I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) (live From Daryl's House) - Daryl Hall & Cee Lo Green - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Daryl Hall’s live version of “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do),” performed in his web series Live from Daryl’s House, gives a classic hit fresh life through stripped-back arrangements and featured guests. Originally co-written with John Oates and Sara Allen, the song was first released in 1981 and became a chart-topping hit on the Billboard Hot 100. On the show, Daryl Hall reimagines “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” with artists like Chromeo, CeeLo Green, and The O’Jays, each version bringing a different flavor to the familiar groove. These live takes dial back the synth-heavy production of the original in favor of tight live instrumentation and vocal interplay. While the Live from Daryl’s House recordings haven’t charted, they’ve built a strong online following and introduced the song to younger audiences. It proves Daryl Hall’s songwriting still connects—and that some tracks just don’t age.
