Maneater - No Hard Feelings (2023 film) (Andrew Barth Feldman) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Maneater" is an iconic track from American duo Hall & Oates' 1982 eleventh studio album, H2O. Daryl Hall, in collaboration with John Oates and Edgar Winter, initially conceived "Maneater" as a reggae-inflected tune. However, influenced by Motown rhythms and a key suggestion from his then-girlfriend Sara Allen, he transformed the track into its now-famous version. Contrary to surface interpretations, John Oates clarified that the lyrics metaphorically depicted the decadence and greed rampant in 1980s New York City, a creative approach also evident in their earlier hit "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)." Featuring a bassline reminiscent of 1960s Supremes, and atmospheric elements akin to Giorgio Moroder's film scores, the song remained atop the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. Its enduring appeal was highlighted in 2023, with a ballad rendition by Andrew Barth Feldman in the film No Hard Feelings, further cementing its legacy in popular culture.
