Steely Dan Lyrics

    ------ About the song Do It Again performed by Steely Dan

is what this tune was. Steely Dan and their depictions of characters and situations on the edge. A side of American society that I've never heard anybody portray better. Not to mention rhythmic and harmonic sophistication and gorgeous arrangements.

    ------ About the song Do It Again performed by Steely Dan

had to comment seeing as I am under 30:P love steely dan.
not many have heard of steely dan in norway but i once burned a cd and everyone who heard it commented on how awesome it was. left the cd in a car at work that everyone shares and it stayed in the cdplayer with no complaints for almost a year. even this old guy who don't like music in general commented that it was "ok":D

deacon blues is by far their greatest work.

    ------ About the song Kings performed by Steely Dan

In the final chorus, 'raise up your glass' is repeated three times. The first and second time, the glass is raised to King 'John.' In the third repeat, the phrase changes to 'raise up your glass to good kings all.'

    ------ About the song Snowbound performed by Steely Dan

I've been a huge Steely Dan and Donald Fagen fan for decades. And they've always used the best guitar players/soloists in pop and rock music. But who in the F##K is the guitar player doing the solo on this song?! It's got to be the worst solo in recorded history. It literally sounds like they let a drunken high school student into the studio to record it for them. It's horrendous. But the MORE pressing question is, what producer would have allowed this guy's solo on a Steely Dan production?! I mean, how many people were asleep at the wheel on this one? I just can't figure out how in the world the same artists and production team that gave us Larry Carlton's brilliant solo on "Kid Charlemagne" and Jay Graydon's amazing solo in "Peg," would force us to hear a loser like this one, hacking around the fretboard like it was his first day holding a guitar!

    ------ About the song Babylon Sisters performed by Steely Dan

I think this is one of the band's best songs. It combines elements of jazz, blues, and funk. The drumbeat is particularly nice, and I've been trying to learn it with a lot of success. All in all, this is a great song essential for any fan of Steely Dan, or anyone just getting into it.

    ------ About the song Deacon Blues performed by Steely Dan

I love this song a lot because the lyrics is very meaningful to me. I especially like the part in the chorus,"they got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose." And also deacon meaning ,"a member of the clerical order next below that of a priest" blues.

    ------ About the song Do It Again performed by Steely Dan

Steely Dan should just keep doin it! They use subtle changes in their chord structure that keep a song interesting... under the table, so to speak.... while keeping a steady, very danceable foundation and telling a story that easily grabs everyone.

Do It Again, like Peg, Riki Don't Lose That Number, Home At Last and several others, keeps the Steely Dan way of telling stories very alive.

    ------ About the song Kings performed by Steely Dan

The song is the hope of all the new, young, nubile generations that will bound into the world. All the youth bemoans the treachery of tradition and the politics of the past, but in the ending of youth they discover that things, kings, never really change; they advocate might to defeat evil. As naive youth we tend to advocate diplomacy but the harsh economic determinism that determines the rough shod course of history is inexorable and war is a perpetual reality on this plane of existence. This is a hippie song--a celebration with a satirical, biting message tucked into the middle of it. It is a timeless theme of civilization.
Irony is the well-versed wisdom of the old.
