Bro! That album that this song is on is regarded as the most perfect studio recorded album ever. A record with almost every song a banger. A perfect mixture of rock, jazz, r and b, and God knows what else. I was introduced in the early 80’s and it warms my heart to see new generations introduced to this iconic band.
Welcome to the world and rabbit hole that is Steely Dan. The reason you recognize the groove is because it was stolen by quite a few rappers. When you listen to Steely Dan you should have the lyrics handy. Even the way they came upon their name is clever. So, let's start at the top. What is a Black Cow? It's basically a root beer float using Kahlua. The adult version however uses bourbon. Rudy's (Bar and Grill) still exists here in NYC on 9th ave between 44th and 45th. Then and now it is essentially a dive bar. In the 70's 42nd St was a hub for pro's and johns, and Rudy's was often where pro's, musicians, artists, and actors would mingle. On the bar when he sees her are her remedies (alcohol and drugs), and her book of numbers, so she was more a high priced pro. The pros also strolled from 26th and 11th ave to the Javits Center on 34th and 11th Ave down to 42nd, down to 7th Ave. There were many on the east side on Greene St from Houston to Spring St as well. He is a man who was hopelessly in love with a prostitute that cannot change her ways, and his many attempts to change her have proven fruitless. This is now perhaps his goodbye to her. My favorites by them are "Kid Charlemagne", "Aja", "Deacon Blues", the entire "Aja" album, "Hey Nineteen", "Peg", “The Fez”, “Green Earrings”, "Do It Again", "Reelin' In The Years", "Babylon Sisters", "Dirty Work", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Don't Take Me Alive", "My Old School", "Any Major Dude Will Tell You", and "Doctor WU. There are more because there's really no bad Steely Dan song. Try "Peg" next and go from there.
The producers didn't clear the sample before the song was released. Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz never made a dime off their song...that's why they're one hit wonders. Steely Dan get all the money everytime their song is played😑
@@peterreist2882 They had a FEW songs that kinda sucked... lets be honest. 🤣💯 But those happened in the 80's and 90's when they were just trading off their past and phoning the shit in. STEELY DAN?! THE REAL SHIT?! I can't imagine a single human on the planet that can talk shit. 💯
Rudy's Bar& Grill is in NYC. When I first heard it mentioned in the album I was wondering if it was this bar, but the picture shown on your video confirms that it was. There's a whole slew of restaurants in the area where the bar is located.I saw it once bc the pig standing outside it drew my attention.
My mother was from the south. She loved black cows, but what she referred to as a black cow was simply vanilla ice cream in coca cola rather than root beer.
Man, I'm sorry but this was just a horrible reaction. You had no comments about the music, I mean "NONE". You made no sense what so ever the entire song.
Steely Dan is a different vibe altogether! That band is tough! Love the sax, they go crazy!
LOVE Steely Dan!! Thanks!
☮️❤️🙏🌎🌏🌍🇺🇸❤️☮️
The whole album is a masterpiece
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunzz “Uptown Baby” sampled this and were sued because they didn’t get permission.

Black Cow is a liquor type drink that resembles a float.

MY FAVORITE STEELY DAN SONG!!

Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz -Deja Vu (Uptown Baby). Banger!
Awesome song. 🔥❤️
That band cannot be touched. 💯
Fagan and Becker as a team with their genius and demand for perfection in the studio put out so much great music. Can’t go wrong.

A black cow is a the with a shot of Kailua or boubon.
Just react to the whole album- the entire thing is a masterpiece, especially the title song Aja and Home at Last

Hersey's,, Rootbeer & the best Vanilla you can afford, OMG so good

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1 of the smoothest girl diss songs
I think a black cow is a root beer float with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla.
It's a Black Cow! (the drink) I believe it has bourbon in it...with root beer and milk?
Rudy’s is in NYC, I believe in the Hells Kitchen district. I think Kanye sampled this. Good choice, all of SD is 🔥
it is indeed in HK!
Hey man, did you do HEY NINETEEN.....?????? right up your alley I believe..LOL
I like your ludicrous histrionics and your prattling maunderings!
Hell’s Kitchen NYC
Beyonce me myself and I Jy T remix.. But a couple of other songs did this as well As a sample
it wasn't reefer
Could you stop the song and comment more. After every sentence and note. That way we can turn this into the Shazam show.
Man, I'm sorry but this was just a horrible reaction. You had no comments about the music, I mean "NONE". You made no sense what so ever the entire song.
