About This Song
About "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" by Daryl Hall
Hall & Oates at their slickest, 'I Can't Go For That' is a masterclass in blue-eyed soul restraint. The groove is a velvet trapβsmooth bass, clipped guitar, and Hall's cool, dismissive vocal. It's the sound of a man politely but firmly closing a door, all while the rhythm section refuses to let you leave.
