MUSTACHE OF THE DAY: JOHN OATES
In keeping with our recent fascination with Yacht Rock, we award the Mustache of the Day to mellow tunester John Oates, whose fine ’stache is seen in all of its glory here in the atrocious “Private Eyes” video.
There’s much worse, by the way, in the H’nO oeuvre. Much worse.

Sammie, your thoughts on H&O are not needed at this time (jay whitlow)
eric y: Kahuna, if that has been your favorite song since you were a kid I would recommend you take a trip to Siagon where they still do backstreet lobotomies.

Which brings to mind another thematic day idea: Mullet Mondays.
Just rolls off the tongue.

H&O played at The Palace of Fine Arts last night here in SF- tickets were SEVENTY SIX DOLLARS before the ticketfucker add on cost, so the moustache obviously still has an immense power to lure people in and part ways with large sums of cash.

Orson, I can’t believe you forgot the Hall and Oates masterpiece “I Can’t Go For That”, which has been my favorite song since I was six years old. The video isn’t quite as bad though.
Wow. Seriously, was there a catchier pop group in the early 80’s?

This is my favorite mustache of the day ever! The Circus magazine cover made me squee like a teenage girl, as was its intention.

John Oates is the reincarnation of Charlie Chaplin.
He later went on to a successful PGA carrier under the nom de guerre Corey Pavin.
His cartwheeling prowess is legendary.

Anybody save that Bass Guitar Survey?
Just curious to know which bass guitars were preferred in 1977.
Also - is John Leguizamo the son of Oates? Look deep behind the ’stache, and far under the perm.
