Songoftheday 4/18/12 - If you find yourself alone, and when going out is coming home...

Daryl Hall & John Oates - "Did It In A Minute"
from the album Private Eyes (1981)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #9 (two weeks)

Today's Song Of The Day, the third single from the Philly blue-eyed soul duo's first top-10 album, remains my favorite Hall & Oates tune of all time. There's nothing special about it, no bells, no whistles, just the most sugary infectious pop hook ever. It followed their double #1 success of the title track and "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)", and marked the peak of their artistic and chart career.
