Hall and Oates - I Can't Go For That - Cover by Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers - Van Session 17 (Performed between Phoenix, AZ and Pioneertown, CA).
About the "Van Sessions": Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers are a rock/country/soul band from San Francisco with a busy touring schedule. Between gigs they pass the time by playing cover songs in their van, recording them with an iPhone and posting them online for fun. They do, indeed, wear their seatbelts. For more about the band's original music check out nickibluhm.com, iTunes, or any KZbin video not set in a van, or just come to a show the next time they drive to your town!

2024 and still listening!!

[@deceio]

I can't go for that 💃🕺💃🕺

[@alonpalmer]

I believe I left a comment about 12 years ago about how much I loved this. I love this just as much today in 2024 as I did 12 years ago.

[@psychodogstudios]

Same

[@jimheron161]

Same

[@arne.schroeder]

KZbin should invent some kind of double thumps up in case you already gave a video a thumps up and return on a daily basis to watch it again...

[@kyleknight1846]

Well I guess I'm all thumbs...

[@mike.hidalgo]

No auto tune, no studio shenanigans, no fakeness anywhere - just some badass musicians traveling to the next gig. Dope AF.

[@watersidealarm130]

same as the origonal

[@SC-gp7kt]

Authentic talent and creativity. The way it should be!

[@MysticalHydra]

It hasn't quite succeeded, but autotune has inadvertently tried to kill music. I'd hate it anyway, but it's mission is transparent.

[@jamielesher5359]

She kicks my heart in the ass.

[@mjoleksy]

Mike Hidalgo you said it. As simple, dope as anything needs to be.

[@MF_DREADSUN]

This the first sound I ever heard from them. I stuck around for more. Still listening 9 years later.

[@jenniferlaneschannel6176]

Me too!! This song never gets old for me.

[@VampyreLord666]

Nice profile picture, MF DOOM is the shit. All caps when you spell the man name!

[@MF_DREADSUN]

@@VampyreLord666 Big respect.

[@billyelliot78]

My first was “you’re no good” still so good.

[@kevinkemble3718]

Just found this artist today. Sometnig special about this person undoubtedly.

[@soypablo64]

8 years later and this is still the best cover of this song!

[@Norp-i7m]

Agreed.

[@dancrisafulli7768]

I really think their cover is better than the original. Just wish I liked their own originals. They'd be the best Hall & Oates cover band ever though.

[@CourtneyZyber]

As am I.....🫣🤣

[@jjeongx]

Love when the background singers come in like “haiiiiii” 👍

[@markindy862]

I’m back in 2024 😂. Still loving these videos.

[@WeAreN1nja]

Those kazoo solos made my week.

[@Shitbird122]

same here

[@betsiamites1]

+WeAreN1nja When they used to post the comments as they were made, I kept count (sic) - and. of all the aspect of the video, the kazoo had received the most positive comments (upwards of 200 as of a little more than a year ago).

[@betsiamites1]

+Robin Hill (that should read "of all of the aspects")

[@ROFLance]

+Robin Hill I just watched this for the first time and the one thing that stuck out the most to me, besides her great voice was the fact that I've never heard a kazoo sound like a sax before.. amazing.

[@tamarahhill1670]

+Lance What stood out the most to me was the harmonies - when Tim and Dave chimed in with the harmonies, I thought heaven would be being a hitchhiker and getting picked up by these peop[e. The kazoo just put it way over the top - but again, there are more positive comments about the kazoo than about anything else.

[@ana.martins_op]

2020 quarantine's feel good song!

[@kennethsilas6501]

#classic

[@oscarramirez2697]

This song always puts me in a good mood

[@dbk81]

Seen this 10 years ago, pleased to see it on my recommended again. Absolutely the best version of this song ever. Done in a van on the interstate. Boss move.

[@CaptainDopamine]

Whenever I hear this song I think of this video. Perfect cover.

[@dques]

I think that goes for all of us in the comments… Epic.

[@annelancaster8203]

Same!

[@OfficiallyUnofficialAlCooper]

Best use of a kazoo ever, and your instruments and voices merging are pure sonic perfection. Thank you.

[@weenfain2321]

Back 10 years later still the best cover EVER

[@PeterAlanA1234567890]

Don't know how I found you, except I'm completely addicted!

[@1979WURST]

I've been coming back to this multiple times a month for the last decade. Love it.

[@MrWindellT]

It was at a 9.5 but the kazoo solo easily bumped it up to a perfect 10 car performance!

[@leucifer2]

9 years later this remains the best cover song of all time

[@jeffreylamar1099]

Big boy on the tiny keys!!!! He's awesome!!

[@mikesweeney5619]

her voice was just too perfect for this song.and the guys doing backing vocals did a hell of a job,too !!!

[@globalcat]

Love how this has the attention of Daryl and John. Well deserved.

[@bbsb300]

So deliciously perfect. The female vocalist was so so fantastic at this great song. Real entertainment ;)

[@becksdollface]

a favorite of these van sessions

[@legendaryTMNICO]

She sings better than hall and Oates. Hall and Oates can’t belt out the high notes when they perform that song live.

[@ChrisReese-uh9rp]

So addicting, literally cannot get any better than this! watch it weekly at least once for last few months. Let's go Nicki and the awesome Gramblers!

[@felipenano]

10 years later I am here every time.

[@ratso69ful]

Driving in a van, belting out cover tunes with a tight band, sounding incredible, = PRICELESS!!

[@Prentice6756]

I love surprises! This was definitely an unexpected treat. We'll done!

[@danielwe77]

This song lives rent free in my head and that’s ok.

[@notsuretwo]

No giant speakers, no mega-watt amplifier, no cables, no mixers, no slick talking music industry guys, no agent, no stage lights. That's not fair......but it sounds soooooo good.

[@classyfacemakeup]

Here in 2018!! THIS IS STILL AMAZING!

[@stopitwithusernames]

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would downvote this?

[@pattimherbst]

I KNOW!!! I have to play it every so often!!

[@lbreaux1961]

2019 and still great

[@mjoleksy]

Forever, best part about it.

[@TheJhtlag]

2020 and still great

[@1Molehill]

The miles must fly passed in your van, when your having this much fun

[@jdogy2002]

Best cover of all time. It isn’t even close.

[@menow.]

That's one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

[@TheRockmaniac99]

I love you Nicki...this is how REAL musicians rehearse for a gig

[@ItsGr82BUnique39]

I can’t get enough of this rendition. So amazing… and while driving!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@biffskin]

...and two and half years later im back to revisit.

[@shilohgreathous]

biffskin its almost that time again

[@mitchcameron6548]

Been about 5 and still click whenever it comes up on my feed.

[@craigweaver5671]

goose bumps every time i love this

[@Norp-i7m]

I love her voice so much.

[@jogon7914]

How can anybody possibly listen and watch this and dislike this? Have these people got ears? This is fantastic.

[@TimJameson-jg8sl]

Most insane kazoo solo I've ever heard in my life much respect😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@chaseholfelder]

Nailed it.

[@lordseph]

9 years later and this is still super fun to listen to.

[@blakewhittington4336]

look up their cover of Picture book by the Kinks

[@bobbailey5072]

Loved the Kazoo solos ❤️

[@kriddaz]

I've watched this video more in the last two years than, well... anything else. Ever. Seen all your stuff and always come back to hit this one again!

[@VictoriaSanchezM]

kriddaz 🕺

[@stolky19]

Me too!!!

[@gracevaleriano5818]

This one’s my favorite💕🤗

[@uapnewdiscoveryimages]

Stuck in a car with two of the cast from The Hangover singing "I can't go for that' by Hall and Oates....Surreal!

[@MundoPaiva]

Here in 2022, Amazing Forever. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@theundoug]

OMG....the kazoo just kicked in! LOL..... Nice touch! :-)

[@robinhill3704]

Tim and Dave's harmonies are what made me go OMG [the icing on the cake] - but the kazoo receives more favourable comments than anything else on the video (150+ [sic]).

[@dndstudio2641]

I still love this cover!!!!!! 2020

[@JohnnyLuckySeven]

Her smile said it all at the end, she knew that was money. Best one yet!

[@cncmover]

is that might be just the best acoustic rendition I've ever heard of my life awesome job guys

[@austntexan]

I find myself back here every other year or so lol. Still, so good.

[@Cotictimmy]

An absolute delight - one of those little KZbin gems.

[@carldry9443]

June of 2021. Had forgotten all about this cover. One of the songs that got me back playing guitar. Simply awesome.

[@rachaeleley9924]

Way to go boys hitting those high notes...impressive

[@abstract20]

I love this one and their Genesis cover!❤

[@OoOowitchinwaves999]

How can anyone dislike this... classic song done right!

[@yowie12]

Could not have been any better. A fantastic performance.

[@MrSlimbullfrog]

Yes!!! That was funkier than a touring van!

[@tulsabillh]

Absolutely sonically addictive song + voice.

[@sweeetly]

I can't believe you did that while driving, hahah super duper!

[@deathrays]

i come back to watch this every so often.

[@MagMenendez]

This will NEVER get old. Love it!

[@crunchers9]

Kazoo solo for the win!

[@pmharn]

Nicki, you're a star. I hope you're making your living this way.

[@jpellari]

This is just something else. I'm addicted to this thing!

[@theundoug]

This is SO freaking good!!!! It's a great song to begin with (the Hall and Oates version), but you definitely do it justice! I'm sitting here at my kitchen table, earbuds in, daughter doing homework across from me, and I'm bobbing back and forth, boppin' my head to the beat. Love it!

[@joebustos6413]

Yall really got the vibe tight.

[@stephenkennedy9431]

Stripped down, raw talent........totally love it!

[@tywhite1649]

her voice sounds like velvet feels

[@northhallbabe13]

In a car? This whole video is badass. Love love love.

[@wussytaco]

That kazoo solo was badass

[@holybigbang]

just because of the 'van sessions' i'd go see them if they tour nearby. i'd totally go for that

[@DankPanther]

all these years later and its still fireee

[@amybatcher7824]

Y'all should do a tribute video - coming up on 10 years and still an absolute classic 💯

[@SKONEYMANROB]

2020 STILL WATCHING ❤️ LOVE IT

[@wilfredoramirez728]

This got to be one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on you tube 💯🔥🔥🔥✌🏼

[@alexdmd]

Budget: $5 Result: Priceless

[@samlarson4098]

Alex really you think this all costed $5 only ???

[@SMBBM92]

Budget: years of experience from four very talented musicians, all their instruments, the van, and a camera. Yeah seems like $5.

[@midnightson33]

who would dislike this?? awesome cover!!

[@scattjax3908]

my guess? claustrophobics tortured in their youth by kazoos keeping them up at night

[@JustMe-um7sr]

How can anyone not love this

[@chriscovino9246]

I'm somewhat of a professional music consumer. And this cover is in my top 10 covers of all time. And it's just you guys in a stripped down way, in a damn car. I'm going down a youtube rabbit hole of songs that make me happy atm and when I saw this it was an inst-play for me. Well done.

Would you care to share the list of other songs you put in this category? Would be very interested in your perspective.
