Musical Interlude: Adult Education (1983)

When Hall & Oates released "Adult Education" in 1983, it represented a change of pace for the duo, better known for soft, safe pop songs like "Sara Smile", "She's Gone", and "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)". The video is set in a pagan temple, but I didn't quite understand the correlation between the video and the song, and even to this day, I still don't. I pictured something different, like maybe a high school setting, to go along with the song itself. I'm figuring this was intended for high school seniors at the very least, preparing to graduate. It's a little unsettling having a chorus of cheerleaders' voices coming out of John Oates' mouth, but that's just me.......
