When I see Lex smiling at the musical points that make me happy, it's all validated.
I see those moments too and it makes me smile.
This song is about an older man trying to get into the pants of a younger woman. They can't really relate to each other: she is young and probably giggly and only wants to dance to Disco, he is older, mellower and likes to dance to 60s R&B. He's kind of saying, "It's OK that we're different. We're here together right now. Let's just get nice and toasted on weed and tequila and see where things go..."
Was it weed he had from Columbia, aren't they famous for producing another party favor that was popular when this song came out?
@@bluebird3281 At the time, Columbia was synonymous with weed. Coke came from Peru.
That's exactly how to explanate the song and it's kind of obvious (especially with the words right in front of you) but... You know, Brad's sleepy and Lex is basically 19.
No, that's not nice. Steely Dan are criminally baroque.
Yeah, it’s not that deep.
Pretty much sums it up. Remember seeing this live, Walter Becker would go into this long monologue during the musical interlude, talking about getting home after the show, and smoking some weed while drinking some Cuervo Gold, before launching into bridge’s lyrics "the Cuervo Gold…!" 😅 …rip… 😞
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Deacon Blues", "Aja" and "Josie"!!!!! Musical geniuses!
My old school tops my list
Love Deacon Blues
Yes, Aja is an excellent album.
All great suggestions! "Home At Last" and "Don't Take Me Alive" need to be heard, as well.
It's easier to list their songs that aren't that good. SOOOOOO many great ones...I can put on almost any album and start at track one and not skip any.
I am a metal head who adores Steely Dan. Proud of it!
Chill Sunday music after a Saturday night of heavy metal
Absolutely.
Me too!🤘🏼
I listen to SO many genres; proud to say if I had to listen to one group/artist for the rest of my life, it would be Steely Dan ❤️
Because it's good. To me it's so good it makes me want to head bang so it's metal anyways.
I love Steely Dan. I always thought this was about an older guy who used to be cool (in '67), now dealing with these 19-year old girls who don't know who Aretha Franklin was. But, he's still willing to offer them the Cuervo Gold and fine Columbian...
That’s exactly what this song is about! Allegedly…
Nailed it.
Pretty much, I see this as one of their less cryptic songs....
...and he's enough of a gentleman that he feels a little bad about them having nothing to talk about, but by the end we discover it doesn't bother him all much. Heh
Yup. Middle age dude can’t relate with the 19 year old he’s dating, UNTIL he fills his beak with cocaine and they do Cuervo shots. Boomer’s a perv, basically.
Steely Dan has some of the best engineered music. Ever note perfect
None better!
Describing art or music as "engineered" was seen as highly derogatory in the 1970s, 80s. Now suddenly cool, apparently, at least judging from how Steely dan fans all over CZcams speaks about it.
@@herrbonk3635 There was nothing derogatory about it in the 70’s here in the US, as virtually everyone knew about the Aja album, in particular, and Donald and Walter being sticklers for sound quality! Everyone engineered their songs in the sound room on the mixer! Anyone working at the high-end sound centers talked about the quality of their music with a number of other groups, like Year of the Cat by Al Stewart, Alan Parsons Project and many others!
@@lantose But their sound wasn't even that good. That's some kind of myth. There is a lot of treble distortion on Aja, probably the TIM (transient intermodulation) that plauged many early transistor amplifiers. The first and 1975 albums have so much sound issues that Fagan refused to listen to them for 20 years. Many of the the songs on the 1973 album sounds much better though, for some reason. Ray Browns acoustic bass is very well captured for instance (think it was Razor boy).
They always labored over the projects and would hire different musicians to play the same parts, take after take. I won't fuss about semantics, I get your point. 😎👍
There are certain bands that make music unlike any other and cannot be replicated. Steely Dan is one of those bands; just all the right ingredients meeting all at the right time to produce the perfect sound. Timeless.
So happy you discovered Steely Dan, check out "Dirty Work", "Josie", "Aja", "Deacon's Blues", "FM".
i know this is completely out in left field, but have you seen the mashup called "steely danzig"? dirty work and mother combines pretty well surprisingly.
@@emptybraincase4181 I checked it out, lol. Was that a combination of steely dan's instrumental track with the vocals from the other band with no tweaking of either songs tempo? If it was, that's funny.
"Dirty Work" is a classic... Becker & Fagan were just brilliant together.
Regan Zig--I just remembered a song that I think Lex would enjoy. I.G.Y. by Steely Dan off of the Nightfly album.
@@patriciawright8786 The song "Maxine" off of Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" is probably the most lush recording I've ever heard... 32 digital-track recording awesomeness.
Lex's interpretation with the turtleneck leather jacket vibe is perfection.
I worked at a music store in the early '80s, and we used this song to demo PA systems, because it was so amazingly recorded and engineered. We sold a lot of gear with this song.
In the early 2000s I came home from work before my wife...around 4pm. Every night...BIG btl of wine...making dinner...Steely Dan greatest hits CD, waiting for my wife to come home...530 ish. BEST TIME IN MY LIFE! God I miss those times....
Steely Dan in a different universe than most other groups.
All other groups
I was 17 in 1967 and I understand every word he says, and have for over forty years. I love Steely Dan
TIME OUT OF MIND is a sharp curving song that moves along a driving groove with authority. The bonus is the Michael McDonald background vocals. Enjoy.
Kevin Caulder--OH, how about New Frontier?
@@patriciawright8786 I absolutely love NEW FRONTIER. It goes well driving home with nothing in front of you but the open road and the weekend. Relax and drive with no worries. And the animated video is fitting for the 5o's era it describes. And because I am an student and artist. Donald Fagen is on point with his lyrical styling and beautifully jazzy pop culture magic. Simply fantastic.
Steely Dan - Night by Night! Their funkiest track, very aggressive horn arrangement, killer guitar solo!
Night By Night is now the opening track for their amazing '22 tour, re-engineered while still staying mostly true to the original, especially the horns and killer guitar work that you mention.
I couldn’t wait to turn 19 and this song stayed on repeat for that entire year…
I played it on every bar juke box that I could find 😅
Wishing I could go back now ✨
The Nightfly was one of the best albums of the eighties, every song was amazing. But that was a solo album by Donald Fagan. I think this song was off Gaucho another great Steely Dan album
Lex wearin' an EVH head bandana, a Slayer tee, groovin' to Steely Dan...Who could ask for anything more.
This song could've been released as an instrumental and it would still be a killer jam!
These songs are so well produced. So slick, so chill, so nice. Play them a lot.
Steely Dan! Smooth sailin'...
Perfect.when you sit in the shade on a sunny day...
It is a special blend of jazz, rock, funk and a touch of Fagen/Becker.
Good album too!
It amazes me how great this album still sounds , Babylon Sisters is incredible
Yes...definitely one of their best songs.
When you play an album play “AJA” it is simply one of the best albums ever made a masterpiece !
The whole of Prezel Logic and Can’t Buy A Thrill albums are brilliant. A must have in everybody’s collection.
She is so energetic you gotta smile when she smiles 😮
Love, Love, Love Steely Dan ♥️
The only band that I loved everyone off their songs growing up. There is something in ever one of their songs that gets you hooked. I am a Who fan through and through. By far my favorite band. But if I had too listen too a band all day Steely Dan is the beast. Vast and varied catalogue. Steely Dan Blue Oyster Cult and The Kinks are 3 bands I can put on all day and love ever minute of it.LONG LIVE THE WHO
"Hey 19 " is a totally Roller Skating song.Was always playing at the Skating Rink.
Check out Steely Dan's "Black Cow", and also FM (No static at all).
Yes! Everyone "young" was roller skating back then. I remember watching a roller skating movie which starred Linda Blair (from The Exorcist) lol.
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz "Deja Vu" (Black Cow Sample) "No Static at All" Sampled by 3rd Bass
Saw them live this year at the Hollywood Bowl…they sounded sooooo good! Try “Reeling in the Years” next!
I was at the show also. It was so good. It was kinda strange in a way that my brother and I are 56 and 58 yrs old and we were some of the youngest people attending the show. But then I had to remember I was about five or six when I first heard Steely Dan and their fan base was already 15 - 20, 25-30 years old at that time in the early '70s. I sometimes forget how old I am and how early I was exposed to music having very young parents and older siblings who were into music.
We couldn't have had a better night at the Bowl to see such a great set of musicians and singers, perfect weather, great crowd amazing set list.
@@13_13k There's plenty of Bands out there that deserve to grow their audience. Unfortunately, only a handful of artists like Bob James, Bobby Caldwell, the Isleys and James Brown really embraced what Hip Hop was doing with their Music. Shrugs
@@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO ---- I'm not trying to dis you, honestly but what does your comment have to do with what I wrote about the age of the crowd at a Steely Dan concert?
You guys should react to more Steely Dan…
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Aja", "Deacon Blues", "Bodhisattva", "Time Out of Mind", "Any Major Dude Will Tell You", "Hey Nineteen", "Show Biz Kids", "Fire in the Hole", "My Old School", "Dirty Work", "Josie"
🎸🤘
Don't forget My old School
Great list. The thing with Steely Dan is there are no bad songs.
I agree, Time out of mind is what got me into these guys. Then I back tracked to all the older beauties.
when this album came out I was in my twenties, I'd pour me a glass of wine crank it up, and stand on the balcony knowing I was cool!! LOL!!
Steely Dan is such a cool chill band. I used to listen to them at the beach in Hawaii with some Corona's or on a Sunday afternoon sippin some single malt. Goucho is a great album to listen through chilling out...
Masters of their own genre. Perfect music. Period.
5 seconds into this song and I know I'm listening to well-recorded, amazing musicians. Minimal notes, in the pocket.
I just tuned in & I love this beautiful young woman. She has great energy & reminds me of myself when I was younger. Also, I appreciated how fast the music started. I found Steely Dan when I was 17-years--old.
Black Cow is one of their best.
Reminds me of when I met my husband. He was 19 and I was 26. We've been married now almost 40 years. We find plenty to talk about and we have a lifetime in common.
Definition of "Yacht Rock." (& I LOVE it!) 🥰😍🤩
I can remember this song being on when my dad took me to work with him in the early 80s. I liked it back then but I didn’t realize what a masterpiece it was until years later. I have a lot of respect for Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. And of course the awesome studio musicians of which they had so many great ones. Much respect to the Dan. I think “time out of mind” is my favorite but it’s hard to say. So many good ones!
Oh and how could I forget the early days. They have some pretty wild videos back in the early 70s.
One of the classiest bands ever, and light years ahead of their time 🙏
THE BEST music. Steely Dan, that beat just keeps me moving in my chair, slow and easy.
Steely Dan were so cooler-than-
cool. Unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of rock, funk, jazz, and cool! Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart only came along once!
Love Steely Dan!
Check out “Peg” also. Steely Dan absolutely has a vibe.
they reacted to Peg Jan 19, 2022
They should react to BLACK COW - CAVES OF ALTAMIRA - THE FEZ and all the other albums as well! They could spend the rest of the year and still not get to all of them.
Saw them in Richmond, Virginia, last Friday night. Awesome show. Been waiting forever to see them live.
I'm jealous !
Saw the Dan at an outside venue in June, the drummer was one of the best I'd ever seen. They had phenomenal sound and balance for being an open air performance. The only other group that is even close in outdoor quality of sound and music was the Van Morrison show I saw in May.
I have twin boys that are 19 one of which LOVES Steely Dan. I guess I raised 'em right! 🤣
Loved Lex’s reaction 😍
Donald Fagan and Walter Becker (RIP) were perfectionists! Several of their contracted musicians would get frustrated at how many takes on numerous songs, but the pay was great and they ultimately kept playing until the song(s) were basically perfect in Donald and Walter’s opinion!
Beautiful guitar work by the late Hugh McCracken. Really melodic and suited the track perfectly.
This is a great SD song. You should give a listen to " Dirty Work" one of my favorite SD songs. Love your reactions. Rock On🎶🎵🎶🎼
One of my least favourite.
@@herrbonk3635 Fair enough. But I love the Saxophone and it stands out in Dirty Work. Plus they were singing about Cougars before they got a name. lol ☮️☮️
@@aileenturrietta7553 I love sax too :) But mostly in jazz oriented tunes or solos (as some from SD are).
Steely Dan is, or was two college friends, Donald Fagan and Walter Becker(R.I.P.) who loved music and they had clicked and started writing and playing together and it turned out they were such genius writers and musicians that they got a record deal and they hired only the very best of the best studio session musicians and they never formed a band because they would literally use different musicians to play each instrument on each song. They would audition 3 or 4 guitar players just to play the guitar solo in one song finding the one player who caught that vibe and sound they wanted and that person would record his part in that one song and be done. They did this type of recording for 10 years or more and for four or so albums with a lot of big hits but never went on tour or played live anywhere ever. Because they didn't really know how they could pull it off without having two dozen musicians. They finally started touring live in the early 1990s almost 20 years after their first album.
I think I was about six or seven years old when I first heard Steely Dan and Rikki Don't Lose That Number was the song that started me on the journey with their music. They are a band that musicians love and people who appreciate details and writing and musicianship and masterful playing of instruments. My friends thought I was weird because I love this band. I was a metal, punk rock, new wave, funk, and classic rock listener, but I listen to all music if it is good music..
They were such perfectionists with their recording they were known to spend 6 months on one song hiring and recording and firing and rerecording and then doing it again remixing almost to the point of insanity. Some musicians didn't like recording with the two leaders of the group because they were so picky and sometimes difficult to work with. Other times, if the musician had the sound they knew they wanted they would let that person do what came natural instead of trying to get them to play specific notes or with a sound they wanted.
I just saw them in concert in May of this year at the Hollywood Bowl. One of my favorite bands and they were amazing.
This was the first song ever to have a fully programmable digital drum machine on it. SD's chief engineer Roy Nichols built it and called it Wendel. He recorded all the drum samples himself, and he helped Donald program the beats in the song, fills and all. This was at least 2 years before the Linn Drum drum machine came out.
Can somebody put a list together a list of Lex' quotes? They are so random and amazingly hilarious!
And call them “Lex-isms”
Music Bloopers!
Lex is kind of a mystic. Totally in the moment. Wisdom beyond her years, which at first appear as random visions, but after some consideration, one realizes she's nailed it again. Old soul, Lex is. Brad is the perfect foil, overthrowing everything or dozing off. Love them both. 🙏✌️❤️✌️🙏
Hey my birth year. 1967. Love steely Dan. There are so many songs. You definitely picked a good rabbit hole to dive into
Thank you for sharing this with me
This song is definitely a vibe! I remember hearing it as a child back in the days. I'm an aspiring dj that listens and plays all types of music but have never indulged in this song until now idk why. This song has been on repeat because I love the composition and musicianship and I like to find parts of a track that can be mixed with another song or transitioned to. Been digging through Steely Dan's discography and have discovered a track called "black cow" from their "Aja" album that was sampled by Peter Gunz and Lord Tariq "Deja Vu" (uptown baby) never knew this until now lol. But songs like this peaks my curiosity of who the artists are and what inspires the song and the meaning of the lyrics. But sometimes I like to just let it all be mysterious the song seems to not get old that way I think.
Lex hit the nail on the head with Steely Dan. Classy, different and jazzy stuff.
The song is about an older guy still courting 19 year olds. He talks about how they have a generation gap. “The Cuervo Gold, the fine columbian” likely refers to booze and cocaine.
Actually I believe the Columbian is weed
The columbian was a reference to weed. Back then, columbian was the very finest.
@@mrsteve3527 yep
Columbian was Primo weed back in the 70's!
@@careym3901 Primo 🤣🤣😉. Haven't heard that used in a while.
I've been waiting for this one. : )
To me, this is a true life story. Being in in his mid thirties at a party. Getting hit on by a 19 year old lady. Telling himself no, but saying yes to her.
Wonderful Precision and Exquisite Melodic Timing....Go STEELY.
Steely Dan is sheer perfection!
Such a funky cool song. It'll be timeless.
This is my getting up in the morning music. Such a cool sound.
Everytime Lex says “ooh” an angel gets its wings.
Having been listening to them for decades , saw them in concert in 2021 here in my town , Huntington NY. My older brother named his Daughter after the Aja album.
"What are words anyway... I don't know" lol 😄
"What are words anyway?" I love it
Oh yes!! My favorite band and my favorite song!
My favorite band! Such a rabbit hole!!
Production on this song is perfecto.
Also it's absolutely lovely watching the smile break out on your face when you hear those jams
Steely Dan is just the best!
Lex. You pretty much nailed it when you described the guys in the beginning. Cool! lol
Yay! My fave by them along with FM! Such a great song! Keep On Rockin'
Was watching your 50s 60s and noticed alot of what they were requesting was day O it's actually called The Banana Boat Song Day O
A favorite for rexing at the rink! Rexing - dancing on your skates, super popular back in the day. 😎
The Skate was a popular dance in the mid 60s
You guys our the BEST......👍👍
So much you need to hear from them.
Love, love, love Steely Dan. they have lots of amazing music. "Deacon Blues" should me next but anything they do is awesome.
Just a song about the idea that you can't regain your youth and you never understand the generation before you. It's a universal and timeless theme.
Now this takes me back to being 18 years old In 1980, they are a one of a kind feel good vibe band, top shelf musicians 😎
SMOOTH! The Dan!
Luv Steely Dan
The recording is nicely done clean every instrument is present
So fucking smooth! Love this song.
What you kids are doing here, these reactions, you're creating common ground between your generation and mine who grew up with this music. For two generations who seem to have nothing in common.... you're changing that and I'm so proud of you for that. Thank you for your channel!
Also, this is one of the sickest beats in history! Did I use that word right? Lol.
I remember I was just out of high school, and the radio station did an album side of Aja by the start of the third song I drove to the closest record store and bought the album. The music stands the test of time, that was 35 years ago. Wow I'm old.
One of my favourites!
HEAVY on FM radio back in 1980. SO Good!
Was there for this one. This song is S-M-O-O-T-H
you crack me up Lex. 😂😂
Wow what a feeling that gives you
LUV LUV LUV HIM/THEM back in the day and still today!!!
"What are words anyway?" Classic Lex....
This is Friday evening, just got home, having your first drink music ;)
My favourite Steely Dan song!
Its not sole survivors - its Soul Servivors. The Soul Survivors are an American, Philadelphia-based, soul and R&B group, founded by New York natives Richie and Charlie Ingui along with Kenny Jeremiah. The Soul Survivors are known for their 1967 hit single Expressway to Your Heart. In the 1970s, the group lost its record contract and its manager and eventually disbanded. Charlie Ingui became a landscaper, Richie Ingui became a house painter, Paul Venturini became a restaurateur, and drummer Joe Forgione owned an auto body shop.[ At that time, Steely Dan noted in their song Hey Nineteen: "It's hard times befallen the Soul Survivors".
I thought I should hand out flowers ... Lexi, you have the sweetest spirit. I swear it would be so cool hanging with you🎉🎉🎉
Steely is a different flavor, Love it
