Hall & Oates visits 'Dancing With the Stars'

Hall_and_Oates Oooh, ooh, here they come. Hall & Oates is rumored to be performing Maneater on Tuesday night's Dancing With the Stars. Is that enough to make us watch?

Not a chance. I may have sold my soul long ago for a XXL jersey from REO Speedwagon's 1981 tour and a butts-out hug from Deborah Gibson, but I've yet to watch a single moment of ABC's hit TV show. Even with Belinda Carlisle and Apple wunderkind Steve Wozniak on the cast this season.

Hall & Oates is on tour now (April 15 at Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall), so I applaud their savvy marketing ploy. And come to think of it, I can think of 5 better songs for Hall & Oates to perform on TV.
