- "Josie"
We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep on the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home
When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire
Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em all down tonight
We're gonna mix in the street
Strike at the stroke of midnight
Dance on the bones till the girls say when
Pick up what's left by daylight
When Josie comes home
When Josie comes home
So bad
She's the best friend we never had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire
When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire
No way to get over this song, ever.
The glorious 70's will never be beaten for every genre of music.
Those of us who lived it knew it was a the best era.
You said it, man. I was very young, but I was up in it.
Amen. Amen. I'm so glad I grew up during that time.
'70s forever rock! And I was born at the tail end of the decade...'79. I have my mom and dad to thank for turning me onto great music. 👍❤
Johan Staelens You're so right. 😊👍
I may not have been born until the late 90s, but I love the 70s and 80s music more than any other decades
This is my favorite song of theirs. RIP Walter.
I first heard this song wen I was 13 years old even though I was brought up listening to funk it sounded good love this genre
OMG! Great song. Chuck Rainey is a master on bass, and I love James Lee Keltner’s drums.
this group is well versed in excellent musical notes, great musicians!
I could never be half as good as you Walter.
Meraviglioso steel dan.bisogna essere immersi nella musica fino alle orecchie.che ritmo pazzesco.grande
I just could never forget this song and all of the memories which go with it
Sophistication.
"A Steely Dan Bedtime Story"
Once upon a time, there was a king, named Richard, who ruled Mizar. He fell madly in love with his darling, Rose. After a short engagement, they were married by a Deacon in a blue suit. They honeymooned near the caves of Altamira and did it again quite frequently without a fez. Night after night, it was a countdown to ecstasy. Soon, they were home at last, and Rose and King Richard, in the months and years to follow, would have a castle full of show biz kids. Their first kid, a boy, was named Charlemagne. Later, daughters, Josie and Peg, would beautify the castle with their French twists. Rikki, their youngest, was a mathematics prodigy who never lost track of her numbers. The parents were strict with their daughters, but the girls didn't seem to care. The family would vacation by carriage to the sea and when the children got too loud, King Richard would say, "keep it down, just until we get out of town." During their holiday, the family would sit under a banyan tree and watch the sun go down on the crimson tide. They let the children play up on the hill near the black cows. The king, however, had a mistress at this seaside Eldorado resort. When confronted by Rose, Katy lied and said there was nothing to it. Katy was only nineteen at the time. Rose knew the fix was in. Later, Rose told King Richard that she knew of the affair and was planning on a trip to Haiti for a divorce. She said, "I can't cry anymore while you run around." Upon hearing this news, King Richard summoned his therapist, Dr. Wu. After a lengthy discussion about the king's infidelity, Dr. Wu responded, "the things you think are useless I can't understand." Rose, still reelin' from this news demanded, "I want to know everything you did." King Richard confessed to an affair with Katy's sister, Pearl. He defended himself by saying, "it was just a fling with a couple of skinny girls." King Richard hastily had his family return to Castle Bravo, coincidentally, at the changing of the guard. He met with his generals to discuss the expansion of his kingdom to new frontiers. He told them he wanted to be king of the world. Rose, however, took a gift from the king, a pair of green earrings, and threw them in the moat. She realized that she had been royally scammed. King Richard went to Rose's bedroom and told her it would never happen again, but she replied, "after what you've done, only a fool would say that." She gave him the goodbye look before she lit the candle and put a lock upon the door. King Richard, in a rage, threatened harm to their children by drowning them in the moat when he said, "I'll throw back the little ones." At that very moment, there was fire in the hole as the castle came under ambush by battle apples! King Richard became suicidal and thought about taking his life with a gun. His last words were, "Don't Take Me Alive!" The day after the king's demise, Rose had lunch with Gina, her best friend. They drank kirschwasser from a shell. Gina advised Rose to sell her home and move to a place called the Custerdome. The next day, Rose put a sign in front of the castle that read: Everything Must Go.
That Fender Rhodes is so beautiful !😀
Yes
Has to be one of the best driving songs ever.
I find their greatest hits collection, perfect for driving the snow covered areas.
exactly how i felt listening to this on the drive up to santa barbara
banbud684. That's not a drawing hon that's a real live person.😎
Yeah. I used to drive a miniature train around an amusement park, and I would either hear the song in my head or from a small radio I carried with me. What a thrill it would have been to have driven the real thing--about four locomotives pulling set of sixteen stainless steels behind me. OH YEAH!!!!
Oh yeah, and make the locomotives a set of Baldwin Sharknose diesels. Tough, brutish, mighty, along with being hands down, far and away the most beautiful locomotives ever constructed by man.
RIP Walter and thank you♡ One of my favorite songs on my favorite album and band of all time.
i feel so groovy when i listen to this...
Love this song!
A 30 second ad, fortunately the wait is worth it. RIP Walter, so many good hours of listening.
Larry Carlton shining here on guitar....Geez !!!
With relatives who were discussing prayer in Christian music I made a contribution: "she prays like a roman with her eyes on fire". One of them knew what it was and started humming it.
R I P WALTER BECKER LEGEND
Kevin Simmons 😢
Incredible bass line...!
One of the best guitarsolos ever.....
The drum/bass in this tune are just stupidly good, and of course the guitar is doubling the bass a lot of the time which add a nice flavor to it.
BTW, for folks who like this album and would like to know about how it was made, there is a series called "Classic Albums" and one of them is on Aja. Most of them are available on Netflix.
Reminds me of my grade school, HS friend, 1st year college buddy and later friend as a young adult, Alan. In HS (High School), Alan or I should say Alan's daddy bought him a real nice convertible. We used to drive around in it during the hot summer Indiana nights to try and pick up chicks. Yup. When this song came on Alan played it LOUD. Till your ears burst. And he sang to it. After loosing touch for many years I've come to find out some time ago he had died. Brain tumor. Alan, wherever you are, I hope you can meet up with Walter up there and say hello to him for me. I'll join ya one day soon.
I was knew a girl named Josie, back in High School(1991)🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Good Stuff
RIP Walter Becker. 🌷
"Steely Dan Turn Professional Wrestlers"
When the Steely Dan duo decided to cross that fine line from musicians to athletes, they knew things don't turn out like you planned. But after working with their personal trainer, Dr. Wu, they knew they had a case of dynamite. Their first tagteam match was in Barrytown, and the national anthem was sung by Cathy Berberian. Their first opponents were The Expanding Men from Scarsdale. After Donald flung one of his adversaries across the ring, it felt like the Santa Ana winds. He tagged Walter who came in with rage in his eyes. He put his wrestling opponent in a dragon sleeper and told him, "I could hold out here all night." Soon, Donald was back in the ring with his luckless pedestrian and knocked out one of his gold teeth. Donald told him, "You should know how all the pros play the game." Donald's enemy said, "I didn't think you could be so cruel." Donald tagged Walter, and the ringside announcer said of Steely Dan's guitarist, "He shouts; he bites. They wrangle through the night." Brut and charisma poured from the shadow where he stood. Walter stated, "You can try to run, but you can't hide." When the referee called the match in favor of the boys from Bard, one of their wrestling adversaries mumbled, "I guess I'll try my luck again."
I like it 🤙🤙🤙
i was born in nineties but i couldnt agree more Johan !

gotta love it🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
mike reyes only 7 beers for this song? I would think a few more, and a couple joints at least.
Mejor ......Imposible!
Who could actually dislike this, and why? I actually wanna know...
❤
Josie prays like a Roman Catholic with her eyes on fire. Sounds like my first girl friend at St Thomas School. Jamaica Plain,Ma.
you indeed are correct. The actual term "like a roman"--he actually got from the song "like a roman"--which is almost 2,000 years old. It is a song still done by kids about the various phases of the gluttonous romans. It would be impossible for him not to be familiar with the song. And yes blowjob is correct. Also in deliverance "your goin to do some prayin for me boy--and you better pray good"
As a Roman Catholic ( from Italy)..I do approve of this song and lyrics.....
Josie and me have a lot in common just ask my town
"Steely Dan Takes a Road Trip"
Their first stop was Massachusetts because they heard the sweet things from Boston were young and willing. Next, Annandale was on the list even though they vowed never to go back to their old school. But they must have had a change of heart. After that, they went stompin' on the avenue by Radio City. But Donald and Walter didn't spend much time there because Daddy don't live in that New York City no more. Next on the list, the warm breezes of Biscayne Bay were theirs for the taking, and they got to see the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day. Crisscrossing the country, they found themselves back in Vegas with a handle iñ their hand. While there, they saw the show biz kids and all the stars come out at night. They gazed through the glass at ramblers, wild gamblers. Donald and Walter hit California just in time for those Santa Ana winds and, then, headed north for some San Francisco show and tell. They feared going farther north because Donald had already crossed his old man back in Oregon. Walter had gotten married in Vegas but was already talking about a Haitian Divorce. He told her he grabbed a piece of something that he thought was gonna last. He told her to drink her big black cow and get outta here. Now all they wanted to do was hit LA and be home at last.
RIP Walter Becker
"Steely Dan at the Cracker Barrel"
Although they were used to fine dining, the boys were hungry for more than just reggae when they stopped in for some home cookin.' Their waitress said, "How y'all doing," and Donald replied, "I'd like a Piña Colada, my friend." Ruth Ann, their waitress said, "Sorry sir, but we ain't got alcohol at the Cracker Barrel. Would you like sweet tea?" Walter chimed in, "We've got a large sum of money to spend. Nothing stronger than tea?" Donald said, "Just bring us some milk and honey and put it on the table." Walter said, "Ruth Ann, I have a friend in town; he's heard your name." Donald told her, "Make tonight a wonderful thing and bring us some pretzels." She responded, "We ain't got them neither." Walter replied, "Just bring us some food that's kitchen-clean." As they waited on their order, Donald remarked, "Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel." Walter said, "I think she's so fine, so young." Donald responded, "I guess she thinks she's the pride of the neighborhood." He continued, "All I want to do is eat and get out of here." When she came back with their food, she accidentally spilled chicken and dumplings in Donald's lap to which Walter laughed, "She go crazy." On this black Friday, they finished their meal and left a tip on the table, a pair of green earrings.
That's just like 'em. They know how to make with them repartees. God love 'em.

"Steely Dan Goes Grocery Shopping"
They pulled up in their Blazer, at the closest Dean and DeLuca's, after nearly dying behind the wheel in a potential head-on collision. Donald remarked to Walter, "Don't lose the number of that guy's tag." After smoking some chiba-chiba, the boys from Bard had the munchies and wanted to stock up on snacks and libations. Pretzels and beer were first on the list. Once inside, Walter asked the clerk if they had any exotic spirits like retsina. He said, "No, but we have kirschwasser." Donald answered, "I'm in the mood for some Alsatian wine." The clerk retorted, "Did you just move down from Scarsdale?" Donald answered, "Nevermind, but I will need rum to make a zombie and Kahlua, half-and-half and Coca-Cola for a black cow." Walter said, "Don't forget the Chesterfield Kings and the Cuervo Gold!" All the while, they were loading their goodies in a Gladstone Bag. They passed by the Tangueray and shoved a bottle in the bag. They also snagged a Tuesday Weld DVD because it was their favorite foreign movie. Donald shoplifted a small bottle of Perrier in one of his bad sneakers. They proceeded to the counter and laid down their Jacksons to pay. They didn't know the clerk spotted their dirty work. After Donald and Walter left, the clerk told his manager, "In the mornin' we'll go gunnin' for the man who stole our water."
6 people don't like when Josie comes home.
Maybe she turned them down and they got mad.
They're idiots.
I think i met Josie.
"Steely Dan at Disney World"
They parked their car at Pluto, row 27, but had to walk between the raindrops to get to the tram. The speiler told them to lower their head and watch their step as they boarded to which Donald replied, "Walter, don't lose that number or we'll never find the Chrysler." The tram took them to the ticket and transportation center, and when they saw the price for admission, Walter mumbled, "Talk about lost wages." Their first attraction was The Hall of Presidents, and when Donald saw Bill Clinton he said, "Lewinsky sure knew how to give him thirty-five sweet goodbyes." They got their picture taken with Mickey Mouse, and for them, it was like a dream come true when they smiled for the camera. While at Disney, they stayed at the Grand Floridian Resort, and Walter whispered to Donald, "I think the people down the hall know who you are." During their hotel stay, they met Maxine and Pixeleen. They invited the girls back to their room and said, 'kick off your high heel sneakers; it's party time." Donald told the girls, "This is no one night stand. It's a real occasion." Later that day, they took the girls to an Orlando Magic basketball game and told the driver to let them out at 6:05 outside the stadium. After the game, they went to a few bars, and when the girls got so high, it was a cryin' disgrace. Donald and Walter ditched the girls and headed back to their Disney resort to be home at last. While in Central Florida, they toured Gatorland and saw an alligator with a gold tooth. They definitely didn't chase that dragon. Donald and Walter also toured the old Orange County Courthouse where Ted Bundy took one last drag before he approached the stand. The State of Florida strapped ’ole Ted to a chair and filled him full of Chain Lightning! While in the area, they met with family and ate lunch with Cousin Dupree. His Nikes were in bad shape prompting Donald to quip, "Where did you get those shoes?" Having had enough of the mosquitoes, the boys wanted to see the distant lights from across the bay once more. So, they caught a jet at Orlando International Airport but not before Walter could be heard saying, "I want to come back next year and do it again."
"Steely Dan at the Retirement Home"
When Donald and Walter decided to hang it up, the mourners were all singin.' Other fans got word to them that said, "We hear you're leaving, that's okay." Donald asked Walter, "Why did they have to put us in this A-frame?" Walter responded, "I feel like my whole world is falling apart and fading away." Donald said, "I've seen the women here and ain't none of them close to nineteen." Walter moaned, "Let's get a couple of piña coladas surely that will screen out the sorrow." Donald, trying to cheer Walter up said, "Who knows, maybe they've got some cotton candy at this place." Walter replied, "Thanks. But don't forget your appointment tomorrow with your proctologist, Dr. Wu." Donald laughed, "Yeah, he's really chosen a glamour profession." Walter responded, "It's hard to imagine that we've ended up at this dude ranch above the sea." Donald stated, "Don't tell me that your superfine mind has come undone." Walter replied, "I'm okay, but while I'm here, I'm gonna wear no socks and shoes." Soon, the administrator of the retirement home met with the founders of Steely Dan to lay down the law of the center. When he finished, "Donald yelled, "I'll be what I want to be!"
"Steely Dan Coach College Football"
When Donald got the call from the athletic director at Berkeley, he said yes because William and Mary won't do. He, immediately, brought in Walter to be his assistant coach, and told him, "They got a name for the winners in the world." Donald's real motive was go to New York and beat his old school. Donald and Walter had no problem recruiting players because they told them their big debut would include their name in lights.The coaches joked about playing teams with names like Trojans and Beavers when Donald said, "Sounds like a party at Annandale." When deciding who would play quarterback, Walter stated, He's gotta be older than nineteen." Donald added, "We gotta get a crowd-pleasing man." The coaches were elated to get the country's top defensive standout, and Walter told Donald, "Let's have a drink now that the deal has been done." At practice one day, Donald asked Walter, "Who's the dude with the bad sneakers?" Walter responded, "He's the jack of speed, and he's dying to be a star."
Steely Dan members were living at New York coming from their tour in California. The City of New York was in fear at the time of the son of Sam serial killings. Streets were empty at night. Before going into the studio, Steely Dan played a concert in San Jose. Now they also wanted the Son of Sam killer caught. The lyrics to Josie was written in a hurry. Subconsciously, when the Son of Sam killer would be caught, it would be a sigh of relief, a sort of celebration. It's sort of the way people celebrated on V-Day, ending WWII.
"A Steely Dan Bedtime Story"
Once upon a time, there was a king, named Richard, who ruled Mizar. He fell madly in love with his darling, Rose. After a short engagement, they were married by a Deacon in a blue suit. They honeymooned near the caves of Altamira and did it again quite frequently without a fez. Night after night, it was a countdown to ecstasy. Soon, they were home at last, and Rose and King Richard, in the months and years to follow, would have a castle full of show biz kids. Their first kid, a boy, was named Charlemagne. Later, daughters, Josie and Peg, would beautify the castle with their French twists. Rikki, their youngest, was a mathematics prodigy who never lost track of her numbers. The parents were strict with their daughters, but the girls didn't seem to care. The family would vacation by carriage to the sea and when the children got too loud, King Richard would say, "keep it down, just until we get out of town." During their holiday, the family would sit under a banyan tree and watch the sun go down on the crimson tide. They let the children play up on the hill near the black cows. The king, however, had a mistress at this seaside Eldorado resort. When confronted by Rose, Katy lied and said there was nothing to it. Katy was only nineteen at the time. Rose knew the fix was in. Later, Rose told King Richard that she knew of the affair and was planning on a trip to Haiti for a divorce. She said, "I can't cry anymore while you run around." Upon hearing this news, King Richard summoned his therapist, Dr. Wu. After a lengthy discussion about the king's infidelity, Dr. Wu responded, "the things you think are useless I can't understand." Rose, still reelin' from this news demanded, "I want to know everything you did." King Richard confessed to an affair with Katy's sister, Pearl. He defended himself by saying, "it was just a fling with a couple of skinny girls." King Richard hastily had his family return to Castle Bravo, coincidentally, at the changing of the guard. He met with his generals to discuss the expansion of his kingdom to new frontiers. He told them he wanted to be king of the world. Rose, however, took a gift from the king, a pair of green earrings, and threw them in the moat. She realized that she had been royally scammed. King Richard went to Rose's bedroom and told her it would never happen again, but she replied, "after what you've done, only a fool would say that." She gave him the goodbye look before she lit the candle and put a lock upon the door. King Richard, in a rage, threatened harm to their children by drowning them in the moat when he said, "I'll throw back the little ones." At that very moment, there was fire in the hole as the castle came under ambush by battle apples! King Richard became suicidal and thought about taking his life with a gun. His last words were, "Don't Take Me Alive!" The day after the king's demise, Rose had lunch with Gina, her best friend. They drank kirschwasser from a shell. Gina advised Rose to sell her home and move to a place called the Custerdome. The next day, Rose put a sign in front of the castle that read: Everything Must Go.
Always wondered if Josie was Rosie Vela......
Lyrics ??
I definitely know that everything that I think and feel is like a prayer. Yesterday wanted to again scream my lungs out on the balcony towards the skies. I've done it before, but I don't want my very good downstairs neighbors to get concerned about that again. It's best in the car with the sunroof open driving by myself down the highway. It's when I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin in fury, but most of the time contained. Let things just rumble and explode somewhere in the world, because it gets taken out on the world. I don't have patience nor should I have patience anymore with it all against me ANYMORE. How many different times have I said that I'm not a premeditated psychopathic sadists, masochist. Of course I'm not going to be anything like my beloved Jesus Christ. That didn't work out thousands of years ago, nor does today. Same old same old anti Christs, hand in hand together in the world, as are today with atheist China.
Trust in the Lord and He will give you rest
[Insert Obligatory Comment About Being Born In The Wrong Generation]
Not me...I was born in the right (sigh...) one
Does being born in 1968 count? I was very young (about 9) when the song came out, but I was a fan of it and several other songs they wrote and performed.
"Steely Dan Takes an Uber"
Donald and Walter told the driver to drive west on Sunset. And they were off, wheels turnin' 'round and 'round. Walter told the driver, "we can go out driving on slow hand row." Donald responded, "the trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind." The driver told them he had been drinking Scotch whiskey all night long. The only thing Donald could think was: is there gas in the car? Walter asked the driver, "are you crazy, are you high or just an ordinary guy?" The driver replied, "a man of my mind can do anything." In a nervous voice, Donald said, "Mister driver, take me where the music play." Walter chimed in, "as long as they play till dawn." They asked the driver to head to Mexico, but he replied, "Guadalajara won't do." Donald thought to himself, "I foresee terrible trouble, and I stay here just the same." Walter spoke to Donald, " It's almost midnight. Let's go to Mr. Chow's." This crazy Uber driver had scared them so bad that Donald remarked to Walter, "I never seen you looking so bad my funky one." That's when the driver screamed, "You know I'm going insane; yes I'm laughing at the frozen rain!" Walter, visibly shaken, moaned, "I need a glass of cherry wine." To the Uber driver, Donald asked, "Tell me where are you driving, Midnight Cruiser?" The driver smirked, "You're hanging tight with the Jack of Speed." Donald started praying like a Roman with his eyes on fire. This was definitely a black Friday for the boys from Bard. They were beginning to think their days were gone forever. Trying to calm them down, the driver spoke softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm an immigrant, a third world man." Walter pleaded, "Take a right here and we'll be home at last." To which the driver responded, "Okay, I live close by, but I'm gonna sell my house in town. Greatly relieved, Donald whispered, "Next time, Lyft."
