When this came out I was dieing from stage 4 Breast Cancer..Now I'm celebrating 70th Birthday Season 2021. God Said Ni Can Do..Thanking Almighty God fir not just Salvation life Everlasting
I also just realized after 30+ years of listening to this song that the verse vocals were badly EQ'd and not de-essed, leading to distortion on some of the sibilance after it was passed through the compressor...
I kid you not, I’m listening to this on my echo and I said lemme look at this video cuz I haven’t seen it in a while, and I don’t know why it never came to me what the song was about but I never knew.
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.
It has been about 20 years since I heard this song and it popped up from a random comment and dropped me right back where I had been. Even helped me unearth the name of someone I'd been trying to remember. Amazing how our memories work.
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???
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
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.
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.
The quintessential 80s song. It was the greatest decade for music! Blue-Eyed Soul made sure they made their mark on it! Absolutely love Hall and Oates!🙌🏾💕💯
Daryl: Never forget your Brother John, Never! GOD says in his word, forgive and love each other because he created you and united you for this work of art for humanity forever. Great. God bless you. 🎼✨️
1985 . . . 18 years old . . . I bought a short suit jacket with big shoulder pads . . . pulled up the sleeves . . . dark black shades . . . I was so cool. For about 6 months. Hahaha. I miss those days.
Speaking about the meaning of the lyrics, John Oates has stated that while many listeners may assume the lyrics are about a relationship, in reality, the song, "is about the music business. That song is really about not being pushed around by big labels, managers, and agents and being told what to do, and being true to yourself creatively." This was done intentionally, he explained, to universalize the topic
One of the baddest white boy groups EVER!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Still rockin with them at my lovely age of 52 years old ❤❤❤❤❤ I thnak them for music that has expanded over decades.
Best decade of my whole life, and being a teenager throughout them was even more fun. I was also at an age where I could go to Nightclubs and dance away to their songs. A magical time of my life I wish never ended...
Jamming to this in August 2020 - I can’t go for that Covid-19, no can do! Praying for the healing of our world. Bring us together God, we need each other. Love heals all things. 😘❤️🙏🏾
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!!.
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
Blue-eyed soul! These were two of the baddest soulful/r&b singers in the 80's! All of their songs were great and here it's 2018 and they sound as good as they did in the 80's. 80's music was the absolute best ever, that was an era where everything was just cool and life felt great. I'm an 80's lady, always will be, I'll be 45 this year in December. These guys can sing to me anytime, and I always had a crush on Daryl Hall. =)
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.
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
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
I arrived to San Diego, CA , USA on Dec 15, 1984, this incredible music was the background of my life until today. My life in this country surpassed any dreams I had in Bs As, Argentina. Thank You to my brother that is in Heaven today, he instilled in me this dream !!!!
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.

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.
hell yes my favorite hall and oates song, man daryl hall what a voice he sounds like a black guy what a soul voice, guys dance with your lady to this one and enjoy the beat.80's at the best.
Hall and Oates are known as Blue Eyed Soul. They sent a demo to my Philly radio station in the the early 70's, and the host thought they were black, too. The shock they had when when two white guys walked into the studio!
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.
Love This Song. 2025 Has Already Started Off Tough For Our Small Family. 3 Deaths, Losing My Home Due To Poor Building Management And My Youngest Step Son Having Mental Health Issues. It's Alot And This Song Really Helps Me Deal With It All.
Man I just realized how many bangers Hall & Oates have after going on a bingelisten... Rich girl Private eyes Out of touch Maneater Sara smiles You make my dreams She’s gone I can’t go for that and so on
I am not a native speaker, but this is one of these lifetetime songs that I loved, before I even knew the lyrics. And - low and behold: the lyrics represent the story of my lifetime.
@@jj____2729 Much respect to Michael McDonald. From the Doobie Bros, going solo, to collaborations with Patti Labelle and James Ingram, he's earned a place in the Hall of Fame.

This entire song was a message to the music industry that they would never sell out. Love these guys.
I also just realized after 30+ years of listening to this song that the verse vocals were badly EQ'd and not de-essed, leading to distortion on some of the sibilance after it was passed through the compressor...
So very true that's why they mention you've got my body now you want my soul.
Exactly.The Music industry is very different from what the average person would expect to think.

Thirtynine Plusone can’t recall atm. Though check dooms special herbs instrumentals
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
hell yes my favorite hall and oates song, man daryl hall what a voice he sounds like a black guy what a soul voice, guys dance with your lady to this one and enjoy the beat.80's at the best.
Hall and Oates are known as Blue Eyed Soul. They sent a demo to my Philly radio station in the the early 70's, and the host thought they were black, too. The shock they had when when two white guys walked into the studio!

no way that sounds cool, ha ha i love the story thank you
Allyson Wargo That is funny!
That is so true...There is nothing like this today. Music that can reach your soul and a million memories come back to you. ♡

i know my friend thanks for your nice comment. :)
So whimsical yet soulful. Released nearly 45 years ago. Really tells you something about the longevity of good music. A wonderful contribution.
This song was a 80s party banger.
Yes it was!!!!
That intro is legendary.
Facts
Legends...
Michael Jackson thought so and borrowed for Billie Jean
No shit
U right
1:49 dudes playing the hell outta that sax/air guitar
I mean
He do be kinda vibin doe
Fond memories. Dynamic duo.
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..😂😂
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
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.
@@ginyagirl81 yeah that was a banger for sure!!!...
Tfs...& Ceelo green redid it
Love This Song. 2025 Has Already Started Off Tough For Our Small Family. 3 Deaths, Losing My Home Due To Poor Building Management And My Youngest Step Son Having Mental Health Issues. It's Alot And This Song Really Helps Me Deal With It All.
I hope things will get much better for your family...❤
Man I just realized how many bangers Hall & Oates have after going on a bingelisten...
Rich girl
Private eyes
Out of touch
Maneater
Sara smiles
You make my dreams
She’s gone
I can’t go for that and so on
One on One. Lol forgot that one.
@@mannyrodriguez3933 you got it!😉
Kiss On My List, Did It In A Minute
One on One, Method of Modern Love
I am not a native speaker, but this is one of these lifetetime songs that I loved, before I even knew the lyrics. And - low and behold: the lyrics represent the story of my lifetime.
Hall and Oates are timeless
I love how a music track can transport you back in time in a second 😍
September 2024 and still enjoying this song 😊
👋
December.
The fusion of rock and roll and R&B. “Blue-eyed soul” --- and no one did it better.
Micheal McDonald has entered the chat.
@@jj____2729 Much respect to Michael McDonald. From the Doobie Bros, going solo, to collaborations with Patti Labelle and James Ingram, he's earned a place in the Hall of Fame.
Don't forget Bowie. He did a phenomenal job blending soul and funk with different styles of rock.
Steely Dan.

Still here never left2025❤
For real a bad ass song.
As hard a I try. I can never pick just one Hall & Oates song as my favorite. They are just Iconic and Bad*ss!! Glad I grew up during the 80s.
Bambi Eggleton ur white

Thaaank you! I was like "I've heard this.. but from what song?"
Answer is always in the comments
John Oates has the most hypnotizing mustache and mullet combo I’ve ever seen
LMAO!
I had an uncle who looked very similar to J.O...
I can’t take the ‘stache ... it’s just 70s porn to me 😂😂😂😂 damn the Village People they ruined ‘staches for me forever
Am I not merciful ? That’s why it’s hot 😂
He _better_ be nice, he got filthy-stinking rich, off us buying all those records and tapes. ; )
💜 De La Soul brought me here decades ago. Thankful cos Hall & Oats are greatness
2019- these dudes spoke to the powers that be in the smoothest way known to man. #icantgo4that
