Chorus:
Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
Don't even think about it
Say no go
I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything
That you want me to, ooh
But I can't go for that, no (no) no can do
No, I can't go for that, no (no) no can do
I can't go for that, no (no) no can do

HAPPY 76TH BIRTHDAY JOHN OATES (APRIL 7, 2024)
😮😊👏🏻
Hey its my bday too!! I never knew we shared a bday!
Still taking. I love it
Happy bday! I just saw them last summer and it was like yesterday
Where is that guy today?and doing what?
That tinkling electronic keyboard really makes the song dreamy.
Cocaine?
And the drum machine, the sparse guitar parts, the saxophone solo... this is one of my favorite songs of all time
the harmonies too... very dreamy
Darryl Hall had more Soul than many brothers I knew in the 80's.... and I'm a Brother!
Truth...I am a sister 😂
CORRECT
That's why so many black folks love him. It's a beautiful thing. That voice is soooooo smooth.
Im a cousin....
I'm a grandpa 😮
People don't realize how much fog we had back in the 80's
Lol😂
😂😂
LOL
Lol, that ish was everywhere
Different times. Take another 30 years off and everything was in black and white. BLACK. AND. WHITE!
let's admit, that's one badass beat
It's so groovy...i find myself humming it from nowhere most times...so catchy
Yes
aujourd8 True
Is it!! Yes!
How about it in De La Soul's say no go. It's an awesome track and I'd live to hear the 2 mixed into each other!
Some people didn’t even realize Hall n Oates were cutting albums in the mid 70’s. Their sound has been around for 50 years.
😅
i can go for that
You betcha! I can go for that too!
Class of '77 kid here. Smack dab in the middle of the best of the '70's and the '80's. Music is a reflection of the times and it was surreal! 😊🫂❤️
Question! I find this tune at the beginning very similar to Simply Red - Sunrise, also some lyrics. Simply Red just took their beat?
The intelligent combination of the guitar touch, the saxophone, and the keyboard makes this classy song an unforgettable icon of the 80s.
jaM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
Don't forget to add the bass line.
@@apollo-ec2pm Yes thank you! I had an urge to listen to this song on the way to work. My grandpa's car doesn't have bluetooth so it was just my phone. It was awful not being able to hear that beautiful bassline.
Absolutely iconic look and sound of the early 80s. Everything about it is perfect
Daryll said that when they where making "we are the world" MJ came over to him and told Daryll that his bass line from "I can't go for that" inspired his Iconic bass line to ",Billy Jean". Can you imagine that!!! That's one hell of a compliment.
Crazy! Didn't know that...
That's awesome! You can definitely hear the similarities!!!
no wonder the first beats is a little similar to billie jean
Baby Be Mine also kinda sounds similar to this song
@@leonardodacapris302 qqqqqqqqqq1qo
That intro is legendary.
Facts
Legends...
Michael Jackson thought so and borrowed for Billie Jean
No shit
U right
"One of the coldest and sickest beats in hip-hop history🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥"
💀💀💀
💀💀💀
This isn't hip hop this is music created by musicians not sampled by someone who can't even play an instrument.
@@NathanBrookenright on man 👏
It's not hip hop though it's more like rhythm and blues.
“You got the body, now you want my soul”…music business now has both. This is truly a song for the ages
Michael Jackson said this song was his inspiration for Billie Jean.
I mean he's said that he directly took the bassline for Billie Jean. The only difference is the synth bass added on top
I can definitely see that. I can hear the similarities of the bass line
@@terucks Yes. Also listen to "Maneater" and then listen to "My World Is Empty Without You" by The Supremes. You saw how Motown was a major influence on them, as seen in the Behind The Music Documentary. So many amazing Blue Eyed Soul Singers, Len Barry, Karen Young, and Vickie Sue Robinson.
Love billie Jean song to.
I read that the song Billy Jean was actually created when Michael Jackson was reading a newspaper about a lady who is pregnant maybe it was a man that was denying her
This song gets better and better as modern pop music goes further and further into the sewer.
Man that's the best comment ever!
Sounds like something many parents would say about any modern music vs. the music of their day
Snarethedrummer - Except the music of my parents day is objectively better than the trash on the radio today.
There wasn't a single, surgically modified fat-ass in the world in my parents day. Body parts were simply not the focus of entertainment.
+mchurch72 Music, like most art, progresses over time. It builds on the past to create something new and different and often more technical. An example of this is that this drum machine sounds like total garbage compared to modern synthesized drum machines/beats. It's a pretty glaring fallacy to suggest that music just keeps getting worse. What does happen is most people's taste doesn't evolve with new culture. A surgically modified fat ass has zero bearing and relevance in arguing about the music/art that the person who has one produces.
This song is still good. Because it is so well sung and the rhythm. Daryl was one of the best r&b singers out there.
Who told them they can they make a song this great ?
Who is listening in 2021? ✌️❤️🎶
I am. Great music
Me too
Baker 4 Theotis Beasley
Yo...
Most definitely
Smooth AF. We need more smooth tunes.
Yesss I love the beginning it's so soothing
You’re right about that!!!!
I will start the movement again
This song is addictive 😍
Big Facts, Robert. 🙏
This takes me back to my Teenage years in the 1980s. My friends, warm sunny days and a positive outlook for the future. What's happened to the world since then. I preferred it back then
It sucks that we cannot go back. Just one single day I would want.
We got older I feel the same I remember feeling like that telling my dad and him telling your young you can do anything i didn't listen I've done alright I could've should've done better we all wish we could go back
Regan
Me too
So true!!
Happy birthday John Oates
Daryl is so swag here, damn.
I love it 😭
He's a natural born swag!
pretty rad, dog.
i thought they were from Philly?
Yeah they are
How is possible to make so much heavy hit... Legendary Hall and Oates
I think I just found one of those russian trolls everyone's talking about.
+MrManerd Huh? He was complimenting H&O, what does that have to do with Russian trolls?
I was commenting on his use of the English language. P.S. you do realize that fake/scam accounts paste random (and sometimes complimentary) comments to avoid being flagged as abusive right??? or is this the first time you're hearing that???
MrManerd You sound like you know nothing of what you're talking about.
@@MrManerdIf barely coherent English is a sign of bots then a good third of the comments on KZhead must be made by bots!
The beat rythm and tempo just seem to effortlessly glide! Man do I wish I was born back in the GOOD old days!
I remember my Pop was listening to this as he drove us to Kmart for school shopping in 1981.
Omg, my aunt loved this group, I remember when I was like 8 and she would be listening to them when I stay over and her and her friend used to smoke joints, drink wine, and dance. Lol, I think she was a bad influence, she was my fav auntie, I love you aunt Linda
i love you too
you're adopted
+Super Hans never forgot she's adopted
+Limberg Perez me too cept my aunt did not have that name lol. She still has them on record even lol
+B Classen and I mean the original when it first came out hard to believe we r back to records lol
Blue-eyed soul at it's finest. Brothers from another mother.
♥ 👍
They were always Loved and Respected in the Black Community !
Father's God. Doesn't take no mess mess.
@@marlonhosten4693 Yes, and rightfully so
I just read that they are in dispute- BREAKS MY HEART! I pray they sort this out peacefully! I was just watching a Film on Netflix and this song was played in the Police Car. So HAD to come and listen again. I then typed g@@gle to see what they are doing now - only to read about a Law Suit etc. Saddens me greatly- I thought they were great friends. Sending much love and prayers from the UK. I was shocked to read that both men are now in their 70s, but then I am in my 60s now. Gosh TIME FLIES!! I hear this music and it catapults me back to the 1980s when I was at University and I attended clubs or parties and this and their music was played over and over and over again. Then travelled from Britain to Nigeria in the 1980 - to visit my late mum - same thing at parties! Phew! Their music truly blessed generations. These men are legends!! Happy memories ❤
Hall and Oates were ahead of the Music Industry...And it Shows with THIS EPIC SONG..😑
My ex wants to try again and this song is perfect because I can’t go for that...no can do
😂😂😂😂😂
thaht funay michelle....can't go for that no
I agree to hell with that mean old SOB lol enjoy your life...Never live in the past....
“I can’t go for that” 😂
HA! Poor guy
They way he serenades his "I"s.... I can go for that🥰
Yesssss
Ooooohhh YEAAAH !!!!!!! You’re Very Beautiful, by the way! I’m Just being Honest :)
Thank you😁
@@paularena3812 You’re welcome sweetheart :)
Still Dope….💯
80's fans, there's an *awesome* original 80's inspired band today called *Fire* *Tiger*
There's also CANNONS!!! My Lord she's a goddess. And every song is a twist on an 80's song's vibe. Like "Ruthless" has an A Flock Of Seagulls chord progression. They're amazing. I'm checking out Fire Tiger now. Thanks!
Fire Tiger is my new favorite band! Epic music that reminds me of the good old days. Thank you!!
@@j.t.creations70480
so they grab people thanks to nostalgia. thats so cool (not)
But I don't want 80s songs now. We had them in the 80s! I want incredible 2020s bands now. Why did MUSIC have to end in the 80s? Why is everything now just 80s "tribute bands"? Why did the music die? Was it Reagan? Why?!
My favorite Hall & Oats song of all time.
this is funky as hell
yeeess
Yes it is!!
Blue-eyed soul. :)
Blue-eyed funky soul.
TRUE
Still listening to this in 2019!
Nathan Butler Jr. yep lol
Same here! Zero shame!
Listened for the first time today. Awesome.
And we'll never stop!!!
I could never stop listening to this
2024 and I still can’t go for that! No NO!
i love how they make their melodies and harmonies sound like synths. its so euphoric. "noOooo"
They're Talking About Not Selling Out To The Industry. Pure Genius
I'm trying to sell my soul if anyone is interested but no one is 😏
i guess they refused the infamous compromat sex video that you hear about new artists having to make. good for them!
Listen to this at nightime in your car while crossing a bridge in a major east coast city while looking at the skyline. Thats the coolest you will ever be.
Mike Bennet Now I have something new to add to my bucket list!!!
Or San Francisco which is like an east coast city
Tion Davis That's good to know about San Francisco being like an East Coast city. I think it's cool that you brought a unique perspective here!
You have got that so on the money!!! This sound was all about serious chill....there was a crossover between innocence and sensuality.
Yeah, you just can't just go for the sky... Not by car
Anyone else here in 2024? ❤
Stop listening to this is a no can do
❤
One of my all time favorite tunes
O yes
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The harmonies are just too good, insane in fact 🎶🎷
I just discovered today this song is not about a relationship with a woman. It’s about their relationship to music industry and how people will bully you if you allow them to make you sacrifice your creativity. How cool is that?! I’m so glad my father raised me on this music.
Me too
I was today years old
Learn something new everything
Well I’ll be damned! Read this and had to listen to the song again! Now I understand so many things about Hall and Oats and their music career!
I heard Maneater is about NYC and I agree so cool
If you're human...This song circulates in your soul
I'd be honored if some late 70s/early 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by Michael McDonald, SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire, and YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN by Ambrosia on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of the era. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
I'm an Elephant and it swirls in my soul too
@@isaacj8751 😂🤣🤣🤣..Love it!!!!
it probably wont work on trump he' not human
@@nicholassaenz4225 definitely not..😂😂
They want me to stop listening to Hall&Oats.....but I CANT GO FOR THAT!!!
Akram Saaidi lol me too no can do
no can dooo
But noone says that
Akram Saaidi LoL! Good one!

20 years young , I live in Anaheim, we still bumping it, family jamz💖💕

This is my life's theme song, and 🎵I can't stop listening to it. They want me to stop but I can't go for that.
Anyone else watching in 2024? 👇🏻

Definitely! I only listen to the past ❤️
Moi 🇨🇵
Si, yo! Dicen que, la introduccion de simply red, es parecida a este tema😊
moi a paris ce jour 27/04/2024
It’s now 2020 so who’s here still listening to this timeless classic ?
Me homeboy
Trying to convince my band to cover it. We've been a Tool cover band up until now, I don't know if it'll happen
Yep.
@@theHumanBryno Bring the cougars to the dance floor with this old hit. Bon Jovi they start getting naked.
G Branson me of course
This song is so 80's my computer just switched over to DOS
+Cameron Lilly Is it coughing up floppy disks too?
+Cameron Lilly kudos
best comment!!!
+Jacques Malecaut I think you mean kuDOS ((((((;;;;;;
Sure is.... so fun to sing along to, huh?! :)
This song was number one on both the pop and r & b charts back in 1981
Hall & Oates ... my FAVORITE group of the 80's. So many hits after hits after hits. Every songs would make you stomp your feet to the rhythm, shake your head or simply make you dance around. Such a talented and amazing group with catchy songs. Still a huge fan and always will be. 80's STILL ROCKS ❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘
Hello, how are you today? It’s nice to meet you here.
The 80s when everything was smooth and cool.
mugensamurai yeap those were the time great 🎶 music
Best decade ever for soulful music..
Not to downplay the other era's but the 80's was the bomb(best)
mugensamurai *almost everything
Its funny I listened to hundreds of hits from the 90s it seemed music went backwards during that decade, 80s rules
Dude on the sax is dripping swagger
He later became the sax player for the main band on Saturday Night Live...had a long ponytail.
Real swagger.
He should form a band with the McTonight moon guy
@@normieville594 Cause McDonalds....is Mac Tonight😭😂😂😂
JCB whaaat, that was Him!!!
The intro alone……..c’mon📻📻
I don't think Hall & Oates has a single bad song. They're all great.
Man, I forgot how smooth,stylish and soulful these guys were.Shit was so tight and on time.
Yeah, man, I don’t know much about these guys, and this is the only song I’ve heard of them so far as I just discovered them, but it seems like they were really on point.
The intro is frigging unbelievable! Miss the 80s so much. I want a time machine.
paul sleeping me too
J
take your turn theres plenty of people wanting to do that
let me know when you find that time machine- 1985 here I come....
Mac Dre used it in "i want u myself"
A timeless classic that never gets old. 2024 and beyond...
I’ve seen them live a couple times. Unbelievable how many great songs they have produced for so many years now love Darryl’s voice.
Fun fact: This is the only song by Hall and Oates to hit the top of both the R&B and pop charts.
That is fun , did not know that..
Sara smile didnt make it? ...nice song as well
Hall & Oates always had a big following in the black/urban fanbase.
@@ginyagirl4788 yeah that was a banger for sure!!!...
Tfs...& Ceelo green redid it
That opening bass is cold AF
Michael Jackson took it for Billy Jean
0.5x speed
@@maggymusic Michael's Jackson's whole life was taken from stuff like Queen, Aerosmith and disco
Greatest example of brilliant songwriting and collaborative styles ever. Consecutive back to back non-stop hits!
Daryl's voice is as smooth as silk and was easy on the eyes. I was a teen in the 80s and had a crush on Daryl
I'm almost 70 and still have the crush!
I still do! ☺
COVID tried to get me and my family...but "I can't go for that"...💯...
🙌🏿
God Bless you and your family!! ❤️🙏❤️
Boom
No can do!
The government goons tried to get all of us, steal our civil liberties and use a small bug as an excuse. We stopped it by saying collectively "I won't go for that. No can do."
Hall & Oates was just no joke
arroyo5born 007 It’s pretty comical
what is comical ???? your mad you got no flavor ? no soul ??? arroyo5born 007 is absolutely right .. these dudes were great ..
Tyler Ballz Why you mad, guy? The 80s in general were comical, from the neon jumpsuits to the hairstyles, etc. Massive amounts of cocaine mixed with waning artistic sensibilities makes for comedy gold, which is exemplified perfectly by the 80s, of which H&O were a staple of the culture. I didn’t say anything about their musical abilities, only that by today’s standards it’s pretty damn cheesy. “No can do...” Bahahaha That’s amazingly corny and lame, and that’s the reality whether your perception aligns with it or not. I ain’t mad; why you mad?
Michael Hurwitz lol why am I mad? Bro let me explain this to you as thorough as possible I’m definitely not mad and I didn’t look at it in that perspective when you explain the color jumpsuits and all that shit I guess I can agree with you I was born in 1991 though so I don’t really know much about the 80s but one thing I know is hall and oates Hey still banging at barbecues all across America and cookouts
Tyler Ballz Ha! All good. I was born in ‘81-the early 90s held some of that neon swag. Hey, I love H&O, but I also recognize that aside from the fantastic musicianship, the cheese is thick for sure at times. Peace
1984-2024 Daryl Music Hall Of Fame...
Cheers!
i heard this note from simply RED now i know music was pure back in the 70s,80s still relevant in 2024
I did sound for John Oats Solo tour in 2003 and John is genuinely one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
I had always heard they were really cool guys 👍
Jack Dempsey That’s Awesome!!!
Also Daryl - he's just a really nice guy. ❤️
Omg I love that I would have loved to have met him
Patricia Pavageau Know what you mean...He's still alive - there's still hope ! :)
These dudes made hit after hit
Yeah, they really did starting hitting it big beginning with several hits from their Voices Album and it was one hit single after another consecutively through 4 albums for 5 straight years. Their momentum was finally stalled after their Big Bam Boom album when they took a break.
Digital Dreams (SR2) Exactly!....The 80s Hit Kings!!!!!!😎
No really
OMG ‼️‼️. Let them take everything away from me but NEVER take KZhead away from me, The Time Machine ❤️. Here I am happy. I will forever love the best musical decade, the 80s🎶❤️
You said it, 80s rule!
When music was music
1,501 people went for it and they regretted it.
Epic failed attempt at a top comment. Haha (even though I follow the logic)
I'll consider this a bittersweet moment in my previous history of youtube commentary lol.
+Escobar Salvador I thought it was pretty solid, lol.
Dude, you shot you scored.
LOL!!
Still sounds fresh today 5/22/17!
I can't do for that
I can't go for that
M8 it still sounds fresh in 2p18
Hall vs Oates I can’t go for that 😢
Even the pop musicians were talented in the 80’s.
I'm a Philly girl ..and I Love my Hall &Oats♥️
And I am from A.C.... I love Hall & Oats! #Eaglesnation

This is one of the greatest comments on the internet hahahaha
So do Bobby Caldwell for me
They won’t go for that!
Hopefully you know the difference between a drum stick and a blow job.
Whos mesmerized by that funky bass line?

I truly hope they bury the hatchet and go back on tour! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Someone in 2021listening this song??
Brings back so many memories, love it
You know it
Yess!
Yes! Very inspired rn
Ofcourse, why wouldn't anybody
My sister who died in 2010 loved this song every time I hear it or think about this song I can see and hear my sister saying I can't go for that no can do. Thanks for posting it sounds GREAT!!.

What a heart warming thoughts. Thank you for shearing your intimate feelings. Your sister is awesome. As you.
Love this song!!! 2024 💃🏽🕺🏽
The master of his generation, never will be replaced. Many have tried. Few have succeeded. Like his sings, not everybody can be on top.
I’m creating a playlist for my dads funeral, Hall and Oates were one of his favorite bands.. No crying damnit just gonna jam to all his favorite songs
RIP and my dad put me on to 80s bassicly white music ima call it😂😂🤣
Your dad had great taste. Sorry for your loss.
My daughter is doing the same for me. Since she told me, on occasion I add to her list.
Yeah! Dad is a Rockstar
RIP
Timeless classic of the 80s made with a classic synth.
RetroSound what synth?
The Class of 1985 prophet 5
RetroSound bonita rola
I wasn't even born yet when this song came out :)) love 80s music grew up with it.
I'd be honored if some Hall & Oates fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and HEART TO HEART by Kenny Loggins & Michael McDonald on my channel in tribute to the masters of late 70s/early 80s groove. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
These guys are some of the greatest of all time! ❤
There are not enough words to express the beauty and hypnotic beat of this timeless piece of music.
You know when an 80s video starts with Finger Snaps. Shits going down
Haha! Kev Dun. Finger snap=shits about to get real . That made me lol
Haha best comment on here
@@oCinnamonGlaze YESS!!
Bahahahahajja
Director: Can you stand awkwardly in the background for the entire song until it is your time to play that sax? Random guy: I got you fam.

New music is better
I gotta agreed

@@Mancodelapesquera ¡Sé saludable mi amigo!
another masterpiece
Happy birthday John
The funny thing is this is about them saying 'no' to a record label's contract. This isn't a relationship song, it's about not selling out.
Lol, that's crazy because I always thought it was about something other than a romantic relationship. I always loved it, but didn't consider it about a relationship.
Word? Interesting..🤔
Sweet thanks for the info. I never thought it was about a love affair
False. According to Daryl, who wrote it, this is his "Anti-Road" song, written when they were out touring literally non-stop from 1980 through 1985. No Can Do was their anti-establishment song.
Wow didn't know that and have been a fan and listening since it came out
this is considered one of the funkiest beats in the hip hop world
pretty sure i've heard MF DOOM sample the drum pattern
ovechkin8able correct. Doom sampled the drums for his special herbs collection
@@auggysimcity name of song
True shit cuz. Another fun fact: Drug dealers coast to coast.... Fucking love this song
Thirtynine Plusone can’t recall atm. Though check dooms special herbs instrumentals
I guess Daryl Hall is gonna tell John Oates he can’t go for that in court.
I can't believe their professional 55 year partnerships is now over over song rights. You figure that they would have sorted them out in their contracts when they began their music careers together
