I always liked the Philly sound texturing that Hall and Oates added to this song. Gives it a bigger fuller sound.

I prefer the original.

Even though I am the proud owner of the Tubular Bells album, I am surprising even myself by prefering the Hall & Oates cover.

I like what Hall & Oates did to this one.

Hall & Oats does this song well.

I had to post this for the novelty of it. Never was a big fan of Hall and Oates. In fact Oates always seemed kind of creepy to me.

I was surprised this song came from Mike Oldfield when I bought his album in the 80s.

Funny, someone made that same observation in a recent conversation. It was the 'stache, man...it was the 'stache.

Well, I'd always thought the version by Hall & Oates was the original. Holy Crow, remember how BIG they were for a while in the late '70s-early '80s???

They were BIG, man. B-I-G. Even if that 'stache was pretty creepy...
