It reached number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart on December 18, 1982.〔Whitburn, Joel (2004). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 8th Edition (Billboard Publications)〕 It remained in the top spot for four weeks, more than any of the duo's five other number-one hits, including "Kiss on My List", which remained in the top spot for three weeks. ==Background and writing== In an interview with ''American Songwriter'' in 2009,〔2〕 Daryl Hall recalled,
Hall also opined, "We try and take chances. Our new single "Maneater" isn't something that sounds like anything else on the radio. The idea is to make things better." John Oates has explained that while it is natural to assume the lyrics are about a woman, the song actually was originally written "about NYC in the ’80s. It’s about greed, avarice, and spoiled riches. But we have it in the setting of a girl because it’s more relatable. It’s something that people can understand. That’s what we do all of the time", after describing how they took a similar approach with the earlier song "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maneater (Hall & Oates song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
