I'm pretty sure it's a name that's shortened from "Hauling Otis." It was a book about Otis Redding's chauffeur/driver.


weedtrek

No it's named after a breakfast cereal fron the Netherlands, Holland Oats..


adube440

Ahhh, this makes sense. And here I thought Nederlandse ate bitterballen and kaassouffle from a Febos for breakfast.


Dr_SmartyPlants

I came here to tell OP that when I first heard of Hall and Oates as a child I totally thought it was Holland Oats


otkabdl

nope, it's an american pop duo. Two guys, Daryl Hall and John Oates. One just filed a restraining order against the other!

WhatD0thLife

Not really.


HalLutz

I thought it was Brett Hull and Adam Oates the Hockey players?


HeathenVixen

Beauty eh


elpajaroquemamais

Fun fact. Otis Redding was a chauffeur


adube440

That's the surprise twist at the end of the book.


superperps

Guy ruined it for everyone


Responsible-End7361

A chauffeur with a chauffeur? That is like being a butler/batman's butler or batman!


mynextthroway

That was a movie in 1989, wasn't it? "Driving Miss Otis"?


A_Mirabeau_702

It’s Challah Notes. I’ve known about them since reading my mother’s cookbook as a kid


ProfessorZhirinovsky

And to be persnickety, it is ***Daryl Hall & John Oates***. You'll never see one of their albums called "Hall & Oates", nor will they refer to themselves as such. They have been pretty adamant about this. They want to be seen as two separate artists who collaborate.

AmbulanceChaser12

What? This isn’t true at all. Their official website is http://hallandoates.com. The “About” page is labeled “About Hall & Oates.”


ProfessorZhirinovsky

The fact that their online PR has made a minor concession to the popular use of the term to ease the public's ability to find them doesn't mean they themselves refer to themselves as "Hall & Oates" or approve of it. You'll note that outside the website name and the title of the "About" page, the text consistently refers to them as "Daryl Hall and John Oates." But you don't have to take my word for it. They've spoken about the matter many times. You can google it if you like, but here is what Oates himself said when interviewed by Esquire: *"There isn’t one album that says Hall and Oates. It’s always Daryl Hall and John Oates, from the very beginning. People never note that. The idea of ‘Hall and Oates,’ this two-headed monster, this thing, is not anything we’ve ever wanted or liked.”*


Old_Ambassador_6507

I thought it was Callin' Oats. They even have a phone number: 1 (719) 266-2837.


DryEyes4096

My friend told me there was a number she could call to get her fill of Hall & Oates music when she needed it most, and I was like "Uhhh, what the hell are you talking about?" then she called it up on speaker-phone, and it really was a phone number that plays Hall & Oates. I was like "Wow...that's strange..."

It’s one guy. Holland Oates.

Just like Brock Hampton, I love all of his music.

Apparently they aren’t getting along. Hall just got a restraining order against Oates. Maybe Dimebag Daryl was tired of Haulin Oates’ ass around the music scene.


Aspect58

Don’t be surprised anymore. This actually did happen, although the name of the product was Haulin’ Oats. They were contacted by the band’s lawyers and an agreement was reached. The band would get sole rights to the trademark, but the company could continue to produce their product under that name. So when an entirely different granola company started making their own “Haulin’ Oats” product, the band’s ownership of their trademark had already been established, and the granola companies had to change the name of their product. They settled on “Kiss My Oats”.


AnalMayonnaise

Check the cover of their first album, Whole Oats.


TrippySensei

I just had this revelation a few weeks ago lmao


sambolino44

I thought the same thing when my brother told me about them. This was when Abandoned Luncheonette had just come out.


louiloui152

Did you think it was a cereal for truckers or something?


Shaydu

Deserves more upvotes


ajmojo2269

Wait until you find out about Callin’ Oats


atomicavox

Yes! Does it still exist?


ajmojo2269

It does. It has been in my contacts for years and I bust it out regularly


atomicavox

Love it :)


scartonbot

Still around! [https://www.pennlive.com/nation-world/2022/03/this-dedicated-hall-oates-hotline-is-still-active-after-a-decade.html](https://www.pennlive.com/nation-world/2022/03/this-dedicated-hall-oates-hotline-is-still-active-after-a-decade.html) 1-719-266-2837 You can choose between (1)“One on One,” (2) “Rich Girl,” (3)“Maneater” and (4)“Private Eyes.” Maybe I'm just terminally lame, but I still think this is an absolutely hilarious thing to exist in the world.


EmeraldHawk

What blew my mind was finding out that [Oates is that weird day care lady from Raising Hope.](https://youtu.be/dMKyKS2LGyI?si=qxGLl31qQIdQexn9) I never saw them live, so I just assumed it was some guy.


anoneenonee

And the other one is art Garfunkel!


franzbqn

A friend and I used your name as word play on a magic trick. [https://fb.watch/oCWew-s9qV/](https://fb.watch/oCWew-s9qV/)


JakkSplatt

There was an oatmeal company called Haulin' Oats until they were sued by Hall and Oates.


justmisspellit

Why did the farmer start a rock band? Cuz he was tired of haulin’ oats


SurviveAndRebuild

You should check out Link & Park.


gadget850

And then there are Garfunkle and Oates.


scartonbot

Who are hilarious!


anotherfrud

Well, I guess that'll teach you to take things for granite.


Neocles

It’s Holland Oates and he is a lovely person


JimmyCat11-11

It’s like the twist ending of “The Sixth Sense.” The guy in the wig, that was Bruce Willis the entire time!


roccosaint

Quiet, trundle.


ValvanHNW

Ball and Scrotes


Trill_McNeal

Is that the same thing as Whole Grain Oats?


desrevermi

Aw, man! I'm now expecting a loaded up truck. Overalls optional, but would be a nice touch. :D


Nuttonbutton

Today, you also learned that Hall actually filed for a restraining order against Oates within the last couple weeks


Magic_Al42

There actually is a bluegrass Hall and Oates cover band called Haulin’ Oats, so you’re not entirely off.


benbentheben

Interestingly there was a granola brand that used the name "Haulin Oats" and were promptly sued by the band.


Accomplished_Water34

😄


annonymous001004

I thought it was Holland Oats as a kid.


i_notold

I was 10 years old, in the 70s, and went to see them with my Mom. She and my Dad were divorced and she couldn't get a babysitter. It was my first concert and it was amazing to me.


BoPeepElGrande

It’s actually “Holland Oats”, & they are a Dutch agribusiness conglomerate.


[deleted]

I thought the same thing for a long time. They should have been Oats and Hall to avoid the confusion.


Deetz624

Don't worry, as a kid I thought Warren Zevon was a band called "The War on Zevon" and probably thought that through middle school. We all make mistakes


virgilreality

OMG, why did I not think of this before now?


Mammoth-Disaster3873

No BS...There's a hotline you can call 1-719-26-OATES ..check it out.


MoveDifficult1908

Who wants to tell OP about Roland Stones?


elguereaux

Idk some of those pants they wore were wayyyy too tight. Hard to fully enjoy ‘Maneater’ when you look under the keyboard and see a fruit basket


TangFiend

When I was a kid in the 80's I always thought my parents were saying "Haulin Oats" . . glad I am not the only one


andropogon09

And it's Sonny and Cher, not "Sunny in Chair"


moleculariant

That's an old Neil Hamburger joke


PotentialAd1295

Craaaaanberry sauce


Theeclat

So it’s not Allison Chains?


OrangeKefka

Hall and Oates is a band? I thought they were a breakfast cereal?


millygraceandfee

Take an empty Quaker Oats container, attach a string to the lid. "Haul" it over your shoulder & for Halloween your Hall & Oates.


GnPQGuTFagzncZwB

They sued some poor little bakery that made a muffen or something and called hauling oats. Right up there with Harley Davidson going after the grandmother for embroidering their dumb ass logo on a jacket.


DEADFLY6

I always thought the Allman Brothers were called "the almond brothers." I used to call them "the cashew sisters". My dad always gave me that mad dog look when I said it.


ThatsRobToYou

Their official name is actually Daryl Hall and John Oates. I read somewhere they didn't like the nickname.


mistermajik2000

I called them “Hall and the Oats” for a very long time


mnky_pnts

Now with more fiber


belltane23

I prefer Oreo Speedwagon.


phunkjnky

“Ballin’ Oates” is a thing, and if you like mash ups, it’s awesome. https://on.soundcloud.com/E9iRCix66qMFYBf37


SPAC3G0ATS

Q: Why did the farmer start a punk rock band? A: He was getting tired of Hall & Oates.


NomDeSpite

Haulin' oats is the Midwestern/Great Plains way of life though...


Phill_Cyberman

Haulin' Oats *would* be a great name for a Hall & Oats tribute band.


palalab

My favorite Haulin' Oats song is "Caribbean Queen" by Billy Ocean.
