Brad & Lex
PO BOX 4393
Clearwater, FL 33758
This song is about an older man trying to get into the pants of a younger woman. They can't really relate to each other: she is young and probably giggly and only wants to dance to Disco, he is older, mellower and likes to dance to 60s R&B. He's kind of saying, "It's OK that we're different. We're here together right now. Let's just get nice and toasted on weed and tequila and see where things go..."
Was it weed he had from Columbia, aren't they famous for producing another party favor that was popular when this song came out?
@@bluebird3281 At the time, Columbia was synonymous with weed. Coke came from Peru.
That's exactly how to explanate the song and it's kind of obvious (especially with the words right in front of you) but... You know, Brad's sleepy and Lex is basically 19.
No, that's not nice. Steely Dan are criminally baroque.
Yeah, it’s not that deep.
Pretty much sums it up. Remember seeing this live, Walter Becker would go into this long monologue during the musical interlude, talking about getting home after the show, and smoking some weed while drinking some Cuervo Gold, before launching into bridge’s lyrics "the Cuervo Gold…!" 😅 …rip… 😞
I love Steely Dan. I always thought this was about an older guy who used to be cool (in '67), now dealing with these 19-year old girls who don't know who Aretha Franklin was. But, he's still willing to offer them the Cuervo Gold and fine Columbian...
That’s exactly what this song is about! Allegedly…
Nailed it.
Pretty much, I see this as one of their less cryptic songs....
...and he's enough of a gentleman that he feels a little bad about them having nothing to talk about, but by the end we discover it doesn't bother him all much. Heh
Yup. Middle age dude can’t relate with the 19 year old he’s dating, UNTIL he fills his beak with cocaine and they do Cuervo shots. Boomer’s a perv, basically.
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Deacon Blues", "Aja" and "Josie"!!!!! Musical geniuses!
My old school tops my list
Love Deacon Blues
Yes, Aja is an excellent album.
All great suggestions! "Home At Last" and "Don't Take Me Alive" need to be heard, as well.
It's easier to list their songs that aren't that good. SOOOOOO many great ones...I can put on almost any album and start at track one and not skip any.
When I see Lex smiling at the musical points that make me happy, it's all validated.
I see those moments too and it makes me smile.
So happy you discovered Steely Dan, check out "Dirty Work", "Josie", "Aja", "Deacon's Blues", "FM".
i know this is completely out in left field, but have you seen the mashup called "steely danzig"? dirty work and mother combines pretty well surprisingly.
@@emptybraincase4181 I checked it out, lol. Was that a combination of steely dan's instrumental track with the vocals from the other band with no tweaking of either songs tempo? If it was, that's funny.
"Dirty Work" is a classic... Becker & Fagan were just brilliant together.
Regan Zig--I just remembered a song that I think Lex would enjoy. I.G.Y. by Steely Dan off of the Nightfly album.
@@patriciawright8786 The song "Maxine" off of Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" is probably the most lush recording I've ever heard... 32 digital-track recording awesomeness.
Steely Dan has some of the best engineered music. Ever note perfect
None better!
Describing art or music as "engineered" was seen as highly derogatory in the 1970s, 80s. Now suddenly cool, apparently, at least judging from how Steely dan fans all over RUclips speaks about it.
@@herrbonk3635 There was nothing derogatory about it in the 70’s here in the US, as virtually everyone knew about the Aja album, in particular, and Donald and Walter being sticklers for sound quality! Everyone engineered their songs in the sound room on the mixer! Anyone working at the high-end sound centers talked about the quality of their music with a number of other groups, like Year of the Cat by Al Stewart, Alan Parsons Project and many others!
@@lantose But their sound wasn't even that good. That's some kind of myth. There is a lot of treble distortion on Aja, probably the TIM (transient intermodulation) that plauged many early transistor amplifiers. The first and 1975 albums have so much sound issues that Fagan refused to listen to them for 20 years. Many of the the songs on the 1973 album sounds much better though, for some reason. Ray Browns acoustic bass is very well captured for instance (think it was Razor boy).
They always labored over the projects and would hire different musicians to play the same parts, take after take. I won't fuss about semantics, I get your point. 😎👍
I am a metal head who adores Steely Dan. Proud of it!
Chill Sunday music after a Saturday night of heavy metal
Absolutely.
Me too!🤘🏼
I listen to SO many genres; proud to say if I had to listen to one group/artist for the rest of my life, it would be Steely Dan ❤️
Because it's good. To me it's so good it makes me want to head bang so it's metal anyways.
There are certain bands that make music unlike any other and cannot be replicated. Steely Dan is one of those bands; just all the right ingredients meeting all at the right time to produce the perfect sound. Timeless.
Steely Dan in a different universe than most other groups.
All other groups
Lex's interpretation with the turtleneck leather jacket vibe is perfection.
TIME OUT OF MIND is a sharp curving song that moves along a driving groove with authority. The bonus is the Michael McDonald background vocals. Enjoy.
Kevin Caulder--OH, how about New Frontier?
@@patriciawright8786 I absolutely love NEW FRONTIER. It goes well driving home with nothing in front of you but the open road and the weekend. Relax and drive with no worries. And the animated video is fitting for the 5o's era it describes. And because I am an student and artist. Donald Fagen is on point with his lyrical styling and beautifully jazzy pop culture magic. Simply fantastic.
I worked at a music store in the early '80s, and we used this song to demo PA systems, because it was so amazingly recorded and engineered. We sold a lot of gear with this song.
The Nightfly was one of the best albums of the eighties, every song was amazing. But that was a solo album by Donald Fagan. I think this song was off Gaucho another great Steely Dan album
She is so energetic you gotta smile when she smiles 😮
When you play an album play “AJA” it is simply one of the best albums ever made a masterpiece !
This song could've been released as an instrumental and it would still be a killer jam!
This is a great SD song. You should give a listen to " Dirty Work" one of my favorite SD songs. Love your reactions. Rock On🎶🎵🎶🎼
One of my least favourite.
@@herrbonk3635 Fair enough. But I love the Saxophone and it stands out in Dirty Work. Plus they were singing about Cougars before they got a name. lol ☮️☮️
@@aileenturrietta7553 I love sax too :) But mostly in jazz oriented tunes or solos (as some from SD are).
Can somebody put a list together a list of Lex' quotes? They are so random and amazingly hilarious!
And call them “Lex-isms”
Music Bloopers!
Lex is kind of a mystic. Totally in the moment. Wisdom beyond her years, which at first appear as random visions, but after some consideration, one realizes she's nailed it again. Old soul, Lex is. Brad is the perfect foil, overthrowing everything or dozing off. Love them both. 🙏✌️❤️✌️🙏
Saw them live this year at the Hollywood Bowl…they sounded sooooo good! Try “Reeling in the Years” next!
I was at the show also. It was so good. It was kinda strange in a way that my brother and I are 56 and 58 yrs old and we were some of the youngest people attending the show. But then I had to remember I was about five or six when I first heard Steely Dan and their fan base was already 15 - 20, 25-30 years old at that time in the early '70s. I sometimes forget how old I am and how early I was exposed to music having very young parents and older siblings who were into music.
We couldn't have had a better night at the Bowl to see such a great set of musicians and singers, perfect weather, great crowd amazing set list.
@@13_13k There's plenty of Bands out there that deserve to grow their audience. Unfortunately, only a handful of artists like Bob James, Bobby Caldwell, the Isleys and James Brown really embraced what Hip Hop was doing with their Music. Shrugs
@@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO ---- I'm not trying to dis you, honestly but what does your comment have to do with what I wrote about the age of the crowd at a Steely Dan concert?
Black Cow is one of their best.
Check out “Peg” also. Steely Dan absolutely has a vibe.
they reacted to Peg Jan 19, 2022
They should react to BLACK COW - CAVES OF ALTAMIRA - THE FEZ and all the other albums as well! They could spend the rest of the year and still not get to all of them.
Donald Fagan and Walter Becker (RIP) were perfectionists! Several of their contracted musicians would get frustrated at how many takes on numerous songs, but the pay was great and they ultimately kept playing until the song(s) were basically perfect in Donald and Walter’s opinion!
This was the first song ever to have a fully programmable digital drum machine on it. SD's chief engineer Roy Nichols built it and called it Wendel. He recorded all the drum samples himself, and he helped Donald program the beats in the song, fills and all. This was at least 2 years before the Linn Drum drum machine came out.
This is my getting up in the morning music. Such a cool sound.
Beautiful guitar work by the late Hugh McCracken. Really melodic and suited the track perfectly.
Wonderful Precision and Exquisite Melodic Timing....Go STEELY.
Steely Dan! Smooth sailin'...
Perfect.when you sit in the shade on a sunny day...
It is a special blend of jazz, rock, funk and a touch of Fagen/Becker.
Good album too!
You guys should react to more Steely Dan…
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Aja", "Deacon Blues", "Bodhisattva", "Time Out of Mind", "Any Major Dude Will Tell You", "Hey Nineteen", "Show Biz Kids", "Fire in the Hole", "My Old School", "Dirty Work", "Josie"
🎸🤘
Don't forget My old School
Great list. The thing with Steely Dan is there are no bad songs.
I agree, Time out of mind is what got me into these guys. Then I back tracked to all the older beauties.
In the early 2000s I came home from work before my wife...around 4pm. Every night...BIG btl of wine...making dinner...Steely Dan greatest hits CD, waiting for my wife to come home...530 ish. BEST TIME IN MY LIFE! God I miss those times....
Such a funky cool song. It'll be timeless.
A favorite for rexing at the rink! Rexing - dancing on your skates, super popular back in the day. 😎
The Skate was a popular dance in the mid 60s
Steely Dan - Night by Night! Their funkiest track, very aggressive horn arrangement, killer guitar solo!
Night By Night is now the opening track for their amazing '22 tour, re-engineered while still staying mostly true to the original, especially the horns and killer guitar work that you mention.
Steely Dan were so cooler-than-
cool. Unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of rock, funk, jazz, and cool! Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart only came along once!
Music schools have a class just about the Steely Dan song "Josie". It has the most interesting chords in the opening.
I couldn’t wait to turn 19 and this song stayed on repeat for that entire year…
I played it on every bar juke box that I could find 😅
Wishing I could go back now ✨
HEAVY on FM radio back in 1980. SO Good!
Oh yes!! My favorite band and my favorite song!
The whole of Prezel Logic and Can’t Buy A Thrill albums are brilliant. A must have in everybody’s collection.
He's speaking to 19 year olds who in that time (release year 1980) the band were finding I guess that they had not that much in common anymore. They don't know Aretha Franklin. They're just young and possibly innocent but their frame of cultural reference is much newer than the writer's. Maybe the groupies were staying the same age but time was passing? Never read up on it.
The Cuervo Gold is a good Tequila (especially what was available in those days) and the Fine Colombian is weed, good weed.
The only band that I loved everyone off their songs growing up. There is something in ever one of their songs that gets you hooked. I am a Who fan through and through. By far my favorite band. But if I had too listen too a band all day Steely Dan is the beast. Vast and varied catalogue. Steely Dan Blue Oyster Cult and The Kinks are 3 bands I can put on all day and love ever minute of it.LONG LIVE THE WHO
Lex wearin' an EVH head bandana, a Slayer tee, groovin' to Steely Dan...Who could ask for anything more.
5 seconds into this song and I know I'm listening to well-recorded, amazing musicians. Minimal notes, in the pocket.
The song is about an older guy still courting 19 year olds. He talks about how they have a generation gap. “The Cuervo Gold, the fine columbian” likely refers to booze and cocaine.
Actually I believe the Columbian is weed
The columbian was a reference to weed. Back then, columbian was the very finest.
@@mrsteve3527 yep
Columbian was Primo weed back in the 70's!
@@careym3901 Primo 🤣🤣😉. Haven't heard that used in a while.
To me, this is a true life story. Being in in his mid thirties at a party. Getting hit on by a 19 year old lady. Telling himself no, but saying yes to her.
"Glamor Profession": The glam life of the 70s.
LEX YOU HAVE AN OLD SOUL YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE AND ENJOYING LIFE
"Hey 19 " is a totally Roller Skating song.Was always playing at the Skating Rink.
Check out Steely Dan's "Black Cow", and also FM (No static at all).
Yes! Everyone "young" was roller skating back then. I remember watching a roller skating movie which starred Linda Blair (from The Exorcist) lol.
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz "Deja Vu" (Black Cow Sample) "No Static at All" Sampled by 3rd Bass
I was 17 in 1967 and I understand every word he says, and have for over forty years. I love Steely Dan
when this album came out I was in my twenties, I'd pour me a glass of wine crank it up, and stand on the balcony knowing I was cool!! LOL!!
You guys our the BEST......👍👍
Hey Lex, I love the dew rag on your head. Looks like Eddie Van Halen colors and pattern of his iconic guitar.
What’s this all about.
Your catchphrase.
Cuervo Gold is top shelf Tequila,the fine Colombian is marching powder,sounds like a good night to me.
Back in the late 70’s CG was the only choice. Wouldn’t touch it now 🤢
Columbia in the late 70’s was top shelf pot. I remember both….. 😉
Steely Dan is, or was two college friends, Donald Fagan and Walter Becker(R.I.P.) who loved music and they had clicked and started writing and playing together and it turned out they were such genius writers and musicians that they got a record deal and they hired only the very best of the best studio session musicians and they never formed a band because they would literally use different musicians to play each instrument on each song. They would audition 3 or 4 guitar players just to play the guitar solo in one song finding the one player who caught that vibe and sound they wanted and that person would record his part in that one song and be done. They did this type of recording for 10 years or more and for four or so albums with a lot of big hits but never went on tour or played live anywhere ever. Because they didn't really know how they could pull it off without having two dozen musicians. They finally started touring live in the early 1990s almost 20 years after their first album.
I think I was about six or seven years old when I first heard Steely Dan and Rikki Don't Lose That Number was the song that started me on the journey with their music. They are a band that musicians love and people who appreciate details and writing and musicianship and masterful playing of instruments. My friends thought I was weird because I love this band. I was a metal, punk rock, new wave, funk, and classic rock listener, but I listen to all music if it is good music..
They were such perfectionists with their recording they were known to spend 6 months on one song hiring and recording and firing and rerecording and then doing it again remixing almost to the point of insanity. Some musicians didn't like recording with the two leaders of the group because they were so picky and sometimes difficult to work with. Other times, if the musician had the sound they knew they wanted they would let that person do what came natural instead of trying to get them to play specific notes or with a sound they wanted.
I just saw them in concert in May of this year at the Hollywood Bowl. One of my favorite bands and they were amazing.
These songs are so well produced. So slick, so chill, so nice. Play them a lot.
My favourite Steely Dan song!
Was watching your 50s 60s and noticed alot of what they were requesting was day O it's actually called The Banana Boat Song Day O
As others have said, you gotta do "Josie"! That'll keep you awake , Brad! 😛 The intro to "Josie" is one the most uniquely composed intros in pop-rock music and is discussed in music schools like Berklee, per Rick Beato's channel.
Josie is amazing!!
It amazes me how great this album still sounds , Babylon Sisters is incredible
Yes...definitely one of their best songs.
I think its about a man realizing that he is getting old and partying with girls half his age and smoking premium buds from Columbia
"What are words anyway"? Famous last words... haha
lex is looking particularly good today, love the head piece. I can see how that initial tone at the start of the song has the same effect on her as most all of us. it really gets you. sometimes I've played that initial 3 notes again and again then let the song play
Wow what a feeling that gives you
You guys have the best sound of any reactor.
SMOOTH! The Dan!
Steely is a different flavor, Love it
Espresso after dinner. Or kirschwasser from a shell. There's another cool song about an older man coming to terms with a 19-year-old female. It's by Muddy Waters. "She's Nineteen Years Old". Buddy Guy does it really well.
I've been waiting for this one. : )
"what are words anyway" Lex. These bands were loved around the world. Many couldn't understand English yet they loved the songs, why? Because so many bands wrote with their aim more on the sound of the lyrics rather than meaning. That's why we see great bands playing concerts in other countries with thousands singing the lyrics not understanding the meaning, Lyrics are used phonically, using them much like a musical instrument. That's why most love a great song before we know the words. So Lex, "right on"!
Thank you for sharing this with me
Listen to the album 'Aja,' Cover to cover .one of the greatest albums of all time!!
Definitely a MamaLex bop back in the day. "The Cuervo Gold (Tequila), the fine Colombian (cocaine), make tonight a wonderful thing.." 😆😁
Weed, Colombian Gold
I disagree, the coloumbian is weed, Peruvian woud be cocaine. Probably!
Grew up in the 60’s and 70’s the fine Colombian is weed not cocaine.
@@alzucca Fair enough.
Steely Dan is such a cool chill band. I used to listen to them at the beach in Hawaii with some Corona's or on a Sunday afternoon sippin some single malt. Goucho is a great album to listen through chilling out...
Just a song about the idea that you can't regain your youth and you never understand the generation before you. It's a universal and timeless theme.
Reminds me of when I met my husband. He was 19 and I was 26. We've been married now almost 40 years. We find plenty to talk about and we have a lifetime in common.
"19" was his girlfriend at the time. They had nothing in common, but he said they got along perfectly and just clicked.
If people will stop voting for crappy AC/DC songs, maybe we can get some more Steely Dan on the streams.
Gaucho was the most expensive produced album up to that time and the quality reflects it. Unbelievable tight arrangements and recording quality.
It's about an older guy hooking up with a younger girl. They have nothing in common due to the age gap. She doesn't know who Aretha Franklin is, The Queen of Soul, cause of her youth. Their dance moves are different and they have different interests, but he still wants to be with her.
Older guy younger girl (19) nothing in common, no connection but he still wants to go home with her (slide on down) cause she is beautiful. Drink and smoke will help bridge the gap.
The first time you realize you're not a teenager any more but a grown up .... quite confronting
Your make out mixtape wasn't complete without this tune.
The song is about an older guy hanging out with a young 19 year old girl it's like he's enjoying himself drinking and smoking weed,but knows there in different mental place that can't talk because the age difference they don't understand what each other is talking about.
One of Steely Dan's least obtuse songs, totally upfront and out there, and you guys say what is this about, I don't know?! Come on now!
5:20 -that is a synthesiser kinda simulating the sound of a harmonica.
Amazing how often these lyric video makers misspell words in the lyrics.
It's about a much older man wanting to get together with a 19-year-old girl and the fine Colombian that they're singing about used to be Colombian gold or Colombian red good ganja
This is Friday evening, just got home, having your first drink music ;)
Reminds me of my brother in law who married a 23 year old the summer of his 25th high school reunion. She complained the alums were all her dad's age. "We've got nothing in common, we can't talk at all" indeed!
Definition of "Yacht Rock." (& I LOVE it!) 🥰😍🤩
I’m so old I had this on 8 track.
Old man realizing he's invisible to the younger chicks.
Was there for this one. This song is S-M-O-O-T-H
Love, love, love Steely Dan. they have lots of amazing music. "Deacon Blues" should me next but anything they do is awesome.
Some others here touched on it. We’ve become aging hipsters. We’ve outgrown “cool” but we are struggling to remain relevant in the “relationship pool.” She’s 19. She hasn’t heard what I’ve heard or seen what I’ve seen and it’s clear I’m the “old head.” Let’s try some liquor and weed. I’ll watch you. I can still lust but I know my stock is slipping. “Deacon Blues” covers it similarly. It’s almost a common theme with SD.
My Dad always had Steely Dan and The Eagles tapes in the car to jam to.
React To: The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (2018 Mix / Audio)
and for the Beatles, however, ALWAYS look for deluxe versions on youtube
(because these songs have exceptional quality having been remastered from 2017 onwards)
so you will be better than the other channels
Saw them in Richmond, Virginia, last Friday night. Awesome show. Been waiting forever to see them live.
I'm jealous !
Saw the Dan at an outside venue in June, the drummer was one of the best I'd ever seen. They had phenomenal sound and balance for being an open air performance. The only other group that is even close in outdoor quality of sound and music was the Van Morrison show I saw in May.
Its about an older guy and younger girl…k-she 95 in st.louis is doing a steely dan playoff next couple weeks…also michael mcdonald from st.louis(ferguson) from doobie brothers and solo career, sings background in a ton of steely dans songs… check out time out of mind by these guys!! Your the best✌🏼
I'm at the age where 19yo women just call me sir. LOL
THe channel should be changed to I don't Know at this point.
