Listen to this audio of Soulmarcosa proxy Tom Scharpling apparently arguing with the entire SoulStrut massive about the absolute worthlessness of Steely Dan:

i remember a dvd which accompanied their last ablum, and they were driving around nyc, getting interviewed by models who didn't know them. kinda lame idea, but at one point they were going like "Uptown, baby, Uptown, baby, for the crown baby..."
anyone knows if tariq and peter got problemos for using the black cow?
aah...ok then! That'll explain, why they had such great smiles in the backseat of that car when going "uptown baby"....hmm, don't mess with walter and donald then!!!!
aka Factory-Wrapped Douches???
one of my favourite songs ever!
times are hard
you're afraid to pay the fee
so you find yourself somebody
who can do the job for free
when you need a bit of lovin
cause your man is out of town
that's the time you get me runnin
and you know I'll be around
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
oh yea
I don't wanna do your dirty work
no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
oh yea
light the candle
put the lock upon the door
you've sent the maid home early
like a thousand times before
like the castle in its corner
in a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
and I stay here just the same
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
oh yea
I don't wanna do your dirty work
no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
oh yea
hell yeah, from their first album which is one one of my atf's...me thinks that this group called audiobullies from the UK took a bit from that as well for their new album. but they prolly got enuff money to clear it. and oh yes, steely da are fuckin awesome. and rich somehow...
Marco! Baby! I have been down with the Dan for life, can't stop now!
Not like I am buying their new CDs, but I celebrate 90% of their entire catalog.
Hatt me now.
the name stems from a dildo that was produced in the early 70's as a housewivepleaser....hence the adjective "steely"
From "Can't Buy a Thrill" to "Gaucho" + "The Nightfly" possibly - "The Royal Scam" (but probably not)
"Gaucho" is a straight yay-ed out CLASSIC.
Hell yes, I love "the Nightfly".
buggin'!
haha ..... I said "probably not"..... I need to listen to that one more. My homie was biggin it up the other day.
...or, if you want the truth, the name comes from the name of a steam-powered dildo in the book "Naked Lunch" by William S. Burroughs, which came out in 1959.
A world become one
Of salads and sun
Only a fool would say that
A boy with a plan
A natural man
Wearing a white stetson hat
Unhand that gun begone
There's no one to fire upon
If he's holding it high
He's telling a lie
CHORUS:
I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that
The man in the street
Draggin' his feet
Don't wanna hear the bad news
Imagine your face
There is his place
Standing inside his brown shoes
You do his nine to five
Drag yourself home half alive
And there on the screen
A man with a dream
CHORUS
Anybody on the street
Has murder in his eyes
You feel no pain
And you're younger
Then you realize
CHORUS
My shit.
I 3 Steely Wangs
oops, got me. sorry.
Also a little known fact, back in the day when I was a driver for Kinko's in Minneapolis/St Paul, my CB radio handle was Dr. Wu
Very nice choice. Was all
In the name of my man ****C and on the strength of "Any major dude," which has personal significance, I will retain Pretzel Logic in my LP collection. "The Nightfly," however, I had to let go. I found that album boring, indulgent, and not worth keeping. If I hadn't already taken my copy to the Sally A, I would offer it to anyone who wanted it. The likelihood that it has moved from the shelves of the Sally is low, however, so PM me if you want to dash over there and mint up.

Oh shit! I completely forgot about that one. Hands down, one my favorite song from them.
Dood, are you sure this post wasn't meant for the "Records you regret selling" thread??
Sued indeed -- every last cent of the rappers' share of the profit from "Uptown, Baby" went to Steely Dan (something like $150k or $250k).
I???ll learn to work the saxophone
I???ll play just what I feel
Drink scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call alabama the crimson tide
Call me deacon blues
Wow. Host with the most. Salient points, all. Elevator music + soulless + boring + "jazz-ish" + over-professional.
Sez me: Steely Dan = 1981 + coke + 1979 + more coke.
"Hey - I really heard those sleigh bells"
THANK YOU
