n 2014, Coaches Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams, and Adam Levine got together on The Voice for a sultry rendition of Stefani’s “No Doubt” hit “Hella Good.” And it was, well, hella good.
The performance started out with a thumping bass while Levine played some staccato guitar riffs. Stefani handled the first lyrics, then Williams took over, both singing and playing the drums at the same time. Levine later joined in by crooning in his signature tenor, followed by Shelton, who shook up things up with his country twang.
For the chorus, all four Coaches sang simultaneously while swaying to the track’s funky groove. To wrap the performance, Stefani got the crowd going and hit some enthusiastic high notes. Rock on, indeed.
Watch the performance here.

“Hella Good” by No Doubt lyrics
The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps on coming like a thunder bolt
Well, come here a little closer
‘Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up
(Get over here, get over here)
You got me feelin’ hella good
So let’s just keep on dancin’
You hold me like you should
So I’m gonna keep on dancin’ (keep on dancin’)
The performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it’d be the two of us
(I don’t know, I didn’t think it was ever gonna happen)
So don’t wake me if I’m dreamin’
‘Cause I’m in the mood, come on and give it up
You got me feelin’ hella good
So let’s just keep on dancin’
You hold me like you should
So I’m gonna keep on dancin’ (keep on dancin’)
You got me feelin’ hella good
So let’s just keep on dancin’
You hold me like you should
So I’m gonna keep on dancin’ (keep on dancin’)

You got me feelin’ hella good
So let’s just keep on dancin’
You hold me like you should
So I’m gonna keep on dancin’ (keep on dancin’)
Keep on dancin’
Keep on dancin’
