FUN FACT: This song is about addiction in all its forms.

Steely Dan is definitely a rabbit hole you want to dive into. "Aja" (pronounced "Asia") is one of the great albums in music history and absolutely worth a listen from beginning to end.

[shannonbennett]

As an older person, it makes me very happy to see younger people smile while hearing music they've never heard before.
Thank you, I enjoyed it.

[barrypitts]

This song has a groove so wide, you could land a plane on it.

[jameslemons]

One of the greatest bands of the 70's, hit after hit. Had rock on fire. Yes sir!!!

[BuffaloBob-og]

One of the best ever bands to come out of the 70's.
My Mom gave me this song as a kid because I was such a hellion.
It's a song that only gets better with the passing of time.

Steely Dan: Your favorite band’s favorite band.

Hey TNT, Steely Dan were actually 2 people, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who surrounded their selves with the finest studio musicians around to produce a precise, clean sound.

[bobbower]

I love both of your personalties... ..so engaging. Wonderful to listen and see your reaction. Tasteful, intelligent commentary.

[wreckingKREW]

The guitar solo is actually Denny Dias playing an electric sitar and the organ solo is played by Donald Fagen on some cheap piece of garbage organ he found in a thrift store, but it produced the sound he was going for. Fagen and Walter Becker were maniacal about every note being exactly what they wanted.

[realbser]

Steely Dan is their own genre. You’ll see that as you dive more into their catalog of music. Their sound developed into a more funky, jazzy sound as they released each album. The best studio musicians were hired to work on each song on each album. Their grooves have been sampled literally hundreds of times. You’ll recognize their song Black Cow immediately which was sampled by Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. I suggest a Steely Dan stream for these rock and roll hall of fame members. ❤️✌️😁

[andrewdavid]

The 70's was the greatest decade for music because of the variety of genres and the incredible artistry from master musicians.

[Summermute]

“Hey Nineteen” and “Black Cow”. Can’t go wrong with Steely Dan. Great reaction. 👍🏻❤️

[biff]

The lyrics to Steely Dan songs are just about subterranean, they're cryptic and dense with meaning. Part of the appeal to many fans (I raise my hand as well).

[alldayadventures]

Man you nailed it... Steely Dan has very cryptic music, and to her point you get lost in the groove so you don't 100% pay attention to the words. Exactly how this song and MOST of their songs can be described. Cryptic, hidden meanings and lost on the melody. Pure Genius.

[covkeeper]

Im 43 born in '81. Steely Dan found me about 2yrs ago. They be prophesying to me!!

[jeffnovack]

Reelin' in the years is the next song chronologically.

[johngardner]

Steely Dan wrote songs about some of the grittier aspects of life. "Do It Again" was about someone whose vices led him to keep on repeating the same mistakes, "Dirty Work" deals with infidelity, "Reeling In The Years" is a reflection on a wild relationship with an unappreciative girl - and these are on the FIRST album!
P.S. "Midnight Cruiser" deals with a couple of guys who are doing a last hurrah on the streets that are different from when they were younger. A very melancholy tune with a smooth jazz sound.

[foxernator]

I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again... So jealous

[kbrewski]

Tasha is so cute moving her shoulders immediately to the groove. 😆

This track, the very first track on the very first album, almost immediately became a HUGE radio hit. How's that for hitting the ground running. This was the original Steely Dan BAND. Fagen and Becker joined forces as songwriters for this preexisting band forned by guitarists Denny Dias and Jeff Skunk Baxter, also included drummer Jim Hodder and vocalist David Palmer. They were a fairly typical rock group circa 1972 and toured from 72>74. Only later did Fagen and Becker want to stop touring and concentrate on their obsession with studio perfection beginning with the Katy Lied album. They wanted to push more in the jazz fusion direction from what started as a more traditional rock band.

So this song has been an iconic and popular Steely Dan hit and favorite and has been played on the radio for 50+ years now. Still as smooth as silk and cool as ever! Only Steely Dan can make a song about a gambling addiction sound so laid back and groovin.
