Andy & Alex Hello Gentlemen! Would really love a reaction to “Truckin” the Grateful dead! Lovin’ the reactions!✌️ ☮️
Hey Nineteen!!!!!!
BODHISATTVA! Trust me. Killer guitar solos. Tons of sauce.
.Next 🍄🍄🍄Do it Again
FM
Deacon Blues
Black Friday
If Steely Dan was a band from today, they would STILL be ahead of their time.
Is there any music made today?
Yup! Love this band so much
Great line
100 percent
That wouldn't actually be much of an achievement.
I’m a 61 year old retired music teacher who’s listening to you broaden your horizons. At 3 in the morning yet!
Your open-mindedness, earnest attempts at listening deeply, curiosity, and enthusiasm all warm my heart. I would’ve loved having you in my classes, for my sake too! Your joy is infectious. Thank you for having fun and being authentically you here.
Excellent comment and so true.
Definitely the best music reaction duo.
Can they drink whiskey in class?
I'm 60 yrs old I traded for this 45 record in the 8th grade music class.Think I traded cover of the rolling stone for it LOL.
@@blackfender100 I'm 59 and remember hearing reports direct from Woodstock live as a child. Also the hype around the release of The White Album! Rock on.
I'm over 50 years old, and I'm not gonna lie guys: Nothing gives me greater pleasure and satisfaction than seeing you boys experience the sophistication of the timeless, perfectly orchestrated tunes that are the magic of Steely Dan.
I would not render this elevator music, even "classy" elevator music. Rather, as you said, it would suit someone sitting in an upscale lounge, glass of fine spirits in hand, celebrating an accomplishment or contemplating a fantastic future endeavor. Cheers, gentlemen!!!
Oh, try "My Old School" next, for something really uplifting!
Deacon Blues, we've all wanted to drink scotch whiskey all night long, learn to work the saxophone... and die behind the wheel
I'm 56 and I'd gladly play this in an upscale lounge or an elevator.
Technicians of their craft. No question.
In my generation music separated our parents from us, it's so gratifying to see these young guys grooving on the fabulous music of the 60s and 70s, our music, and how great it is. Music is something that actually ties my grandkids and me together.
Yes, Steely Dan sets a groove and they stay in it. It's about flow. This is frustrating to some.
I'm a musician and let me tell you....Steely Dan are musician's musicians. Everything is tight and done to perfection........thanks boyz, hanging with you rocks!
@Rodzilla you are correct sir...
I dont think they were better musicians than Gentle Giant I`m afraid mate.There were no musicians better than them.Give them a try.70`s though lol
@@KT123Caton will do...be well
@Rodzilla This album still had the original 'band' for the most part. New drummer(s), but not the revolving cast of studio musicians on later releases.
@@KT123Caton Absolutely! Apples and oranges stylistically but I love them both. Have AnA reacted to GG yet?
Dudes, I am 75, and so appreciate your take on music of my day. I met Elliot Randall in a pool in Aruba, and told him that I bought the single of “Reelin’ In The Years” because of the guitar work. He invited me and my wife to an SNL after-party where he was the band-leader at the time! I have been blessed meeting him, and having been a founding member of Blue Oyster Cult.
How does their music just get better and better with age? Timeless and classy, always
I think that Steely Dan is best played while driving late at night, just cruising the city.
Dawn Young, I spent countless hours cruising in my old Saab driving around at night listening to Steely Dan in the ‘70s. 😊
Smoking a joint, playing it on vinyl, sitting on a rug, barefoot in front of a good stereo system but with good headphones on.
Top down on the convertible and cruising to Steely Dan on a summer's night....one of my best memories.
Particularly "Midnight Cruiser "
That's what I've said before, too. It's like [cruising around the swank night club scene, late night, in a white limo with some party girls, checking out the action], music.
About time for more SD. Now! How about "Kid Charlemagne", "Black Cow", "Deacon Blues". You fellas are really just scratching the SD surface. This band has another 20+ "A" songs in their catalog. Americas greatest band.
"Drink your big Black Cow and get outta here"
All three are great.... Time out of Mind and Aja should be added to the list, though. Let's get together and dissuade them from doing "Do it Again" before any of these.
Black Cow!!!!!
Definitely Kid Charlamagne or Don't Take me Alive, anything by The Dan is just Sonic sophistication!
FM is another SD classic.
I heard this song for the first time when I was 13. Immediately knew it was golden. That's how great Steely Dan is
ditto
..I’m 72 and own everything The Dan has ever done in pretty much all formats. Their music all the way back to Can’t Buy a Thrill never sounds dated...always current, always relevant. They are unquestionably my favorite band of all time..love seeing youngsters discovering just how amazing their music truly is..
“Do it again”. Put the headphones on, push play, close your eyes and drift away.
yep. the imagery of an older guy getting used by the wild younger chick is deep.
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Oh yeah. That electric sitar solo.by itself is enough for me
Smoke a couple doobies
FM (No Static at All), long version has great guitar and sax solos.
Any major dude will tell you, "Any Major Dude Will Tell You."
THAT is a great Dan song...like so many
Feh. Only A Fool Would Say That ;)
finally someone else said it! thank you! i been saying this every time they've done an SD song.
Let's hope with that comment you've made a major breakthrough.
58 major dudes agree
I’m a huge Steely Dan’s fan but this song is for me in my opinion, their best! Every time I listen to the song and it’s a lot it just makes me happy. This is such an amazing freaking song, musically, and lyrically.
"Last glass of whiskey" sounds like an awesome title for a blues song
Dudes this is a great song but i'll say it again. The Dan-My Old School.
Great guitar solo on that
Yep, what he said
The guitar in that will blow their minds.
Steely Dan is the kind of music you'll listen to for the rest of your life. It's timeless.
The piano bass line in the intro is borrowed from a famous jazz tune called Song for My Father, which was a hit when it came out in the mid 60s. Donald Fagen would have known this tune because he was so schooled in jazz. Steely Dan is, in a sense, rock music in the chordal language of jazz. If you guys want to check out some great jazz then definitely check out Song For My Father. Horace Silver was one of the greats of jazz. I second those who say do My Old School next.
yes, but thats a pretty basic bass line. i like where they took the basic idea to.
Peaceful Music Yeah it’s basic but creative enough that its source stands out, especially because it’s used as an intro, just like in Song For My Father, and in both songs it repeats later on and sets the rhythm for most of both songs. A lot like you know right away that Vanilla Ice got his Ice Ice Baby base line intro from Queen. Basic but very memorable with an undeniable source, repeats later on and sets the rhythm for both of them.
"Steely Dan is...rock music in the chordal language of jazz." Spot on.
You are absolutely spot on!
Donald Fagan later apologized to Horace Silver for stealing part of this from his composition.
46 years ago, I would pop this 8 track in, while driving my 67 GTO. Listen to it stoned while driving down the roads in Virginia.
Same here. '69 GTO Judge. Classic times.
I was doing the same thing except driving around Dallas in my 65 Ford Galaxy.
I knew a guy with a GTO. His name was Glen Thomas Owens. He always told chicks that he had the car custom made with his initials on it.
Hi from Virginia.
@@gregsteele806 Hello. I live in Arizona now. However I visit Virginia, as I have a lot of relatives there. Riding motorcycles now and Jeeping it in the mountains. Cheers!!!
When I was a kid walking through Target with my mom, this sounded likely 'easy listening' elevator music too. Didn't take much longer to recognize how brilliant this is in every way.
Reelin' in the Years has everything I love about music in it. Gotta be my favorite. Looking forward to Do It Again whenever it comes around.
Yeah, Do It Again is far more engaging than this. Which reminds me, there's a great Kinks song called Do It Again.
@@CCDzine the Beach Boys also have a good song called Do it Again
Those are 2 of my favorites!
A must listen for them
@@alrivers2297 Covered by Wall of Voodoo, the electronic version.
Alex you've just discovered that your favorite Steely Dan song is the one you just heard
"Deacon Blues"........AWESOME TUNE
Every time Donald Fagan sings "but if you have a change of heart" I love the increasing reactions by the guy on the right. Every time. Perfect. Such a great lyric.
Andy: They never slack or go cheap on the guitar work or tone, dude.
Alex: That solo, I don't even know what you're doing.
Kid Charlemagne: Hold my beer
One of my favourites. Gives me shivers. Every. Single. Time
The guitar solo is frigging amazing
The beginning of the song is Thrilling because it lets you know a Classic Rock Song is on the Way. And they left it out! Still I love to see the Boys have the same Sensation we had when we heard it for the first time in 1974.
I call Steely Dan songs "python songs"... they envolve you, wrap you slowly and before you realize you are trapped and can't escape. Just let the music engulf you!
Excellent selection, guys. "Do It Again" is another good choice and I am sure you will enjoy it. It's a little bit different of a sound than what you have heard from them so far, but it still has the same great vocals and outstanding musicianship. After that I would suggest "Deacon Blues" (my personal favorite) and "Kid Charlemagne". Stay safe!
Guys Steely Dan were a big light in the fad driven music world of the 70's and 80's. You must listen to Kid Charlemagne and Don't take me alive,King of the World, Aja (the drums Mr Gadd) I am so pleased to see you guys realising how superior they were.
Kid charlemane about stanley owsley getting busted w car full of dose " is there gas in the car"
Steely Dan was once described by a critic as--there is nothing stranger but likely nothing better. From Day 1 thru Aja, the guys nailed it and just created music to listen to. I would recommend Your Gold Teeth from Countdown to Ecstacy (not to be confused with Your Gold Teeth 11). One of the coolest songs I think Steely Dan did.
Got to do ‘Kid Charlemagne’, lyrics are awesome.
Kid Charlemagne or Deacon Blues - kan’t miss klassics!
Don't Take Me Alive, from The Royal Scam album. Trust me. The intro alone is worth the price of admission.
The only word I can use for steely dan is “Class! “.
If you want to explore more Steely Dan, I would recommend the "Aja" album (the entire thing). It is know as one of the best mixed productions.
Aja. Yes. Yes. YES. 👍🏻🎧🎼🥃🎤😎
Aja the title track might be my favourite Steely Dan song. The lyrics and music are spot on. The duet of Steve Gadd on drums with Wayne Shorter is so good. Breathtaking actually.
Rikki was a woman Walter had a crush on. It wasn't sending a joint to himself. He's stated this in interviews before.
Rikki was Rikki Ducornet, Donald Fagen had a crush on her not Becker.
I always heard that it was written for Rikki Lee Jones, the singer.
@@kevinsmith7041 Google Rikki Ducornet.
I thought it was Ricky Scaggs they were singing about; having, allegedly, asked him to join them and he said no. I could be entirely wrong tho, I am willing to say, upfront, that I could be. Tho now Rikki Lee Jones name has been thrown into the ring, I wouldn't rule that out as apparently to know her was to love her...and then write songs about her.
Love from Isolation Island which is not at all splendid and the cabin fever is starting to take a hold of all of us...
N.B. Warren Zeavon, please?
Is Rikki short for the girl’s name Erica??
Loving your Steely Dan reactions. Kid Charlemagne, Deacon Blues, My Old School and Hey Nineteen.🎶✌️
They keep doing all the "pop" Steely Dan. I'm really looking forward to when they hear the art-house stuff by Steely Dan (like Deacon Blues, Aja, Time out of Mind).
Check out the royal scam , don’t take me alive , hey 19 , my old school !
Don't Take Me Alive. The guitar solo is one of the greatest starts to a song EVER.
Great selections.
Not to mention the title track
I feel so lucky to have grown up with the music of the 60s & 70s.There was always amazing new bands popping up that had their own unique sound and style. Good to see you guys enjoying it !
I'm a 67 year old dude who grew up with Steely Dan (amongst many others). It's gratifying to see two young guys blowing their, proverbial load over music I blew much the same thing over, some 40 - 50 years ago. Love your work.
P.S. Try Pretzel Logic title track of their 3rd album. Black Friday from Katy Lied and, my personal favourite, Black Cow from Aja.
“Haitian Divorce”, “Black Cow”, “Aja” and “Show biz Kids” are great and unique songs!!!!
I hope the play black cow that’s a great song
"Night By Night"
Don’t Take Me Alive, because the guitar intro is phenomenal and the lyrics are great too.
My high school teacher one day was talking about insanity. He asked our class if we had ever heard Don’t Take Me Alive by Steely Dan. Instructed us to listen to the guitar solo to understand insanity.
That's an awesome cut
“Dirty Work”. Different lead singer, but a simply great song.
I love that song!
Many overlook it because of different lead singer, but I think it’s great.
It's also one of the more unique sounds for SD. I believe the song made it on the country charts back then -
i wish donald had sung it, though.
Hey there. Back in the day we called the music "Lite rock" and I loved them all. I really miss those days.
I keep watching your Steely Dan reactions. They’re priceless. If you dove into each album, you could spend a month or two doing their songs. Keep it up.
If you like Steely Dan, you probably would also like the Alan Parsons Project. I see a lot of parallels between the two; SD a little more jazzy sound, APP a little more towards progressive rock sound.
The Alan Parsons project we’re so good , a couple of the guys out of Pilot joined up with them, you remember them , they had a hit with” oh oh oh it’s magic”
Alan Parsons project , that’s a great call.👍
Speaking of jazz, listen to the opening bars of Horace Silver's Song For My Father. I presume Steely Dan did.
Yes, 'I Robot'. Crazy song!!!
@@bradleybyrne7691 The Alan Parsons project, like Steely Dan, was primarily the work of 2 core musicians (Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson) who brought in a wide variety of studio musicians to help record most of their songs. Similar to the roles played by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.
@@elig.3075 the entire "I Robot" album is a masterpiece.
I've listened to music since the 1960s, and after watching you two for months I think I know the perfect song for the both of you to audition:
FRANKENSTEIN by The Edgar Winter Group. There must be a lot of requests for it. You will come away stunned with the BIGGEST smiles. Someday, guys...
The Winter Bros. are a must!
I've been suggesting Frankenstein for quite a while. I'm confident they'll get to it.(sooner or later)🤟⚡🔥
I've been suggesting it from almost the beginning when it was just Andy.
P.S. recommend STUDIO version. The live ones are good but aren't as great.
YES! Another Steely Dan reaction. I look pretty much every day for new SD reactions, glad you guys hit them again because you guys can appreciate the sophistication of their music, the layers, the fine production. There's hardly a bad song in their entire catalog. Try 'Babylon Sisters' or 'Bodhisattva' or 'FM' or 'Jodie' next.
I am 57 y/o and it is awesome to watch you guys absorb the awesomeness of these songs, Your reaction, the impact of these songs are deep, you guys need to keep this going, So Cool!
Do It Again, My Old School and Black Friday. Even when you listen to some of Steely Dans deep tracks you’re bound to find some hidden gems. Such talents. Keep it up boys.
One talent that isn't mention as often as it should be is the pianist on this song, Michael Omartian. He is probably known more as an arranger and producer, but he was a hell of a pianist In an interview with Rick Beato, Steve Lukather, brilliant session guy and guitarist from Toto, was talking about session guys who could walk in cold and get songs in one take. He said Omartian could walk in and sightread a Donald Fagen score in one attempt.
Kid Charlemagne, seriously, Kid Charlemagne.
Yup!
Name any other song about Owsley Stanley, the California Acid Cook who "crossed a diamond with a pearl" which also
Includes Larry Carlton's guitar solo; nearly steals the show.
Never gets old.
More Steely Dan: The Caves of Altamira!
I heard this brand new Steely Dan song at an Eagles concert playing before the show started. Joe Walsh made his début as an Eagles band member at that concert...but back to Steely Dan... On those huge concert speakers...to hear Caves of Altamira ring out was spine chillingly good. Later that night I went straight to Tower Records where their newly released album had just been put on sale. To this day one of my personal favorites.
One of my faves in terms of horn work
Altamira is awesome. Give it a try.
You guys need to check out the band "Supertramp." Start with "Bloody Well Right"
No thats the girly boy wanna be channel down the hall
Fools Overture from Supertramp. 10 minutes of aural bliss. Also School.
DENVEROUTDOORMAN Oh you’re so fucking butch.
you need to be real careful around Supertramp tour like the eagles and the Beatles are big-time blockers..
Agree. Crime of the Century the album and song.
Watching you guys discovering and getting blown away by Steely Dan is a joy to my heart. I bought this on vinyl when it dame out and have been playing it ever since. I'm seventy now and it's never faded in beauty and interest. You'll be doing the same as me now. It'll be with you all your days.. Thank you for vindicating my musical taste when I was your age. I'm so glad you love this. I want it never to be forgotten. Treasured memories.
You guys are missing, U2 “Sunday Bloody Sunday” from the album Under a blood red sky.
For your own entertainment you should watch
The official live video Vevo,, Bono and his band
Are in their prime and this really rocks!!!
There is no band like Steely Dan. Cerebral music at its finest. I know you have gotten a lot of recommendations, but one of my favorite SD songs is "My Old School" off of the Countdown to Ecstasy album. Keep up the good work.
"Pretzel Logic" off the same album or "Aja" the song or any and everything off of that album.
Love, love, love Steely Dan!
Check out the Album "Countdown to Ectasy"- Bodhisattva, The Boston Rag, Your Gold Teeth, My Old School and my favorite King of the World.
My favourite Steely Dan album.
Steely Dan are the kings of sophisticated sleeze. Every hair on your body stands to attention when you hear them. The Alive In America album is one of my 10 desert island albums. Outstanding. Love your channel, lads.
"they never slack or go cheap on the guitar work, and TONE!" What a great statement!!!
I know there’s like 50 other comments requesting Kid Charlemagne and Black Cow and literally any other Steely Dan song, but pleeeease react to Kid Charlemagne and Black Cow and Deacon Blues etc!!
Wonder how many thousands of people across the world sang along to that chorus?
For me... Do It Again next.
The Royal Scam album...period. Perfection. The title song first.
Can't do enough Steely Dan... Please keep it up.
I always heard Steely Dan described as the band that great bans kick back and listen to after they've performed.
Guys, there are sooo many frickin' classic Steely Dan songs. Having listened to 3 is not even scratching the surface. Do It Again is an obvious great choice...but i'd also suggest Black Cow, Aja, Dr Wu, Bodhisattva among many many otheres... take your pick and enjoy the ride! Liked your review.
AGREE .....ALL OF IT WHAT YOU SAID
Shout out to "Here at the Western World!" Some of us love that song....
Aw, man, I'm 60 and this was one of the soundtrack tunes to my teen years into my twenties. "S" tier for this old fart. You guys keep doing this...and there's a bunch of great suggestions below, but Don't Take Me Alive is one of the only songs I know of that has the guitar solo at the beginning. Then incredibly tasty fills after. And, same album, "The Royal Scam" has, as mentioned by lots of good folks below, Kid Charlemagne.
If you liked the guitar solo here, you'll love it from Kid Charlemagne. One of the best. And then listen to Aja. Really awesome drums in that one.
Aja is SO SO GOOD
Of all the Steely Dan songs I'm hoping these kids check out, Aja tops the list. It's just so unlike anything else. My personal favorite piece of music, and even I'll admit it's not for everyone, but it's something every musician should try. Steve Gadd did only two takes on the drums, BTW. Amazing.
I grew up listening to Steely Dan, I'm a 70's child and Steely Dan was a staple in my home. While I love all of their music, till this day, this is still my favorite song. Such a jam! this band is amazing, the musicality, the lyrics, everything!
Master Class Musicians for all Generations to enjoy forever! I waa just a grade schooler when this song came out but I got it even then!!
Gotta love the Dan. They have so many great songs in many different styles. Song suggestions, Hey nineteen, pretzel logic, deacon blues
Alex, thank you so much for talking about dynamic range in drumming. (One of the best at that is Bill Bruford, of Yes and later of King Crimson.)
The bass riff at the beginning is taken straight from a famous jazz song called Song For My Father by Horace Silver. I mean it’s completely unmistakeable, and so blatant as to be impossible to be accidental. There’s nothing sneaky about it because any jazz aficionado knows the tune.
You’ll find their later material even more sophisticated and still with great production. Much harder to follow harmonically but that won’t bother you. Kid Charlemagne, My Old School, Dr. Wu.
I grew up listening to Steely Dan and so many other great bands from the 60’s and 70’s. I was in high school in the mid 2000’s and my classmates made fun of me for listening to this epic music! So happy to see there’s other younger guys listening to this music, I’ve been enjoying watching you see the amazing quality of Steely Dan and others!
So you dudes are really getting IT. When Steely Dan is knockin your socks off, you are becoming a music aficionado. Kudos! OH, and lyrically this tune is about a guy attempting to impress a girl by name-dropping Eric Clapton and hinting at his heroin addiction and being aware of Eric’s dealer.. “Ricky don’t loose that number”... early 70’s rock ethos.
Their first big hit 🎶🎶 I'm really looking forward to this reaction A&A🎶🎶🎤🎤
It's still one of their more "pop" songs. I'm really looking forward to them listening to the artistic side of Steely Dan, like Aja, or Time out of Mind, or even Deacon Blues or Bablylon Sisters.
Wasn't "Reeling in the Years" their first big hit?
Dang, I haven't heard this song in forever. I forgot all about it. What a flashback! Thanks guys. Keep rockin' 🤘😎🥃
hey me too. I am so very happy to see these young guys reactions to super quality music. SD are practically in a class of their own. SO many great tracks for these two to enjoy. Key music from my own twenties. If you LOVE SD then I want to shout out listen to Snarky Puppy......
You literally have the best hobby/job in the world. You two were lucky to have been born just too late to hear these songs until now and what a gem that is, huh? You get to hear these songs almost exactly the way we did, when they first came out. Like they are unknown and new......again. ELO???? I heard you say elevated.....they certainly are
Sitting on a beach in Ocean City, MD in 1974 with my parents. My Dad had brought his Panasonic battery powered "boombox" and this was on. Such an awesome memory of a great song by a great band.
Glad you got to it. Do it again for a different very cool vibe, hey 19 for super production and ultra smooth classy vibe, kid Charlemagne, for more high level soloing, my old school radio banger.
I'm jumping on the My Old School suggestion train.
In no particular order... Kid Charlemagne, My Old School, Don’t Take Me Alive, Do It Again, I Got The News, Show Biz Kids, Black Friday, FM, all tracks off the Aja album. Pretty much any song they’ve recorded, you’ll hear some of the greatest writing and session players ever, even their so called ‘minor works’ have merit.
The RUSH of jazzy, funky N.Y./LA Rock n Roll. I learned technical nuance as a young bass player listening to these bands. Love them both.
You, Andy&Alex, are definitely musical purists. Keep it up, you’ll hit 1,000,000 subs in no time, especially with us old jammers, hope I live to see it. We’re still here, but the herd is thinning. I watch you’re reactions and comments ever friggin’ day/night, sometimes over and over. Thank You!
@koma sregor
Hey man thank you for the kind words!! We truly have a lot of fun doing this with you guys, cheers friend!! 🤟🏻🔥😁
Tight, crisp, complex. Everything Steely Dan does is perfect. Productions were always precise. I have one playlist. Except for greatest hits album, my playlist has every SD song from every album in it. I JUST HIT SHUFFLE!
Its just such a beautifully well designed song
Try Babylon Sisters. Very different style and interesting backing vocals.
Another great one... I'd put it on a list of Deacon Blues, Kid Charlemagne, Aja, My Old School, and Time out of Mind.
I'd put FM on that list too!
Yes! Outstanding song!
Kid Charlemagne or Bodhisattva next, please gentlemen!
This is a masterpiece and an S-tier song.
Dynamics, arrangement, lyrics, performance the way it sets a mood.
Also their first hit. Amazing song.
Ok Real me by the Who please
Not their first.
Sorry what is their first hit?
Do It Again (1972) was their first big radio song hit I think, then Reelin In The Years.
This is my fav Steely Dan song "You Don't Wanna Call Nobody Else" the tone there gives me chills xD
This was all over the radio in the Summer of 1974. I was 12! Steely Dan is polished perfection. I'm sure you've figured that out!
Steely Dan ... The Duke Ellington of Pop !
by the way, now that you've unlocked the Steely Dan treasure-chest, oh-oh, you only have about 50 more masterpieces to go .........
Steely Dan . Very tight band. Every thing flowed, just great getting high back in the day music . How could we not love it .
Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. One of my FAVE solos ever!
Still eagerly awaiting "My Old School." That one's kickass.
Let's not be impatient Young Lady.
Give these young boys time :)
I think kid charlemagne. If you're looking for a new band how about The Moody Blues I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band or Question
"Hype elevator music in the best way" might be my favorite Steely Dan description ever. Props.
Congratulations on 50K subscribers!!! I am only surprised that number is so low! There's something so satisfying about watching people you like enjoying their first experiencing of my old favorites. Thank you guys so much for continuing to crank out high quality quarantine content!!!
Reeling in the Years is Steely Dan's banger song...and one of their best. They have so many great songs to choose from.
You can’t not smile when you hear them grooving like that....
Just for the record... I understand and appreciate your comments... just want you to know this: as a classically trained piano and guitarist, and a fan of all music, I'll take this one with me anywhere/shortlisted. It never gets old. Just a fine composition... "in the best way..." thanks for the reaction.
Pretzel logic on my dad’s 8track player as kid in 70s.... sweet memories
