Where did our outrageously great musicians go? Their creative musicianship was and is beyond anything we've heard since the 1960's and 1970's. We are so damn lucky to have lived in that period of musical experimentation in the 60s and 70s. A true renaissance of musical ingenuity and something that hasn't been matched or able to measure up to anything that's been heard since, even to the slightest degree.
I like that you added "mostly" I rarely think about the actual meaning of the song. What passes through my mind is that line " the Cuervo gold and some fine Columbian" keeps me listening after all the years. ✌️😄
Not sole, but "Soul Survivors" - It was a group. ("Expressway to your Heart"). Also a tad poignant here. He was his fraternity's stud back in '67 in college, with his choice of young and willing girls. At the time of the song, it's the 80's, he's in his mid-30's but still picking up 19-year-olds with whom he has nothing in common. His latest doesn't even know who Aretha Franklin was. They can't relate through dancing or conversation, but a bottle of good tequila and fine Columbian weed gets them on the same page.
Oh God I'm 61 now but I remember when I was in my 40's .. even thirties there's something about a young women that like older guys... And now I'm an old lion and loving it ....
You're in a FOUL mood? Jump in your Car at Dusk, play this song, roll down a window and just cruise. Stay off the Freeway, and just Cruise. You will feel a whole lot better in about 6 minutes.
Early January 1981, this song was a #1 Pop hit; the "lyric and the melody" has me thinking about a 3-1/2 minute dream of me being under a blue pool of clear water-I got the message later that Summer!!
Donald Fagan; not a "Handsome" Man, but he didn't have to be with chart toppers like this. The sheer amount of Coca-Cola and Gorgeous Young Trim he enjoyed throughout the 70's and 80's into the 90's is only known to other living Legends like him.
"This song is about a 40-something year old man scheming to get a 19 year old girl in the sack, using booze and marijuana to make it happen. It's funny to think of soccer moms all over the country bopping their heads to the beat - unaware of the meaning of the song." - Donald Fagan, Rolling Stone Magazine.
Its kind of open ended with the cuervo gold thing. It could either symbolize his loneliness as he feels detached from that group of people, but it could also be the other one. I wouldnt put it past Steely dan to talk about something like this Lmaooooo
I think he’s assuming too much. The song was popular in roller skating rinks. The lyrics are very suggestive, but assuming “soccer moms” don’t understand the lyrics is a bit naive. A huge assumption about a large group of women tells me he doesn’t have a clue about “soccer moms.”
Any retiree who wants to hook up with a sweet young thing who doesn't remember Aretha needs to keep this song in mind. The only common interests they'll share is fine Columbian, Cuervo Gold and money. When he's broke and gets cut off he'll come to his senses.
Lyrics Way back when in '67 I was the dandy of Gamma Chi Sweet things from Boston So young and willing Moved down to Scarsdale Where the hell am I? Hey, nineteen No, we can't dance together (We can't dance together) No, we can't talk at all Please take me along when you slide on down Hey, nineteen That's 'Retha Franklin She don't remember the Queen of Soul It's hard times befallen The sole survivors She thinks I'm crazy But I'm just growin' old Hey, nineteen No, we got nothin' common No, we can't dance together No, we can't talk at all Please take me along when you slide on down The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing (Say it again) The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing The Cuervo Gold The fine Colombian Make tonight a wonderful thing No, we can't dance together No, we can't talk at all
Listen closely its about an older man and a younger woman how fine she is and although there's a attraction the dont relat in music an comon conversation but bring in some drink and smoke and then things loosen up to a great evening of enjoying each other. Hope this helps. Kept it the explanation to a PG rating.
Ah wishful thinking,my exact sentiments in the 80s when the song came out ,while in service, about a girl named carol m. I was 26 she was 19 , Drank a whole bottle of Chablis and played song over and over again till the dusk ,then went to the bar
Still fair warning to silly old men ... and perhaps as silly old women .. stay away from the young stuff. Read the comments, nobody gets it. Stay AWAY from the young stuff.
Listening today 8/31/22. This song is timeless

Gotta love the Cuervo gold chorus
That's my favorite too 😁
@@Raven-yj5pp mine too. what drug are they talking about?
@@jaytotheell" Cuervo gold "is tequila and the " fine Columbian " is weed.
@@Raven-yj5pp I thought it was cocaine
@@HugsForThugs030 you're probably right... my mind always takes me to weed✌️
Heard this song on the radio today and I haven't heard it in years. Brings back memories.

Music was hijacked by the evil pedo Satanist overlords.
We will return to a world of beauty soon .
Hang on. The ride will be bumpy for a bit!
All the great music stayed in the 60s 70s & 80s
Finally found it 👑👑👑1990👑👑👑,but obsessed wit the 👑👑👑70's and 80's👑👑👑
They missed lyrics, skate a little lower now. This was a huge, and I mean huge hit when I went roller skating back in the days.
Me too
I can't remember how many times we were at the rink when this song was a hit.
Yeah, trying to explain to my adult kids roller skates vs roller blades! LOL
Weird song to play considering the whole “middle-aged man creeps on a 19 year old aspect”
@@wildonionchase3934 he's singing about way back when in 67. I can see what your saying though.
Brings back memories of my childhood days
The Cuervo gold and the fine Columbian just to get along with a sweet nineteen-year-old from Boston.
Cuervo Gold and some fine Colombian sounds wonderful even today. This song has aged well........mostly.
@Evan Hodge Music that ages well is what stays relevant. It appears younger than it actually is, you see?
I like that you added "mostly"
I rarely think about the actual meaning of the song. What passes through my mind is that line " the Cuervo gold and some fine Columbian" keeps me listening after all the years. ✌️😄
LOL..yep..at 80 I still love it..
Had to give up my tequila and caine nights but damn, they're sure nights I miss!!!!
This song always reminds me of the early 80's when I actually had to go out and earn a living. No more screwing off in college.

I was thinking another product of Columbia but not weed. 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much, Steely dan was before my time.My brothers loved it.heard this many times and never had a clue what he was talking about
This was a great skate song! When music was music!
This is a memory of Skating LOVE IT
i remember the greatest combination in the all days.....the cuervo gold & the fine columbian..... say it again, what a lovely song.
Dang..I miss the 70's..roller skating to this and "FM"..
This is a very seductive song, and I like the rhythm to it ( and the lyrics).
Oh God I'm 61 now but I remember when I was in my 40's .. even thirties there's something about a young women that like older guys... And now I'm an old lion and loving it ....
I loved this song, I was going out with a 19 year old at the time, I was 28. The fine Colombian so true back then.
Takes me back to 1981
You're in a FOUL mood?
Jump in your Car at Dusk,
play this song, roll down a window and just cruise.
Stay off the Freeway, and just Cruise.
You will feel a whole lot better in about 6 minutes.
Man, this takes me back!

The soccer mom's WERE the nineteen year old's in the bed!
booze (Cuervo gold) and Coke....(fine Columbian)
@@rgsd1969 fine Columbian is not coke or cocaine as it’s known as. Getting your drugs a bit mixed up there dude!
Muita qualidade! Que instrumental maravilhoso!
From cali❤
Skate A Little Lower was an Avid Lyric but really an Ad-Lib of the instrumental portion of the song.

I always think of "Hey 19" every year on "May 19".
Dis is still betta den all dat hip hop gangbangin sluddy tug music dey play now! 😂😂😂

I herd dat!
Hello-

Ms. Franklin was the the Queen of Soul.
The lyric should read: “soul “ survivor not “sole” survivor. Thank you.
Damn Makes Me Wanna Dance All The Time

Lyrics
Way back when in '67
I was the dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I?
Hey, nineteen
No, we can't dance together (We can't dance together)
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down
Hey, nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growin' old
Hey, nineteen
No, we got nothin' common
No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all
Please take me along when you slide on down
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
(Say it again)
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all
Always loved this song but duh I dont understand whats its about Lmao

There's a lot of space in there to sing the Guervo Gold choros - I do it all the time, even before the choros starts.
I was born in 1967 so I would not fucking know, but the song is cool...
Classic ❤️❤️
What kind of connection would I have with a salmon if I bought it from a supermarket?
Please take me along when you slide on down...lol
