I just want to say that it is a thrill to see younger people enjoying the music that I grew up listening to. I was in my teens when this song was a hit, and I've now reached retirement age and I'm enjoying remembering the truly good times I had back then with this kind of music to listen to. I didn't know it was good times back then, because I was 15 years old, and you know how difficult being that age could be. Thank you for what you do and keep on doing it!
You've been reported
@@williamgreco3046 ? More Russian/Chinese bots trying to get our info?
Loved Steely Dan, and Emerson Lake and Palmer. Such a depth into all of their music
They are listening to it because today's music is rubbish.
And you *Can't Buy A Thrill!!!!* 😁
"You have sent the maid home early..." is the most yacht-rock line ever.
Stuff it in yer britches.
If you’re a Steely Dan fan like me you probably can’t think of a bad song from them.
Absolutely. 👍
True.
I totally agree I love them and I saw them in concert and it was great and the funny part is I just heard this song yesterday and thought loud be great if they played this and then it was on tonight please play some pretzel logic
I'm pretty you're a bot at this point
Not one bad song in their entire catalog!
Jay & Amber, you'll LOVE their "Aja", "Deacon Blues" and "Josie"!!!!!
And Peg
I always enjoyed "Time out of Mind"
Yes Deacon Blue is a great song .
sur - Oh YA !! Steely Dan is SO good stuff !! Thanks J & A !!
They just need to do a stream listening to the whole album of Aja!
I grew up in the 70s and Steely Dan was one of my favorite bands. They have so many good songs that you could do 3 a day for a week and not have a bad song. You have Peg, Hey Nineteen, Aja, Deacon Blues, Do it Again, Josie, Reeling in The Years, Ricky Don’t loose That Number and so many more. I think Donald Fagen is a musical genius and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter was one of the greatest guitarist of all time.
They've done "Do It Again". They'd have to do "Do It Again" again.
Seriously though, I agree with your choices 100%. I also added Bodhisattva in a different comment.
I'd love them to react to "Hey Nineteen" next, if only for the Aretha Franklin reference, now that they know her a little bit.
Donald Fagens 1st solo album "The Nightfly" is a gem, not one bad cut. That said, "Green Flower Street" and "New Frontier" are my currant favs.
This band is perfection. Never a mistake. You will hear elements of rock, blues and jazz in their song. Lots of brass. I love that! And great lyrics.
Try “My Old School”. Steely Dan is another iconic group from the 70s
They've already done it. They just forgot.
"Riki Don't Lose That Number" is my favorite Steely Dan song, I know you'll love it. 🤔🥴✌️👍
"Don't take me alive" - has one of the tastiest guitar intros - Larry Carlton's influence is all over that era of Steely Dan,
No one has a bigger catalog then Steely Dan
In case you haven't heard them yet, I think "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" and "Peg" were possibly their biggest hits -- and easily two of their greatest songs. Steely Dan has so many great tunes it's unfair really. And like with this one, while their music dazzles you their lyrics make you do a double take.
Just an FYI:
Riki was one of Fagans college proffesor's pregnat wife that he had the hots for. He sliped her his phone # at a party and she never called him. So he wrote her a song.
Growing up in the 70's the music was the best
Do it Again has to be one of their most recognizable songs too.
@@danthomas3808 He was ready to do that "Dirty Work".... lol
@@richstrobel For sure but looks like they heard it already, along with "Reelin in the Years" and "My Old School"
You can’t go wrong with ANY Steely Dan song. Walter & Donald were the ultimate musical geeks!
SD is 🔥. So many more classics for you to dive into: Peg, Time Out of Mind, Josie, Kid Charlemagne, Aja, Black Cow, Deacon Blues, FM (No Static At All) and too many more to list. You could do one SD a week and go for months.
"Bodhisattva" is a classic song of theirs that remains incredibly unique nearly 50 years later. "Peg" was a big hit in 1978. They also did instrumental rendition of Duke Ellington's "East St. Louis Toodle-oo"
listen to "Bodhisattva" live! czcams.com/video/gxOG-kgfvs8/video.html
" If it's good to ya, it's gotta be good for ya!"
I really like this song, but my favorite era of Steely Dan is the late 1970s. I highly recommend checking out “Kid Charlemagne”. It has one of the best guitar solos ever done on record and has a funky jazz vibe.
Steely Dan’s album “Aja” is classic. And I used to not be a fan of their music years ago. I thought it was pretentious crap, but oh how I was wrong. So wrong. Give “Aja” a listen. The title track is amazing.
Dang right it is!
An amazing solo it is by the great Larry Carlton.
Let's hear it for Kid Charlemagne!
Aja marked a change in their sound, as Donald Fagen decided to write and produce the sort of sophisticated music he'd always wanted to but wasn't willing to risk in their earlier career. The intro to Josie is a remarkable chord progression that just shouldn't work but does, exceptionally so... and then the bass comes in, kicking it into life.
Did u mix the diamond with the pearl??
Steely Dan is among the gods of Rock n' Roll and definitely one of my all-time favorite Rock/Jazz/R & B bands!!! I request that you react to "Black Cow."
That’s got my vote as well!
Steely Dan's catalog is HUGE - and every single cut is a rocker! In their early period, "Brooklyn" is a rare, subtle, mellow track that is a charmer.
Brooklyn is my most favorite of Steely Dan! 💯 the lyrics are so good!
Very underrated. Great piano background.
You haven't even scratched the surface of Steely Dan. It gets better and better the deeper you go.
This is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time.
Love Steely Dan! Please do Peg next. It slaps!
Yes! The guitar solo!
Steely Dan is so good! So many great songs/hits. Black Cow is one of my favs!
Steely Dan is known for their intricate and meaningful lyrics. Like this song with the verse, "Like the castle in its corner in a medieval game". Here, they are talking about the game of Chess. If yall know anything about Chess, there is a Chess piece called a Castle or a Rook. And the Rook or Castle always starts the game in the corners of the board and has only two types of moves, vertically or horizontally. They are comparing the man in the song to this chess piece, in which he feels cornered and only has limited moves available to him. Just brilliant! And the next line: "I foresee terrible trouble, And I stay here just the same". Is just as lucent in its meaning and you can feel his pain and confliction. Just brilliant again!
I get the feeling the lady is setting a pick with this hapless guy and he can sense the coming jolt of trouble.
The thing about Steely Dan is that the more you listen to them, the more you hear! Unbelievably perfect music!
Between 1972 and 1980, Steely Dan released seven perfectly-produced albums. Though some are better than others, there's not one bad song. Never off-key, not one missed note. These guys were perfectionists.
Crazy you've only done 3 Dan songs. Most reactors fall far into the rabbit hole, so deep, so good
"Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan--one of their biggest hits, and a sublime song.
Funny thing about Steely Dan is that you can hear their songs without really paying attention and be all into the music and stuff, then when you start really listening to the lyrics, you'll often be like, "Hold up. _That's_ what this song is about?" 😂 This one's a lot more straightforward, though - a lot of their lyrics need a deep dive to figure out what they're really saying. Loved the look that Amber gave when she first realized what it was about, lol.
For the first 30 years, I didn't know just how perverted so many of their songs were, not to mention their name. LOL
Well, the band is named after a dildo....so it's not too surprising.
Steely Dan is not a 'he', it's a 'they'. Steely Dan is primarily two dudes, the two core members were Walter Becker and Donald Fagan. This song was with their first singer, later, Donald took over the vocals. I've always liked this track. There's so many good Dan songs I would have to list 40 songs or more, they're just that good. My favorite album from them is Aja(pronounced Asia), and the title track Aja is probably my favorite track by the Dan. They started out with a core band and moved on to using various studio musicians. They would use a lot of them, and swamp them out depending on who they thought would contribute the most to whatever particular track they were recording. They were perfectionist in the studio, and spent a lot of money and time to capture the best performance of a song, no matter what. Steely Dan, named after a prosthetic phallus in William S. Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch.
They nearly stood alone when it came to the "type" of music they wrote and performed - I especially like their rendition of the Duke Ellington classic "East St. Louis Toodle Ooo. Can't Buy a Thrill was a great album.
I got a job at a radio station that I ended up working at for 10 years because I included that tune on my application demo tape...
Cannot go wrong with SD. They only used the best musicians, producing unrivaled sound quality. Got to see them just b4 Walter Becker passed (RIP) and they were PHENOMINAL! A few suggestions: Babylon Sisters, Hey Nineteen, and Pretzel Logic. My favorite records by this group are Gauch and Aja. Thanks for reacting.
I, too, saw them before Walter Becker died and it was the best concert I had seen in a long, long time. Incredibly tight. It cost a lot to see them but it was well worth it. I think Don Fagen is still touring and I imagine the band is just as tight.
Honestly when this song came out, I just really loved the beat, the bass, the vibe, I never really paid much attention to the lyrics😂😂
Steely Dan gave me so much ‘70’s satisfaction; their work incorporated jazz elements and most tunes had brass complement. They and the Doobie Brothers were wonderful.
So much Dan to do! Insane songwriters - Aja, Kid Charlemagne, Boddhisatva, Green Earrings - and so many more. This rabbit hole would suit you guys perfectly ✌🏻
Pretzel Logic is another great one.
Good choices. So many to choose from.
Just to add to the list: "Your Gold Teeth," "Your Gold Teeth 2" --both great and not similar at all. Shows again their versatility. And to see that look come over Rob and Amber's faces: "Everyone's Gone to the Movies"
Let’s add Caves of Altimira
I was born in 1960, so these songs from Steely Dan were in my teenage years. And it’s amazing how listening to this music just put you right back there again. It wasn’t the greatest time in a lot of ways but the songs were just amazing.
70s definitely the best era for Music
The songs kinda made it all ok! I had a blast in the 70s.
Me too!
One of my favorites, love the harmony and horns in “Dirty Work” ! 🎺
yeah, those HORNS!!
My favorite Steely Dan song is Haitan Divorce. It has such a great feel, and it's a real story song.
Steely Dan is one of the deepest rabbit holes you could go down for 70's music (way bigger than Steve Miller). Very difficult to name a bad song. Thus far, you guys have pretty much focused on their earlier works. Their music evolves over the course of their discography into a more up tempo sound that I think you both would really enjoy.
I have trouble thinking of one good Steve Miller song...
This is their best song for me personally. 💞
Same here
I agree!!
This also stands out from the rest of Steely Dan's musical catalog in that it's one of only a couple of songs that aren't sung by Donald Fagen. A man named David Palmer sings lead on this one - and apparently in some of their early live appearances, Palmer sang pretty much all of the songs that Fagen sang on recordings, due to the latter having some pretty intense stage fright in those days. Palmer was really only with them for 2 years, however, and eventually quit the music business altogether to pursue a career in digital photography.
Chevy Chase was their original drummer, back when they were a college/garage band.
@@TahoeNevada you are correct!!
A nice song, however I believe Fagen would have sung it better. Check out the Pointer Sisters version.
I always looked forward to buying a new Steely Dan record when I was young. Still one of my favourites.
@@hartleycwhite I disagree, David Palmer leaves the snarkiness out that Fagen would've added and Palmer sounds more bemused than Fagen would have.
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" is a great one from Steely Dan, and it was a bit hit for them in '74.
So many great songs from this band. "Do it Again" is my favorite.
Good one!!!! You can never go wrong with Steely Dan 🤘🏽
Exactly.
Literally. You could get a list of all their songs, blindfold yourself, point and strike gold.
@@europe7249 I concur!!! You hit the nail on the head with that one 👊🏽
@@peterhineinlegen4672 totally 👊🏽
Guys, you've barely begun to scratch the surface of this incredible band. So many tunes for you left to discover.
Some suggestions:
Midnite Cruiser
Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me)
Kings
Changing of the Guard
Pearl of the Quarter
The Boston Rag
Any Major Dude Will Tell You
Night By Night
Doctor Wu
Bad Sneakers
Peg
Deacon Blues
Steely Dan is a rabbit hole that goes very deep. The level of artistry across their entire catalog is insane. An all time Top Five band for me.
Steely Dan is a pretty deep rabbit hole. Lots of great music and each song unique. In your listening, don't forget Donald Fagen's solo albums post-SD. The Nightfly and Kamakiriad both have some amazing music!
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Black Friday", "Doctor Wu", "The Fez", "Haitian Divorce", "Deacon Blues", "peg", "Josie", "Hey Nineteen"
You guys are set to hit 2000 videos on 2/23/23! Congratulations in advance!!!
My favorite Steely Dan song, and an absolutely slept on classic.
Rikki Don't Lose That Number by Steely Dan, another great one!
Steely Dan is my groove. They lean toward jazz. Studio perfectionists 😊 ☮❤🎶
Steely Dan is a fantastic group! You should listen to “Black Cow” off the Aja album. So jazzy and fun, with some killer sax work, Amber!
LOVE this band... you should definitely check out more by The Dan.. one of my favorites is Babylon Sister (shake it) and Janie Runaway.. along with Kid Charlemagne. A lot of their songs have veiled drug references due to Walter Becker's (one of the two founding members) struggle with heroin addiction. Their catalogue is extensive and spans decades.. you won't be disappointed! Love the channel guys.. keep up the good work. Stay safe everyone and peace out!
Tip of the iceberg guys. I recommend "Kid Charlemagne", "Babylon Sisters", "Black Cow", "Don't Take Me Alive", "Aja", "Show Biz Kids", "Peg", "Got the News", "Haitian Divorce", "Pretzel Logic", "Deacon Blues", much more..
Love Steely Dan. We have a running joke in my family if we don’t know who an artist is when a song comes on we say it’s Steely Dan. (Of course this was back before Google, if no one knew who it was, it stayed that way) 😂
LOL 😂
Kid Charlemagne, Caves of Altamira, Your Gold Teeth, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Haitian Divorce, Don’t Take Me Alive, Pretzel Logic, Green Earrings, FM, Here at the Western World, Deacon Blues, Josie, Glamour Profession, Hey 19, Babylon Sisters. Truly an infinite rabbit hole.
I was in my teens when this came out, I can't imagine how my mom didn't go nuts with me playing the album over & over & over & ...etc. I was always glad she didn't pay much attention to the words, like on this song. Great one to react to, great to see you young folks learning about some old school music! I sure have fun learning new music, it's fun both ways ;-)
Just want to say you guys have one of the better sounding audio playbacks compared to most other reaction channels. Keep up the good work ! And I just Subscribed :)
WELCOME TO THE FAM!! 👍😃👍😃👍
This song was the second song after "Do It Again" off their debut album!! Talk about a 1-2 punch! The rabbit hole is deep and the numbers in the Dandom are plenty.
I was fortunate to see Steely Dan open for Elton John in '73. Went out and bought this album next day. It started my trip down the rabbit hole that is jazz.
Steely Dan is musical perfection!
Great song by a great band, I was fortunate enough to see them twice in concert and they sound just as good live as they do on CD.
What an infectious, groovy groove. Strange how they keep the Steely Dan 'sound' with so many changes to their musicians. Maybe getting the best is their secret. lol
I've always believed that Steely Dan is the epitome of irony, in that no two of their songs sound alike, but when you hear one, you know it's Steely Dan. SD tops my stuck on a desert island band list. Please do more. Thank you for what you do. We enjoy you two very much. ✌️
Classic 70s, absolutely L-O-V-E it!!! ❤️👍 I was born in 71 so I grew up totally immersed in the music of that era. It's so ingrained that I know the lyrics to songs I didn't even realise I knew!
Love their initially cryptic sounding lyrics that I tend to understand the more I listen to them
Yes!! More Steely Dan please!! Can't go wrong with any of their songs.
I’m 62 and I never knew these guys recorded this song. Always heard it on the radio but never paid attention to who sang it. Learn something new everyday
Amber can be very insightful. I’ve been listening to music since 1961 and she has opened my eyes to songs I’ve been listening to for a very long time.
I think you have just scratched the surface of this amazing band.
‘FM’, Black cow, Caves of Altimira, Don’t take me alive, Haitian Divorce, Peg, Hey Nineteen…..the list goes on. I envy you listening to songs by bands like this for the first time.
Enjoy 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Steely Dan was a studio band. A good compilation of a group of very talented musicians that put out great material.
You have not even scratched the surface of Steely Dan. Josie, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Deacon Blues, Babylon Sisters, Black Friday, PEG, the list just goes on and on.
The first person that knows what the eponymous Steely Dan was named after wins their very own slightly used steely dan. Here's a hint the answer can be found in the pages of the book Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs
My favorite Steely Dan song is probably "Deacon Blues". But they have so many great songs you really can't go wrong
There is so much great music from this band; DR. Wu, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Peg, Aja, FM, Black Friday, and much more.
This is one of the best debut albums ever! The whole album is worth listening to.
You really should do something from their album "Aja", either the title track, or "Peg". You'll be shook!
Their first 7 albums from 72 to 80 are filled with great songs
You have opened up a can of worms with Steely Dan - so many great songs!! THANK YOU
This song was featured in the movie "American Hustle " (2013) of director David O. Russell.
My favorite Steely Dan song is "My Old School". I never get tired of hearing that song. Since you've already listened to that one, let me suggest "Barrytown".
Love the song, love the group, this is the music I grew up listening to as a teenager
Deacon Blues is rated by many to be their best song. Lyrics, vocals and harmonies and musicians are top notch. They have dozens of great songs.
This is the ultimate "friends zone" song. LOL
A top 5 band of all time for me. There's no one else like them
Steely Dan, the band your favorite band listened to.
You guys will love Steely Dan's FM. great song. Horns and great bass line.
One of very few groups in history where if you asked what is your favorite Steely Dan Album , you will almost definitely get 4 or more different responses . They were just that good , and almost every album could be played straight thru without a bad tune .
My all-time favorite tune by Steely Dan....just love the horn riff ...great music never dies
I can honestly say Steely Dan never made a bad song.
One of my favorites by them, in part because it wasn't overplayed on the radio. Two others are Midnight Cruiser and Change of the Guard. Great band.
Steely Dan is definitely my "desert island" band. Their catalog can take you anywhere you want to go. Please do much more SD like Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Josie, Black Cow, and two of my top choices, Aja and Deacon Blues. But then again there's Pretzel Logic, Babylon Sisters, and Any Major Dude. OK, just pick any song and you'll be impressed!
One of the best bands! Sooooo many great songs by them. Peg, Aja, Hey Nineteen, etc. So many sounds from this group. And love this song!!! ❤️
I'm not the biggest Steely Dan fan and I have to admit that as a teen in the 1970s I didn't know Dirty Work was by them probably because it wasn't Donald Fagan singing lead but David Palmer. It does have a great chorus/hook.
"Peg" is the song you should do - killer bass, killer guitar - just a great song.
Absolutely explore Steely Dan a lot MORE !!!! There is so much cool music there. You have simply scratched the surface.....
I've recommended before: Josie, off Aja, Steely Dan!!! Magnificent song. You won't get it out of your head. "...shine up the battle apple...when Josie comes home, so good. She's the pride of the neighborhood. "
Can't go wrong with Steely Dan. All hits, for all reasons and all seasons.
More Steely Dan please! They don’t miss.🖖🏼
thanks! I haven't listened to this in 50 years but I heard it on "Hacks" last night and remembered how classic it is. Thanks for sharing.
I'ive watched several of these reactions to Dirty Work. I love seeing the look on everyone's face when the chorus comes in and they realize why the song is called Dirty Work.
Steely Dan was a great band with incredible songs. I have always said they had the best songs about absolutely nothing.
