I never heard a song by The Hooters called "500 Miles". I can think of two songs by that title: one country song sung by many people, originally I think by Bobby Bare; and one by the Scottish duo The Proclaimers. I suspect you are referring to neither of those two. The only Hooters songs I know are "All You Zombies", and "And We Danced."
As for OOALH, it's not that I don't like it...had I never heard anything else by Yes I would probably say it's a good pop song, but it just pales for me against most of the songs from their 70s classic period, and even against much of their contemporary material from the 1980s when OOALH was released. Have you actually heard that album (90125) in full? If you check it out, you may or may not agree with my assessment of OOALH versus its contemporaries, but you should at least hear what I am talking about. There are at least five songs on that album that I rate higher: "Leave It", ""It Can Happen", "Changes", "Our Song" and "Hearts".
