Back in the day...there was only AM radio...many stations were static...when FM came out out with a stronger signal..the radio stations didn't fade in and out...something your generation never delt with brother
I grew up in the 50s and 60s. All we had was an AM radio and any time there was thunderstorms in the area that static was constant and many other devices would cause static such as power tools or other appliances. When I finally got a component tuner that had "FM" there were only two FM stations then in Memphis, TN and both played exclusively classical music. I wasn't into Classical music then but the signal was pure and had "no static at all". By the late 1960s, several new FM stations came on including "FM-100", which played modern popular music including Rock. Of course the "no static at all" had a different meaning in this song which was clever. Steely Dan produced some of the best music of the 70s and 80s. the music was always excellent and produced well.
Thanks Sceez! Steely Dan is everything! Just talent all the way around, one of my favorites! The horns, Saxs, guitar, bongos, piano and drums, whew! 💕💕💕
Its about groupies. 💯 Steely Dan lyrics, as I KEEP pointing out, are street-level AF!!! 💯😎 It sounds like jazz... but listen to it like some gangsta shit. For real! Because THAT'S what it means.
You just reacted to my favorite musical artist of ALL TIME. No static at all, baby ❤❤❤. Next: Steely Dan’s “Night By Night”; it’s another cool Mother Fu$&er song 🔥🔥🤤 Just saw Donald Fagen open for the Eagles 2 weeks ago; he’s still got it 😎
Pete Christlieb played tenor sax on this record. Other SD band mates who played tenor sax throughout their discography were S. Victor Parson, Preston Frazier, John Lawyer and used others when touring as needed. Got to see them in Virginia Beach, VA just b4 Walter Becker passed back in 2017..... the quality of the sound was absolutely AMAZING!. Donald Fagen is a beast! Great reaction, TY. My favorite song is Babylon Sisters. Albums of honorable mention would have to be Gaucho and Aja, but all of their albums are great.
📻 I feel so old knowing that FM radio only came into true being when I was a young teen. Before, we listened to all the hits of the day (mid 60's to very early 70's) on AM on our 9V transistor radios and car radios, full of static and Mono sound. FM changed Everything!!! And in Stereo! 🎛🎧
The lyric is: "Give her some f**ed up Muzak (elevator music), she treats you nice" (doesn't come across) "Feed her some hungry reggae, she'll love you twice." And to "worry" something is to use it hard.

Yep, just what I was thinking, this generation won't understand the transition from am radio and FM taking over the airwaves in the late 70's.
That’s it!! FM was the bomb!! AM was out! No static at all in FM. Crisp and clear

@@swinde But at night you could listen to AM stations hundreds of miles away.

I used to do that as well. I lived in Memphis, TN. I would listen to WLS, Chicago at night.
"Worry the bottle Mamma" means to open the bottle (pull the cork out) with your teeth.
Let me get some. (Teeth) that is .
No static at all, only the best vibes with Steely Dan
Steely Dan is one of the best bands ever! They’re in a class of their own. Check out Babylon Sisters! ☮️❤️😎
Not a band but many studio musician that Walter and Donald produced and guided into perfection!
One of my favorites Sceez thank you Tina for this one.
You're welcome! I love Steely Dan, Dan! 💞💞💞

They wrote some pretty sharp lyrics
Steely is wonderful
i like the version with the guitar solo outro better...but both are fire
The no static is about. Fm radio station was just starting to spread because then all the music was AM and it was static
Seen them live in concert 5 times

Masters of their craft, the finest music ever produced.
“Sue me if I play too long”.
The theme song for the 1978 film of the same name.

Another great Steely Dan!! 😊 no static
Ineradicable production for the entire album. How did he not hear this before now?
A superb soulful song with a funked up attitude!😃

FM changed Everything!!! And in Stereo! 🎛🎧
My fave SD song.
this guy really loves music!
There are two outro’s to this track the horn one is on the movie FM sound track the other on the steely Dan album is the guitar outro both memorable 👊
Hurry the bottle. Not worry the bottle.
Steely Dan was a favorite of mine. I was in my 20's when they got their first hits.
“Worry the bottle” …. Have a drink or two, or three
How fine, Im happy 😂😂
The Eagles on backing vocals.
The sax always makes a song sexy.
The lyric is:
"Give her some f**ed up Muzak (elevator music), she treats you nice" (doesn't come across)
"Feed her some hungry reggae, she'll love you twice."
And to "worry" something is to use it hard.
Clearly not the first time you heard this, but glad you liked it.
I’m sure you’ve heard by now the difference between AM & FM radio and the static.
I think no static at all had two meanings.
Another internet s____d rapper!
Way too much drama...let Donald Fagen's lyrics sink in, bro!
