"Maneater", by Hall and Oates.

I first heard OF that song around 1989-1990.  I first heard that song around the end of last year.  I don't think Billy Joel was inspired by it when he wrote this song. He actually started with an attempt to write a rap song, then discovered he couldn't write rap songs, so he started over.
