They have influenced my taste in music. I have always loved jazz, but when they partnered it with rock...well, the rest is history, as they say. Best. Band. Ever.
Totally agree ..I don't think they ever made a mediocre track. My favourite albums were Countdown to Ecstacy and The Royal Scam. Bye the way ..I have just finished my latest video if you would like to see it. Its called Danny Wilson- I Was Wrong (Dance Video mix). Or you could click on my name above and watch some of the others I have done. There are only a few and they are just done for fun.
Thanks Paul ..I have made quite a few in the same style including two more Steely Dan videos. Glamour Profession and Razor Boys if you are interested . :)
They used to do this sort if thing on the OGWT, using old black and white films. My favourite was Led Zeppelin's Trampled Underfoot where I swear the dancing was in total sync with the music.
Something about this some has the most let go feel of life. “ yeah the world is a terrible place but it is what it is, we must carry on” Idk but working overnight security, walking the halls patrolling nonchalantly doing the best a 9-5 can, in this case overnights, going to school full time, trying to buy a property and be able to afford the common things in this state one inflation, but it is what it is ladies and gentlemen. The show must go on. Fin.
Amazing!!!! First time i've viewed it. Just amazing. I've been a fan of SD for 40 years. probably my favourite SD song and mixed with these clips it was fresh and new and brilliant. Loved every second of it. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. It's verging on genius. Thanks!!!!!
I'm with you, Anthony. This worked so well with Bruno Mars, but it doesn't go well with this song, and Steely Dan is my favorite group too. That's why I started watching this video in the first place. Stopped watching after 3 dance pairs.
Well, it is amazing to me. I’ve watched/listened maybe 20 times and shared with everyone who I think would get it. Some have probably received the link 3 times and assume I’m losing my mind. John Travolta towards the end came out of nowhere. Very well done, and thank you!
@@jayjones2394 Ok ..I will send you two.. here is a another Steely Dan song. ruclips.net/video/6u-UqwLAkzw/видео.html and Joe Jackson.. ruclips.net/video/TTPNSTBuZ0E/видео.html
2024...who is enjoying this gem?
“Imagine” is the song of fools, this was a very tactful way to put John Lennon’s half bake thinking into perspective!
I LOVE how when he says stetson hat, the guy lifts up his hat, love this video. I'm certain it will be running in my mind for weeks
It was only a matter of time. Kudos to Mr. Roberts. The Dan is the most iconic group ever and my favorite. I love, love, love this!
Thank you JoAnne. Glad to know there are people out there who feel as I do about The Dan.

Steely Dan and the Nicholas Brothers in the same video.
Thanks for subscribing primrose . I have used them in a few of my videos. Take a look at my Joe Jackson Steppin' Out video.
More great work, Pete. This track is a perfect example of why I shall always prefer their earlier work.
Thanks again Corp !! I agree..even though this track is from Can't Buy A Thrill ..I think Countdown To Ecstasy is their masterpiece.
Love this, Great choice from Steely Dan's debut album. Their talent and quality shines on this track.
Dance sequences is a clever touch. 👌🏻
Thanks Jimbo 🙂 Never stop loving their music. Timeless .
I used to belong to all The Steely Dan Facebook groups ..but got thrown off ..because some didn't like my videos.
Iv always love the music of Steely dan but this a great idea💡🤔 the music🎶🎵🎸🎹 with the retro🎥🎞 films clips 👏😎👍🏾
Thanks Paul ..I have made quite a few in the same style including two more Steely Dan videos. Glamour Profession and Razor Boys if you are interested . :)

Fantastic.
Thanks Greg :)
Enjoyed it tremendously ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Their response to “Imagine”.

Thanks Scotty . Like you have been a Dan fan for almost 50 years now. No genius here ..just someone inspired by their music. :)
That was amazing. Thanks for posting this!!
Thanks Kurt
I loved it, I'm just a bit worried that thought John Travolta's dancing was the best 😉
That’s Fran Drescher in the background while Travolta dances.
Fun.
Normally I like these videos. This is not one of them. I’m a huge SD fan. But this video does sync well.
Sorry you don't like it .
I'm with you, Anthony. This worked so well with Bruno Mars, but it doesn't go well with this song, and Steely Dan is my favorite group too. That's why I started watching this video in the first place. Stopped watching after 3 dance pairs.
Travolta's head is huge
IMAGINE if you will, John “Jesus” Lennon in his white stetson hat, sermonizing about a united world & no possessions.
Is the song really about John Lennon ? I am not so sure. I loved John and Steely Dan ..so not taking sides !!
The way they treat session musicians I'm not purprised they wrote this anti lennon song.
Only a fool would say that…
Great video choice for a great band 👏🎉👏 l just love it 😊
Nice efin Job - slow clap ... - hard to sync tat stuff on beat
No need to be sarcastic mate !! If you don't like something ..better not to comment.
Not nice .. Especially on my 75th birthday !! 🤥
Wonder if John Lennon would have liked this song? 🤔
How did you do that?
I always loved the song ..and old musicals . Just messed about with it and that was the result.
Well, it is amazing to me. I’ve watched/listened maybe 20 times and shared with everyone who I think would get it. Some have probably received the link 3 times and assume I’m losing my mind. John Travolta towards the end came out of nowhere. Very well done, and thank you!
@@jayjones2394 Thank you Jay ..that is fantastic . I have made a few others of a similar vein if you are interested. But won't force them on you. :)
I’ll look them up, or feel free to share links
@@jayjones2394 Ok ..I will send you two.. here is a another Steely Dan song. ruclips.net/video/6u-UqwLAkzw/видео.html
and Joe Jackson.. ruclips.net/video/TTPNSTBuZ0E/видео.html
What album or CD is this on?
Sorry Greg ..have only just seen your comment. The track is from Can't Buy A Thrill -Steely Dan.
The song is making fun of John Lennon's imagine if you don't believe me look it up
Interesting ! Why would you make it up ?..So I believe you. Thanks for watching !! :)
It sounds like they don't believe in dreaming and envy John Lennon's ability to "Imagine." I like the tune but dislike the lyrics.
Great tune .. great lyrics... not a fan of commie anti -american John Lennon 😢🇺🇸🇮🇱
