I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) on VH1's list of "The 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s." According to Daryl Hall, during the recording of "We Are the World", Michael Jackson approached him and admitted to lifting the bass line for "Billie Jean" from a Hall & Oates song, apparently referring to "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)." Hall says that he told Jackson that he had lifted the bass line from another song himself, and that it was "something we all do." Van Halen would also do something similar by lifting the synthesizer used in "Kiss On My List" for their hit "Jump".
