is what you say when your dream is walkin' down the street
Ooh Yeah is what you say when you understand
Ooh Yeah is what you say when you step on the gas and it really moves
Ooh Yeah is what you say when the love comes down
Ooh Yeah is what you say when your horse comes in
Ooh Yeah is what you say when the groove feels right
Ooh Yeah is what you say when the music moves you

-Daryl Hall
