Apparently, some people think Daryl Hall and John Oates did this song . . .
I 'acquired' a digital copy of this back in the Napster piracy days. Whoever ripped it labeled the artist as H&O. It still says that on my iPhone.
I remember those days. It was Metallica, of all bands, who had Napster’s file-sharing service (to give it its proper name) labeled as “piracy”. This was a redux of the old “Home taping is killing music” (which I’ve seen on records from Europe mostly). When Metallica was first attempting to get noticed, they would distribute copies of their demo, “No Life Till Leather”, for free.
Bands traditionally did not make money from record sales, unless they were the owners of their own catalog; such things were for the record companies, while the band made money from touring.
