80s Jams #09: Hall & Oates "I Can’t Go For That" (1981)

Though they continued their streak of excellent hit singles, Private Eyes was the culmination of the sound they'd been developing since Along the Red Ledge, and it stands as the pinnacle of their time as the biggest pop act in the U.S.A. Lots of subtle effects are layered on the voices, guitars, and pianos as they mingle with synthesized instruments, from the keyboard loops that give "Head Above Water" a restless momentum to the drum machine that lends "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" a sexy, seductive groove. -- Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:giftxqu5ldfe~T1
