Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” might just be the pinnacle of sultry industrial rock. Likewise, “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” by Daryl Hall and John Oates could be the zenith of what is often called yacht rock.

So what happens when you combine the two?

You get expert mashup maker Bill McClintock’s latest musical concoction, “I Can’t Get Closer for That”, which features the voice of Trent Reznor from the 1994 The downward spiral hit in the backing track and hook from Hall & Oates’ 1981 Private eyes smash. It’s awesome.

Hear it down to the bottom of this post.

Those who want to hear the uncensored version of the mashup – which for some reason also contains a sample of Iron Maiden’s “Flight of Icarus” as an Easter Egg – can head to McClintock’s Patreon, where he promises that unchanged cut has “f- bomb is included.”

In previous McClintock mashups, Slipknot collided with the Spice Girls, Metallica jellies with Huey Lewis, Motorhead meets James Brown, Pantera converges with Bill Withers, and Danzig makes disco.

But let’s not assume that the creator lacks discretion when it comes to the music he combines. According to his video description, the NIN and Hall & Oates mashup was almost a bridge too far.

“I decided to finish this one against my better judgment,” said McClintock.

Another creator has already mixed “I Can’t Go for That” with Metallica.
