    Default recent song. Help Please

    It's a remake of Hall and Oats song I Can't Go For That. It's fairly recent and sais something like, "But I don't mi-i-ind at all, is this forever. Sorry I don't know more and it's kinda hard to hear what they're saying. Any help would be great. Thanks

    Kansascali had a "rap" cover of that song in 2005.

    It wasn't a rap. It kinda has the same beat as Hall and Oats. Thanks for the try though.

    The following link will let you listen to 30 second samples of the song. You only want the ones that list Hall, Oates and/or Sara Allen, S. Allen or Susan Allen (Hall's girlfriend) as the composers:

    I got the following information about the song from Wikipedia:

    While much of the duo's reputation is due to its sustained pop-chart run in the 1980s, Hall and Oates are also respected for their ability to cross style boundaries. To this day, "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" is one of the most-sampled songs by R&B and hip-hop groups over the last twenty-five years, being referenced by acts from Heavy D & the Boyz to Tamia to 2 Live Crew.

    De La Soul sampled "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" for the track "Say No Go," from their 1988 debut album Three Feet High and Rising, the title of which is one of Hall's vocal hooks from the hit song. Hall and Oates liked it so much that they replicated the De La Soul arrangement in their live 1990 performance at the U.S. Earth Day twentieth anniversary concert in New York's Central Park.

    "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" is also heavily sampled in the 2003 hit "Sunrise" by the UK soul act Simply Red. The song also includes original lyrics from "I Can't Go for That(No Can Do)" placed at the chorus and sung by a female singer.

    Rapper Plan B uses the chorus of I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) in his song Mama (Loves A Crackhead).

    The song was sampled in a one time collaboration performance by John Mayer and Just Blaze called Alife.

    Thank you very much. The song was Sunrise by Simply Red. (I would've never guessed that one.) I love this website!
