The story behind

I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) sounds like that kind of song that grabs you from the first chord and never lets go. It’s not just the sticky groove or Daryl Hall’s voice floating over the synthesizers, but how all of it comes together to tell a wordless story: that of a guy who won’t give in to what doesn’t suit him, even if it sounds good. The opening riff, that bass that kicks in like a train but with swing, is pure modern soul with a touch of rock that had been around before. The most curious thing is that, even though the song feels like a nearly five-minute journey, every section flows effortlessly, as if time stretched just so you wouldn’t miss a single detail.
