In one of the more bizarre '80s-related news items of the week, pop-soul singers Daryl Hall & John Oates are suing their music publisher for not protecting their rights to 1982's Maneater.

The lawsuit says Hall & Oates discovered in 2007 that another songwriter had used their hit song in a recording in 2006. The suit against Warner/Chappell Music Inc. seeks "unspecified money damages and want to terminate their agreement with Warner/Chappell," according to the Associated Press.

Really? Maneater? I mean, if there was ever a Hall & Oates hit to sort of let go of, it's probably that one. It's meandering, borderline-annoying and largely forgettable some 26 years later. That being said, I say sue the pants off any contemporary pop bozo who dares touch the work of the mighty Hall & Oates.
