Hall and Oates - I Can't Go For That

[beeroosterm]

I cannot believe how seriously Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson ripped off the intro for "Billie Jean" from this song. Anybody else hear the resemblance?

[kahlilhanafi]

@beeroosterm youre very stupid

[ReignReviews]

I found this because of childish gambino

[Challengestheworld]

Love the beat and music from back in the day. Now I am old enough to listen to the words. I hope they one day learn that yielding the body plays a major part in yielding the soul.

[minnesotafan117]

anyone know the chords of the fender piano during the song

[Fellasfoo]

badass jam

[fahimbh]

sax solo at 2:10....legendary

[Sherayx]

Just can't go for that. no can do...Much luv Hall and Oates, nice!

[angelica3137]

lol soooooo smooth its tight that beat has been copied more then once nice to listen to that old school trip ahhhhhhhha...

[hawksfan3]

classic

[beatmasta77]

awsome!!!

[Yapostadodat]

The "space" in the sound of keys in many of 80's tunes is like none other. Everything in this song has a rich polished sound, especially the echo effect on Daryl's voice, and the keys and it's 808 effects are incredible.

[VFifth12]

Thumbs up if you came from OMG-facts.

[jdugena]

@VFifth12 thumbs up.

[TheBakDiana]

The bass line was used for

Billie Jean,the late MJ admitted it..but still a great song..

[1123Gregory]

will always be one of my favorites,,great post thanks,,love saves the day

[Rhythmcat3]

This song has such great forward momentum. Love the layering beats in the beginning.

[MrMonk420]

The avalanches sampled this in their song called I can't go for that

[ckyde5]

I love these guys. Brings back a lot of good memories.

[sworder24]

First, I heard King Geedorah - The Final Hour... and then I heard Mac Dre - 4 Myself.

Then I came here. Greatness.

[diamondkal]

I can't go for ur lies,ur lack of communication,ur sneakiness,ur deviant behaviour,ur lack of getting the right help for ur addictions,ur refusal to discuss it,ur being in denial,ur not living in reality,ur catering and living off ur mom at age 50,time to grow up George as life passes you by.U don't want help and u want everything on ur terms.I honestly tried my best and u didn't appreciate anything.U never even tried for me .U actually cheated urself.Ty from the bottom of my <3..DENIAL,get help

[1123Gregory]

[asilenaj61]

@MrThisworldismines They ARE NOT fags!! Why don't post this comment on Justin Bieber's videos so you'll be right!!

[sporterjackson99]

My group right here....until Thriller dropped. lol

[dakjargen]

Some people just don't get it. I think it's an inferiority complex brought on by the power of Oat's stache. It's alright. Give it 10 years, and you're gold. As a PS to my last post, I refuse to wear bell bottom slacks though.

[HollyHCH]

In my opinion, no one should give a fuck about your age. Stop thinking you're so damn special and listen to the music.

[dakjargen]

Oh hell yeah… I dedicate this song to the people of my past, and the people they know. You’ve been wiped off the slate. You are history. I don’t drink, but this song makes me want to dim the lights, sit on the couch, in a room that looks like the Three's Company living room, with a pretty woman, and have a drink.

[magnetik297]

MF DOOM !!!!!!

[rompn4x]

[Beatlelove100]

Thumbs up if your 7-20 years old and love this song!

[freestylexgp]

@Beatlelove100 What if you just turned 21? Also because I'm now 21 can I still thumbs up or no?

[Beatlelove100]

@freestyle Sure. Happy 21st.

[freestylexgp]

@Beatlelove100 Okay I liked the comment, it sucks being out of the age range by 1 year..

[TheGreatTamara]

@Beatlelove100 Hurray! We're the coolest people in our age bracket!

[vampireweekend4eva12]

Grew up listening to this song in my dad's car on the radio. I've been looking for the artist of this song for months! I've known of Hall and Oates for years but didn't think this sounded anything like them. Never thought I'd say this- but thank God for Glee mash-ups. XD

[Beatlelove100]

This song is EPIC! My new fav song!

[naynay633]

I'm gonna get this CD. It's wonderful. No matter how old it is.

[qbanmanny3]

[grizzlyfan41]

The best-selling Duo of all time, and here's why.......

Simply Red did just as good....

[00DayMan00]

"annnd, that's why I can't go for that!"

[W00lyBully]

@l3054 cool, i wish my gym played smooth music like this. we have to listen to rihanna and other such rubbish!

[l3054]

@W00lyBully its an mma gym and the wrestling coach likes 80s music

[W00lyBully]

@l3054 haha i do mma too, we dont even play music... but the thought of them playing this kinda music is just coool as fuck. maybe if the wrestling coach here was playing hall and oats they might make fun of him... ha ha

[l3054]

@W00lyBully its a pretty cool place pablo garza trains here but everybodys really cool i show up high to roll all the time

[stuZeppelin34]

I saw them at the PNE! they were amazing!

[psychochun]

@stuZeppelin34 you from Vancouver zeppeline? Too bad I missed their show at PNE. I should have been there.

[stuZeppelin34]

@psychochun I cried when I found out I couldn't go see them...

[psychochun]

@stuZeppelin34 Holy shit ! No kidding....you are truly a fan of Hall & Oates. You know the bands I really look forward to see in town is kraftwerk, and the musician David Sylvian, but they never came to North America.

[LiLBeAsT210]

I Guess I Cant Go For That Either...

[TaylorCake]

Hall and Oates, the greatest music duo of all time

[MultiKenyata]

You caint fuck wit Hall and oats. Love this songs :)

[smiliebre]

I dont really like too much old music,

but this one is the Jam! :D

[skintrade]

Not a bad album but I always thought it was patchy in places

[snakestaG13]

These guys wrote a bunch of great songs but the radio always play that Maneater and kiss is on my list crap why can't ever play these type of Hall and Oats songs like this Sara Smile and 1 on 1

[heavlow61]

[pink0shrader]

classic soul n soft rock shitt here! lol

[suziQyooot]

this song is the "sh@t"

[suziQyooot]

Hall & Oats are at the PNE this weekend....

[ernhutch187]

Hall and Oates made a lot of good songs in a lot of different styles.

[RossandGP]

This came out in 1981... Billie Jean in 1982. It's rumoured Jackson confided to Hall that he lifted the bass line, but I wasn't there (Tuesdays are my bowling night) so I can't confirm :)

[deadmansgulf]

@RossandGP Thats the greatest YouTube comment I have ever heard. BRAVO!!!

[kperk014]

Dirty dancing music to be sure.

[RichRumour]

This song needs to have more views like ASAP

[Marilyn2447]

this is the song from which Michael Jackson copped the bass line for Billie jean...Amazing no?

[98bigbutt]

@Marilyn2447,Really? I didn't know that!!

[DoublePrimo44004]

@Marilyn2447 No, It's not the same bass line.

[jgk381]

@Marilyn2447 sorry but i cant go for that! :-) its other way around i think. H&O made this inspired by billie jean, which came out first.

[TheSHANNLIN]

I can go for this, lol

[higgieme2]

What! I told you I know your jams.

[NenaRitaful]

Oh yeah... they got steeeeze.

[XxXxPatManxXxX]

[98bigbutt]

Isn't that Bababooey of the Howard Stern show?

[shelly10538]

I cannot believe how many Mighty Boosh fans there are! Long live Hall and Oates and long live The Mighty Boosh. It gives me faith in humanity to see that there are this many Boosh fans, it's kinda like ELO fans, you'll never meet one you won't like.

[silverifle]

I remember riding passenger in the car and this song would play and i would be so happy. Kinda sad that its not played much today on da radio...

[KillerToyMachine]

@silverifle listen to smooth jazz stations, they usually play it a couple of times

[xokilluhkate]

The Mighty Boosh-Bob Fossil !!

[africkinamerican]

How is this a remix? This is the same as the radio/Rock n Soul edit.

[jephybean]

For some odd reason, whenever I hear the musical bridge in this song, it makes me want to watch the original Fright Night movie. It must've been around the same time as that came out a memory attached to it or something, but it is such a weird trigger, I had to share, :-)

[Keineshuste]

I second that, i rubbed my three nipples through it.

[calidime30]

stuvo1977..... Lol!!!! Thanks Ineeded a goodlaugh

[joeskeltonbro]

plan b used this chorus on his track 'mama', when plan b was a good musician

[stuvo1977]

My cat loves this song. He bounces around like a fat woman chasing a Reese`s peanut butter cup, when it come on.

[MsAmericangirl92]

one of the few songs ever recorded by a white act to reach Number One on both the R&B and the pop charts.!!!!!!!

[CarmelloZolanski]

I love dis song

[newyorktown]

Simply Red used the music in the song Sunrise.

Just listen to that version and you hear also some lyrics back in that song.

[john17972]

I was just listening to Steel Panthers "big boobs".
