Sensational mashup of one of my personal (and Shireblogger 's) favourite Supremes' tracks My World is Empty Without You and Hall & Oates' Maneater.
Amazing just how similar the songs are.

It would be .... except at one of Daryl Hall's Live at Daryl's videocasts where he has a different singer/songwriter with him.... On one occasion his guest was Lamont Dozier one third of the Holland-Dozier-Holland Motown songwriting partnership; and they retold the story how John Oates wrote the core of Maneater (or "Here She Comes" as it was known then in 1976), but was later finished off/improved by Hall & his then muse/life partner Sara Allen & retooled as "Maneater". But the thing was "Here She Comes" was written as a reply song to "My World Is Empty Without You" before the narrative was changed so that the male protagonist was now afraid the female victim was going to be out for revenge. But even though they felt it was a hit they wanted to clear it by H-D-H before recording and releasing. Which they did after meeting Lamont Dozier & Eddie Holland at the 1980 Grammy Awards in 1981.
A good job Marvin Gaye's estate lawyer, and the idiot jury of the Blurred Lines plagiarism case were not around .....

I really like that. A great example of how to construct a mash-up.
