Welcome to Steely Dan world , your parents and grandparents know this stuff , trust me. Next family cookout you attend , play Steely Dan and you will find out.
The song is about an older dude hooking up with a 19 year old. She doesnt even know who Aretha Franklin is, which is starting to bother him so he whips out the tequila and presto... the bothers go away. In case u were wondering. 😉
Steely Dan is my all time favorite band !!!! They haven't recorded a bad song... EVER! You need to check out more of their music! You won't regret it. AJA IS A MUST HEAR!
I'm commenting because you said your grandmother was in her 20s in the 80s. I was 24 in 1984 and yes we were rock'n to Steely Dan and so much more. Your grandmother's generation had all the greats of rock; The Beatles, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Supertramp and the founders of Heavey Metal as well as the grandfather of Rap himself Grandmaster Flash and the list goes on and on. Yep, we had it all, then the 90s happened 😣 and music went down the drain. Channels like your's give me hope though, it's so nice to see the younger generations finding an appreciation for the music we grew up with. There's a channel I would like to recommend to you, Postmodern Jukebox here on CZcams. They feature young artists with incredible talent doing covers with a twist all their own.
@@b00jen81 Oh man! How could I forget Peg?? Would place that ahead of Reelin' What can I say... it's been a loooong time since I listened to Steely Dan.

DUDE! You have discovered "The Dan". You really need to listen to it all. Listen to Donald Fagan solo albums as well (similar vibe). I was the keyboard player in a partial "Dan Band" and had to learn this stuff - best stuff ever!
You have reacted to 1. Do it Again & 2. Hey Nineteen. now you only have about 38 more CLASSIC Steely Dan songs that are outstanding. good luck not finding one that you LOVE. So many FIRE songs. They are truly a genre unto themselves. Lets help Twon out and suggest some more SD..... I will start, "FM", "Kid Charlamage", the whole AJA album.
Black Cow is a must to listen to. That song has been sampled 13x. MF Doom - Gas Drawls. Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz - Deja Vu(Uptown Baby), my favorite! I forgot the rest.
Also it’s a crime Snoop and Warren G don’t give any love to Steely Dan for basically inventing West Coast chill: “The Cuervo gold, the fine Colombian...” lol
You blew my mind when you said 1980! I had no idea so I looked it up. I always thought 70's, but still close enough. I still can't believe it. Great reaction. The bass is probably my favorite part.
fun fact: chevy chase was going to be the drummer for steely, but he was kicked out of college for keeping a cow in his dorm room (as a joke to troll university staff that might discover it if they invaded his private quarters). i forgot the rest of the history, but i think he was accepted to a new school where he pursued acting. ironically, chevy was actually possibly the most talented. he was said to have BOTH the best timing AND concept of melody. later, when asked about the time in the band prior to the name change to _steely dan_ chevy said, "ya, i was part of a bad jazz rock band". the truth is, chevy was just trying to roast of the ubiquitous bands of the last 50 years. this band has survived the ages and defied obsolescence, and rightfully so!
ya, and this was Chevy's favorite song. if you listen to the lyrics its about the guys in their early 30s, chasing younger women (hey nineteen), but how they have less in common. it starts out "back in '67" which 13 years from the time they recorded this in 1980 when were in their early 30s. back in 67 they were in college in boston and when they returned in 1980 to relive memories they found out that they had less in common with the college girls because now they were older and more mature. i like the lyric where he says the college girl never even heard of Athena franklin and he thought that was crazy that she didnt know the queen of soul and she thought he was crazy for talking about old music, which he found very ironic. but now hes just enjoying the night smoking herb (the ceurvo gold, the fine columbian) even though he has less in common with the girls 10 years younger than he did ten years ago. then he says "skate a little lower" because really he just wants to check out the young tail even if they cant "dance together" or "talk at all" but "let me know when to slide on through"!! i love songs like this that are so lyrically pure and easy to understand and just tell a relatable story. just a fun song really
ADonald and Walter 2 genius’s that knew how to put together a song or a hundred tunes with the best studio musicians on Earth. You should let the music flow to get the full appreciation.
It was said that Steeely Dan was the kind of group that would be created by all the smart kids at school! Never afraid to sound different and they truly enjoyed playing with sound in a truly unique way! 😽💋🎶
Fun fact: Donald Fagen and Walter Becker had a jazz trio in college, and their drummer was none other than Chevy Chase. Yes, THAT Chevy Chase. The guy from Saturday Night Live and Fletch and National Lampoon's Vacation and Community.
Steely Dan is both retro/vintage and way ahead of it's time/progressive, somehow. IMHO, the SD discography is the best modern music catalog ever produced to date, 5/21/21, top to bottom, all things considered.
Such a shame you weren't around to go to all these concerts with us! It is so much fun ☺ to watch you react to our music in this day and age! Thank you for being so genuine and real!
Steely Dan were hot in the 1970s until one of the main members died recently. This is a musicians band. If you've been to their concerts they are filled with them. They have so many hits but Kid Charlemagne and Black Cow. Incredible songs!
their lyrics drive me insane- i wish i could say they inspire my playing but i ain't even skilled enough to play their songs much less riff off em lol.
i have this in one of my playlists and the joy i got in seeing you enjoy and rock out to the best parts of the song(IMO) made me smile. when they started harmonizing the Cuervo Gold and your face scrunched..................mine did as well, lol. the eighties were golden. you should listen to Elton John's Someone Save my life tonight. its the same feel good song.
Although it came out in 1980, this song and album vibe more like late 70's (when this was likely written.) I remember being at the skating rink and this coming on. "Skate a little lower now..." It's a perfect skate song.
The classic older guy young gal kinda thing. If she's only informed about the current.....anything really, in this case music, they don't have a common ground. (We can't talk at all) I'm the youngest of a large family who married a man 9 years older, but I knew all the old music! 😹 We could find that commonality and still going strong 37 years now!
Steely Dan "F.M.(No static at all)." and "Black Cow","Peg"which had Michael McDonald on keyboard and backup vocals.Dive in the water is fine with Steely Dan.
Donald once noted that soccer moms would be driving around, finger snappin' and singing along to 'The cuervo gold - the fine columbian - make tonight a wonderful thing' and have no idea what the song was about! LOL
There is no one named Steely Dan they were actually Donald Fagen and Walter Becker(rip) and the many session players that helped in recording their great catalog of work!
Steely Dan is a great place to investigate-one of the best bands ever. So many classic tunes to listen to! EDIT: Yes, about a couple-one very young girl (age 19) and an older man. He is saying that he likes her but they have nothing in common because of the age difference.
Steely Dan was the name Donald Fagen and Walter Becker called their endeavor. Through their musical talent and connections they were able to use the best of the best studio musicians on all their recordings. So, what you're hearing is tightest, in the pocket music performed by the most capable musicians of the time. There are documentaries about these guys and how they made their music.....worth checking out.
If you love background vocals, Steely Dan is a good place to be. Peg, The Fez, Babylon Sisters, Rose Darling, My rival, Third world man are all great songs with background vocals 😊
The Fez, Babylon Sisters (Shake it) are two of my faves.. along with Janey Runaway and Kid Charlemagne.. but I do love Bad Sneakers and a Pina Colada, my Friend too
Every Steely Dan song could have been released 2 weeks ago and still sound fresh.
It took me 20 years to realize how great they really are. Way ahead of their time.
Do yourself a favor and react to Any cut from their Aja album - listen to the drum solos by Steve Gadd on the
title cut; he did them after 20 minutes of rehearsal
Thank you.
Agreed.
Exactly
Fun fact: In "Hotel California" by The Eagles - the line "They stab it with their STEELY knives, But they just can't kill the beast" That was a nod to Steely Dan. ❤
When you wanna do more...
- Peg
- Deacon Blues
- FM (No static at all)
- Black Cow
In Steely Dan’s song “Everything You Did” there’s a funny line about the Eagles too.
@@mikewritz Yes!! Steely wrote the word eagles into their song first - "Steely knives" from The Eagles came after. Mad respect✌❤🎵
Huh... that's actually sort of plausible.
@@mikewritz "Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening...."
Yessss!!! Your very knowledgeable about your music young lady! Just educated me on some songs I didn't know I'm getting ready to turn 60!!!
It's amazing that after 40 years - Steely Dan music holds its value more than most bands.
"The cuervo gold... The fine Columbian...Makes tonight a wonderful thing."
In this case the year doesn’t matter because no one ever sounded like Steely Dan in any era ever! Please react to Dirty Work!
One of my favorite tracks by them
Right. It just was the Steely Dan sound
It wasn't about the 80s or any other time
@@750count Their unique excellence, smooth vocals and harmonies, instrumentally, and eclectic sound, they stood out from every other '80s band ~ One of the best ~ Grooved you into a head place ~ "The Cuervo Gold, The Fine Columbian" Hmmm~ Ah~Ah~Ah ~:-)
Welcome to Steely Dan world , your parents and grandparents know this stuff , trust me. Next family cookout you attend , play Steely Dan and you will find out.
Have to do " Black Cow"
The funk is strong with this one👍
Also Michael McDonald from the Doobie Brothers sang back up for Steely Dan
" what are you looking at me like that for? You know that was fire" Lol. Yes it was! 🔥
That's one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a reaction video. 😆
@@joeday4293 yes!!!
The song is about an older dude hooking up with a 19 year old. She doesnt even know who Aretha Franklin is, which is starting to bother him so he whips out the tequila and presto... the bothers go away. In case u were wondering. 😉
I was about to tell him this too! It's a spicy little story. 😉
"...the Cuervo Gold, the fine Columbian......"
One of the finest date rape songs out there!
Yeah, we have nothing in common... but 😜
Perfect description!
Actually recorded in 1978 and released on their 1980 album "Gaucho", which went Platinum many times over.
Steely Dan is my all time favorite band !!!! They haven't recorded a bad song... EVER! You need to check out more of their music! You won't regret it. AJA IS A MUST HEAR!
Aja is on that rare list of perfect albums because every single song is great.

Couldn't agree more... no one sounds like Steely Dan My fav is probably Reelin' In The Years...Rikki Don't Lose That Number is right up there too.
Yes, definitely recommend these as well, Twon! Plus you can't leave out PEG (my fave 😄)
@@b00jen81 Oh man! How could I forget Peg?? Would place that ahead of Reelin' What can I say... it's been a loooong time since I listened to Steely Dan.
"FM" is so smooth!
Lots of good songs to pick from; I would add "Do It Again" original, I am not fond of some of the live versions.. ♠W.G.
FM (No Static at all) should also go on any list

"Aja"...hands down.....Everything but especially Steve Gadd....
"FM" by Steely Dan is a great funk banger...
Steely Dan...your favorite band's favorite band
You are so likable and fun to listen to.
Ya know when people ask “what song makes you HAVE to get up and move”? For me, it’s THIS song !!! 🎶💜✌️🌏
My favorite Steely Dan song
I can’t wait for you to find out where they got the name Steely Dan.

1980 I was 18, Steely Dan too cool for school baby!

Tequila and reefer....makes tonight a wonderful thing...
The Cuervo gold, the fine Columbian, make tonight a wonderful thing. Indeed ☺️
yeah the song fills all the boxes , it doesn't get any better
Do kids know what “the fine Colombian”means? With weed in stores, I can’t imagine they do. The branding is so much more creative now.
I remember when Columbian used to be the good shit 🤫
Or Thai stick.
A pint of Mad Dog, a nickel bag and hanging with the fellas.
🎵 The Cuervo Gold... 🎵 The Alaskan Thunderfuck... 🎵
not quite the same, huh.
They ain't taslking bout weed. That fine Columbian is COCAINE
Bro, this vibe is as real as you can get. It's 40 years old, so what? It's timeless.
Good to know youth have an unbiased good taste in music. There is hope!
A great song to roller skate to - lol! Aretha Franklin - the queen of soul - great lyrics!
I love watching you young kids fall in love with my music 🔥

If you like this get ready for black cow" and " Babylon sisters two of the best of the best of the best recordings done by Steely Dan
Slapper!!!...
Classic slapper!!! Marijuana Soul!!!
Omg they have a huge library 📚 must do research 🧐 ❤️
You'll be rewarded, fine rabbit hole to get lost in. Check out Babylon Sisters, one of their best
Although it came out in 1980, this song and album vibe more like late 70's (when this was likely written.) I remember being at the skating rink and this coming on. "Skate a little lower now..." It's a perfect skate song.
Hey 21…you’re the best!
I love watching you react. Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes. ❤️
🤗✌ thank You, Brother...mega diddos. Smooth
'Katy Lied' another winner, Steely Dan.
Oh i love Steely Dan and this song...thanks for reacting to them!!
This is the song that got me into Dan. 😎
Killer band. Killer songs.
These guys are top top shelf musicians
This was my SHIT!
Steely Dan is the band name. Michael McDonald killing the background vocals, too.
Their sound is always so clean and crisp. And cool!
This was mid to late 70’s my man! When they were huge.
The classic older guy young gal kinda thing. If she's only informed about the current.....anything really, in this case music, they don't have a common ground. (We can't talk at all) I'm the youngest of a large family who married a man 9 years older, but I knew all the old music! 😹 We could find that commonality and still going strong 37 years now!
"Black Cow," "Green Earrings," and "Kid Charlemagne" are all great choices for your next Steely Dan song.
They always sound so clean and complex!
😽💋🎶
And catchy as well! I think it's the rare combination of complexity/catchy hooks that makes Steely Dan unique
Rikki Don't Lose That Number!!!
PEG...next!!!!
Steely Dan "F.M.(No static at all)."
and "Black Cow","Peg"which had Michael McDonald on keyboard and backup vocals.Dive in the water is fine with Steely Dan.
Fabulous song.
Now you need to hear Peg--with Michael McDonald on backing vocals.
If you haven't, you should look up what the name Steely Dan refers to.
I’m tellin ya, you sir are amazing!
Have fun, keep the heat..you got this!
Donald once noted that soccer moms would be driving around, finger snappin' and singing along to 'The cuervo gold - the fine columbian - make tonight a wonderful thing' and have no idea what the song was about! LOL
Never lose will Steely Dan
"My mother was five years old..." Okay, I'm old now.
'Deacon Blues' Steely Dan is best.
There is no one named Steely Dan they were actually Donald Fagen and Walter Becker(rip) and the many session players that helped in recording their great catalog of work!
Midnight Cruiser from their first album is a great tune as well.
OMG 🤣 your reaction cracks me up...love it! ❤️
That was a synthesizer that sounded like a harmonica.
Steely Dan is a great place to investigate-one of the best bands ever. So many classic tunes to listen to! EDIT: Yes, about a couple-one very young girl (age 19) and an older man. He is saying that he likes her but they have nothing in common because of the age difference.
Awesome reaction!!!
This was literally my theme song when I was 19 🤩 I played it on repeat at every jukebox for that entire year 😅🤍✨✨
Your mom should know it. Your grands definitely know it! I was 5 in 74.
Steely Dan is awesome! To see where they got their name, Google "Steely Dan name".
Check out "Dr. Wu", "FM", "Josie".....Steely Dan is in my top 5 bands of all time
