When younger people call me a "Boomer", i say "Hey Nineteen". 😃
"FM" is not on any Steely Dan Album. Please don't forget to look for it.
One of their best Tunes, was originally made for a Sound Track for a Movie with the Same name.
Specifically, the extended version with the sax outro...
Yes, please!
I have that original album on vinyl!
A great one for sure!
Me too! @@lauraallen55
The Cuervo Gold, the fine Colombian...
Say it again ...
@@stevedahlberg8680 The Cuervo Gold, the fine red buds...
And the irony is, there's no way of telling whether the girl is still by his side at that point or not.
@@MisterWondrous Tequila actually
I remember Colombian Gold
I remember when this song came out. The song is about a 19 year old who is too young for the singer. It came out in 1980. That means 19 is now 63. Damn, that hurts
The event took place in 1967 when he was an upper classman and she was 19. That would make her 76, I think. It's been a long day and I've been drinking so my math could be off by a few years.
@@philipberger621 I thought the line "Way back in 1967" means that the narrator is telling the girl about something that happened back then, and about how huge Aretha Franklin & soul music in general were at the time, but she can't relate to it.
The beauty of Steely Dan: often upbeat-sounding, slick production, and complex arrangements masking lyrics often involving regret, yearning, and darker themes
When "head bopping" starts within the first few bars of a song, you know it's gonna be a good. Thanks L33!
She thinks I'm crazy bu I'm just growing old...#heynineteen❤
Two years after this came out I was 32 dating a 19 year old, I totally can relate this song.
23 years after it came out I was 19 dating a 33 year old, so I can relate to it from the other side lol!
@@lauraallen55LOL!
:D @@stevedahlberg8680

LOL - four years later I was 27 dating a 17 year old - picking her up after school in my Silverado. Good Times.
Hey 19 on May 19 👍
"FM(No Static At All)" by Steely Dan. IT IS FIRE!!!
I had some really bad dreams last night, reminding me of the painful things happening in my life, and I don’t really have people to talk to about it, but I threw this video on on my way to work and it made me feel better. I love you dude, love your videos, keep being a real g. Thank you
Bruce and Michelle here: We love this song. Lee, you mentioned the live album Alive in America. I'm on the back cover of the CD. That's me in the bottom right.
Ya, these guys are mellow. I'm an old rocker, Led Zeppelin, Stones, 60's & 70's but I really like this band. "FM" is a must.
Some of the best late night chill music ever!
Incredible Pick!! Love this❤
i love the vibe of this song, it so 70s'
he was too old. she was too young. they drank and smoked until it just didnt matter LOL
Talkin's overrated sometimes.
He was 25, and only feeling old.
@@jollyrodgers7272 in the 70s 25 and 19 were much farther apart then they are in the 2020s
i was there.
L33, you know it's gonna be a great song when you get all these comments hours before the video actually plays . ;-) Definitely one of their best. Rock on bro.
I will forever love this song ❤
Ah yes. The Dan Universe is a mighty force my friend. So tasty. So classy. So good.
Always enjoy Steely Sundays!...I guess you haven't been able to do them, but still hoping you will be able to react to GREEN EARRINGS and SIGN IN STRANGER from the Royal Scam album. Such great songs to miss out on!
That opening riff... and it gets better
I love Steely Sunday!
The Soul Survivors was an old group. They had some great songs. I can’t think of any titles of theirs right now.
They were from Philly.
"Expressway to Your Heart" was the big hit from them.
Love this bopping smooth Steely Dan!
"What a happy song," you said, just as I was thinking, "What a sad song"... Lee!
This is the song that kicked off my Steely Dan fandom. Not only is it awesome, it was always a blast on stage because Walter Becker would do a little monologue in the middle, and he customized it for the locale.
I believe SD used a drum machine, or computer they called Wendel to lay down the drum track. It actually uses sampling from actual drummers then programmed. They had such a hard time getting the track they wanted with real drummers.
Amazing ahead of its time with programmed drums not even invented yet.
This song is so smooth. Always loved this one.
My pick for the best cleaning-up-the-kitchen with friends song ever.
Requests..."FM" from the movie of the same name and "My Rival" from Gaucho. It's a bit different. Kind of wierd actually. But I like it! And anything off The Royal Scam that you haven't done yet. Or anything off the Two Against Nature live concert.
Nice. I just love this. One of my favorites of theirs. Happy tune, messed up story made for a good song.
This is a great " just chillin" song
This is my favorite Dan album, every song is amazing. Fagen's solo work is excellent as well. Check out Trans Island Skyway from the Kamakiriad album, although it's a Fagen solo effort, Becker actually produced it. And you're right, SD is a great storytelling band. One more song from The Royal Scam, Green Earrings, it's jaw droppingly good!
Drums on this might be Rick Marotta's drumming put through 'Wendell' - sound engineer Roger Nichols' drum machine/ Sampler, which could digitally record any real players 'real drumming' and have all the parameters -tempo, timbre, etc.. adjusted to 'machine-like perfection.'
If I had to choose just one band's catalog to take with me when I put my cue back in the rack, it would be Steely Dan. Not just great music but, arguably, the best and most consistently well written "rock" lyrics ever.
Radio 📻 loved this jam. Soundtrack of my childhood. Lol🎶🎶🎵🎶🎸🎧✌️
Your dart hit on a good tune! Love the lyrics in this song
Such an understated and bittersweet song. Donald was just thirty when they began recording it, I guess, but he's already seen "too much monkey business" in some ways, not least around Calfornia, and the feeling of getting older is tapping on his shoulder. I feel some of the same way about "Hunter and the Hunted", a beautiful track off Simple Minds' "New Gold Dream" album from 1982, an album as great and acclaimed as The Nightfly - that one is about the passage of time too in some way, it even includes the line "Life moves so fast"... 🎶🎵💙
"Here at the Western World" never appeared on any Steely Dan album but showed up on their Greatest Hits. It's worth a listen. Also, there are a good half dozen tracks circulating on CZcams that were discarded and never commercially released at all, and they're all great. These guys were perfectionists, and if it wasn't 100%, it was out.
I saw them in 73 when they were in the Chicago tour I think after Bruce quit it.
Although Marotta is credited with drums on the track, the main beat was compiled using Wendel, the drum machine invented for this album by engineer Roger Nichols. Marotta played the fills. The history and technology of Wendel is very interesting
More late 70's than early 80's.
I was about to say what Mister Wonderful. Yep, it a 🥶 song!
Gold is Steely Dan,🤼🤼💕
If you want to hear something groovy from Two Against Nature, give Janie Runaway a listen. It is one of my favorite Dan tunes! Keep up the great work Lee, it's going to pay off for you... take care all and peace!.
"Nice!" " Sho' looks good" "Mmmm mmmm mmm" "Skate a little lower now" - in case you talked over the dirty ol' commentary from the background. This is the sort of radio song soccer moms all over the country were beboppin' to in their minivans, without realizing just what was going on! Cuervo Gold and Fine Columbian makes tonight a wonderful thing - bridging that age gap between an undergrad of 19 and a grad student all of 25 - LOL!
It's become Hey 45 all too soon. In 1972, when some of us started our journey with SD, 19 was too old!
For all of the divorced guys out there, try Things I Miss The Most from Everything Must Go, their final album. Lunch With Gina kills too.
Liked and commented! Peace & Love.
I'm a big Steely Dan fan. I don't know if you have reacted to these already but.The song Aja, FM, Reeling in the years, Dirty Work, Haitian Divorce, Katie Lied.
Two Against Nature is a great album. Go ahead and listen.
One thing you should be aware of - only for some people was music a background thing. Many of us held music in the foreground - paying attention to the feel of the music as well as the lyrics and how all of that made us feel and related to our lives and experiences at the time.
I always love sings that have both
Hey My Brother Music is the strongest bond I have with my daughter, so I feel you, bro my girl will be 38 in a few months when my girl was old enough to ride up front without a booster and a classic tune comes over the FM KLOS, KMET, can't forget KROQ, radio stations here in LA Ca. I'd take an extra spin around the block, lay flat down the windshield of my 69 Bronco, and let her steer the wheel with air blowing back her hair singing as loud as we could over the open-topped with the Ford 302 Boss V8 load monster. My girl must have been 5 or 6 years old, as you can imagine 1991 the radio stations played 60's, 70's, and 80's, 24/7 rap, wasn't played much yet, we called, heavy metal cock rock, to this day we share music it's our language of love
Throw a dart.... bound to find another great DAN song.
This is really pre - 80s leading into the "80s."
Check out Third World Man from the same album. Another great song from them!
Oh yessss!!!!! I love Third World Man. What a beautiful laid back vibe.
This was sort of an unofficial song for me and a woman I dated in college who was 40 when I was 21. Still friends with her 35 years later. Always makes me smile, good tune. Thanks, Lee
Beware, this song will worm its way into your head if you listen to it much. I actually think it ends up being one of their best songs when you put all the pieces together.
I agree that it sounds like early 80s, but there's more nuance to it than that. It still has that really laid-back 70s Soul groove to it, and it's so chill. And the lyrics are fairly simple but really clever and fit with the mood perfectly. It seemed so hip at the time compared to normal early 80s pop music.
Use to skate the hell out of this song back in the day- “ Skate a little lower now”
Haha that's awesome! I always wanted to learn how to do some form of skating. I was more of a bike and longboard kid 😂
Now this would be labelled Yacht Rock. Two Against Nature won the Grammy for Best Album. It includes one or two songs about "seedy LA" (West of Hollywood) but for a smile, listen to Cousin Dupree. But you really need to discover Fagan's Morph the Cat album from 2006.
Once upon a time, I was the 19 to someone's 33. That was 21 years ago, though lol!
Always ready for Steely Dan.
The Soul Survivors....
Nice tune about a teenage girlfriend :)
THE DAN CONTINUES ITS INFATUATION WITH THE OLDER MAN YOUNGERWOMAN THEME SHE DONT REMEMBER THE QUEEN OF SOUL.
Yep, this would have been like discussing Isaac Hayes (a major hero of mine) with people who mostly just know him as the Chef on South Park... 😁
When I was in my early thirties I dated a guy who said he was in his twenties and ended up being nineteen. We met in a dance club. He was a great dancer who was in the navy and his ship was docked in Philly for a while.
My favorite Steely Dan song - Followed by Decon Blue and Aja.
if you get a chance check out the live version of Bodhissatva , it was the B side of Hey Nineteen .best introduction ever. It is on the Citizen Dan disc. it is not the midnight special video. great channel
Also, how appropriate that you would have Hey Nineteen on May 19.😅
😅😅🙃
Except for I have been asking for abylon Sisters ever since I started watching, NO PRESSURE!!
We did it weeks ago lol

@@L33Reacts Sorry. I have been in the hospital! My bad!
One of the comments was to look for FM, totally agree!! It wasn’t on any album, as it was for a movie. Another one you’ll only find on the greatest hits album, is Here at the Western World, as it was recorded during the Royal Scam sessions, but got cut because of room on the vinyl album. Listen to that song, and realize that this incredible song, with the typical, cryptic, Steely lyrics, that this being cut, would be another bands top song !👍
Aja is my favorite too along with a couple of more outstanding albums!
Ha! Sounds cool and happy, but of course because it’s the Dan, it’s kinda sad.
I also was a guy who, going through a divorce, got paired up with a 19 yr old who I thought was 25… and I was 37, and she thought I was 30. But once we started talking about our backstories, we… like the protagonist in this song… realized that we had very little in common.
I loved tequila (not Cuervo), but gratefully not cocaine!
Have a great week L33 and subs!
I resemble that remark
I like this one. The protagonist isn’t really old, he’s by no means past it. But he’s just realized with a bit of a shock that he’s no longer in the same category as teenagers, and he looks kind of old to them. If you think that’s a sad situation at 30, just wait-it gets sadder with time. But I still like it anyway. As you say, the music isn’t sad.
You can never go wrong with Steely Dan. Oh, and the Columbian was fine! 🔥🔥🔥
Jive Miguel is in from Bogota. 😃
Older guy, strip club, thinking hes scoring with a young beauty, and realizes, they have nothing in common conversation wise. ...❤
The refrain at the end intrigues me. I don't know anything about pot so I can't speak to fine Colombian, but Cuervo Gold is LCD bottom shelf tequila. Why would it contribute to a wonderful night?
Hey, L33, when you mentioned the great album and song, Aja, it made me wonder if you had ever reacted to the Prog Rock supergroup "Asia," from the early '80s, particularly songs from their first two albums, and I realized you had NO reactions to any of their best songs. Asia was founded by Steve Howe and Geoff Downes of Yes, Carl Palmer from ELP, and John Wetton of King Crimson. "Heat of the Moment" "Only Time Will Tell" and "Sole Survivor" are their biggest songs, from the biggest-selling album of 1982, their self-titled "Asia" album. I think you'll love their Pop flavored, yet hard driving, Progressive Rock songs. ❤✌
This is the only one I've done from them czcams.com/video/-X_XPtylMyw/video.html
@@L33Reacts cool. I thought you had reacted to Asia, so I looked it up on CZcams, but it didn't come up, so that's why I left the previous comment.
"Only Time Will Tell" and "Sole Survivor" are even better than Heat of the Moment, IMHO.
Anyway, thanks for the reply
As for Steely Dan My Brother, I can't express enough how Donald Fagen, changed the landscape of music, yes bro it was Fagen who wrote and arranged the music, he would practice for days with the best musicians if you got that call, you'd drop and fly to LA same thing when NY became the music center and to this day only Fagen now that Walter has past knows exactly who and what piece of Frankenstein (song) you're on. Walter was not (Paul to Lennon,) he was more like (George to Lennon,) if you know what I mean, other than that, it'll make sense to you later. Fagen has issues, one was being front and center of an audience some call it stage fright, he even found a dude that sang in his style and coached him, if you didn't know this you'd never tell it wasn't him singing lead and only on 2 tunes I think on 1st LP your reactions are on point just lack of details it is a lot of work to find the music connections form musicians to sound engineers, you are basically a DJ, not then YOYO clowns that scratch and turn knobs, an old school DJ was the dude you knew played good music without the interruptions that kill the mood then hit us the facts of their opinion like I said you are on point with your feel for the interments and vocals. Steely Dan had 9 LPs from 1972 to 2003 Fagen recorded 4 LPs from 1982 to 2012
please play "Snowbound" the 4th track off Fagen's 2nd LP, or "What I Do" the 3rd track off 3rd LP. Thank You, Drummer, respectfully selbord
Such a good solid album. Not Aja, not The Royal Scam. Still really good.
I believe Hey Nineteen was the first single off the album. Some say it was over-produced but IMO it was just better then everything else.
It's about being in his 30s and partying with young college girls and realizing they are clueless to a lot of his life experiences. "That's Aretha Franklin. She don't remember the Queen of Soul." Aretha was in a down period and not onnthe radio. But the Cuervo and "fine Columbian make tonight a wonderful thing." Basically, he knows he shouldn't be with these girls, but he does them anyway.
Please check out " I'm a fool to do your dirty work" the Steely Dan that doesn't sound like them.
I love My Rival and Third World Man off this album
I hope someone requests the reggae influenced, quirky and narrative "Haitian Divorce' by the Dan

Enjoy :)
@@L33Reacts thanks for the repost, I guess i did listen to this cut, but then again i'm not sure what I had for breakfast today. 😆
The song is about an aging hipster bemoaning the fact that he's attracted to nineteen year olds, but they're not interested and they can't relate to him
Try to give a listen to "Don't Take Me Alive"
we forgive you, darlin'.🧡
Skate a little lower now uhh uhh uhh
Hey 19. 19 year old girl having a date with 40ish year old man. He’s ready with tequila and weed. Now listen again
The fine Cokelombian.
Mellow. Cause they were getting older.
Older guy tryna hang with a younger girl
The Cuervo gold
The pine cones come wondering in
Make tonight a more wonderful thing.
The pine cones. Tell me, is that not what Don is singing?
Nope, it's the fine columbian (weed).
WENDEL
FORGIVEN.....
Happy song? It´s a song about growing old, and that´s not very happy.
But Fagen was only 32 at the time which isn't old, but I guess in comparison to a 19 year old
Growing old not very happy? Well, to each their own. I’m happier in my 70’s than I’ve ever been. We grow old or we die!❤
yeah will forgive you but don't do it again because it's steely dan !
you said you don't know what Donald is talking about in the song, because your talking too much
I'm not that big a fan of "FM", maybe because it was commissioned for the movie, doesn't seem as authentic Dan, but what do I know
