Steely Dan were the pinnacle of accessible sophistication. Such a perfect mixture of rock, jazz, blues, and r&b. The core band was two people: Walter Becker (guitar) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, vocals). They were perfectionists who would hire the best of the best musicians to craft these immaculate songs and albums. This track was the first track from their very first (!) album and was one of their many hits. Other major hits include: Reelin' in the Years, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Deacon Blues, Kid Charlemagne, Don't Take Me Alive, Hey Nineteen, Peg, Black Friday, and Babylon Sisters. Simply one of the best bands of all time.
Don't forget My Old School
Great analogy!
Pretty much every song they recorded is worth a listen. Top shelf songs.
Steely Dan is a great American rock band founded in 1971. They had a lot of great hits such as "Dirty Work", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Hey Nineteen", "Josie", "Aja", "Kid Charlemagne", "Deacon Blues", "FM", "Show Biz Kids", "My Old School", "Babylon Sisters" etc."
Their later work was more jazz, blues, and r&b and less rock.
other great bands from the era include, the doobie bros, the eagles, fleetwood mac, poco, steve miller & joe walsh!!!
The part about the water probably refers to back in the wild west if you were traveling across the desert. If someone stole your water you could die of thirst before you got to a town.
Steely Dan has so many great songs and they have been sampled for many modern songs.
I agree about the whole wild west thing, and the hangman part reinforces that. But I think it's more about the very real and bloody battles over water between the cattle and sheep ranchers at that time. Watch the classic movie Shane (or better yet, read the book) to get a sense of the problem.
Great reaction!!!
The singer their showing is David Palmer who was hire because Donald Fagen wasn't comfortable at first with being the lead vocalist.
Palmer also worked with Carol King.
You have entered a very deep rabbit hole with the Dan.
To be alive when this song and others of this time came out was truly a gift.
It brings back so many memories of driving to Vermont to ski on weekends.
Deep deep!
You have just discovered the musicianship of Steely Dan! They're legends!!!!!!!!
Very Deep Rabbit Hole!!! Masters in Musicianship!!
better by Waylon though
I was a freshman in high school in 1972 when this song came out. The vibe from this song put its hooks into me and never let go. Steely Dan has been a part of my musical journey all these years👍🏼.
Britt, the 70’s were an awesome time to be a teenager and young adult.
YOU, would have rocked 70’s…😊
Amen to that!
I was in 8th grade in 1972! Loved that song, And loved that era as a young man!!!!
17 in 1972, music has never been the same. My HS friend played drums with them, Jeff Porcaro. ❤
“Jack, you seem to be a magnet for trouble, sir”😂🤣😂🤣Got a belly laugh out of me! Loved your reaction, Britt. One of my favorite albums as a teen in high school was Aja. Solid album start to finish, as so many of their others are. I think you’ll enjoy diving into their catalogue. Steely Dan’s music is top notch. RIP Walter Becker.
The song is about to the foolishness of repeating ones mistakes over and over again.
Ironically, on this channel.
Yep...three separate examples of poor choices using fictitious people (none of which are actually named "Jack").
Deacon Blues is also great song. Steely Dan is worthy of their own playlist.
This is the first song from the band's first album. They started strong and never dipped because of their work ethic in the studio... perfect or it doesn't make the cut.
Love Steely Dan!
I was a kid in the 70's. I can't remember a day I wasn't listening to music, singing and dancing. It was a great time. ☮️
Steely Dan kept me sane as a teenager in the 70's. 😂😂 Absolutely best decade for music!
The 70s are unmatched when it comes to music, though I might be biased because I grew up in that era. Steely Dan was killing it! Try "Black Cow", "Time Out of Mind", and "Everything Must Go".
You are so correct!! the 70's music is hands down the best ever.
Love this band
Steely Dan is definitely in my top 10.
Love them! RIP Walter Becker. Do go down the Steely Dan rabbit hole. You won't be sorry!
They are currently on tour with the Eagles and I'm going to see them when they come to town and I can't wait, love both bands! Have a great day!
Yes its about the circle of life. Repeating mistakes. Love the video. Steely Dan one of my favorite groups. A song that influences me to drive fast.
Steely Dan; another great 70's rabbit hole. People ask why I mostly listen to the music off my teenage years, IT'S BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER DECADES !!
This performance was on 'The Midnight Special'
The Midnight Special was a great TV show in the 1970's/1980's.
It was on right after Johnny Carson. They had all the greatest acts...
Hi Britt, Those tall hand drums are actually called "congas," the bongos are much smaller and have a distinctively different sound!!! Please react to Steely Dan's song "PEG" because it too is a "VIBE" and the music jams!!!"
Masters of their craft, Becker and Fagen have produced some of the finest music ever written.
Please continue down the Steely Dan rabbit hole, It will not disappoint.
i was 14 in 1970, and grew up with all this awesome music! i still wear bell bottoms lol. you are a kindred soul and definitely a child of the 70s. no matter when you were born! i so enjoy your reactions.
Steely Dan is its own rabbit hole. You could get lost for weeks. Great great band that you just can't pigeon hole. Donald Fagen (keyboards) and Walter Becker (bass) were the hub and they surrounded themselves with the creme de la creme of session musicians specific to whatever they were working on.
That's what they were all about! VIBE!
One of the best songs EVER.
AHHHH.....HIGH SCHOOL IN THE 70S....BEST MUSIC EVER !
If they stole your water in a desert, it's serious. The song is about vices.
I'm so happy you found "The Dan". The musicality of these two men is amazing. It is a long trip, but I suggest you go somewhat chronological. Headphones are advisable!!!
Brit, you have to realize that back in the days of the old west, if someone stole your water as you were traveling across the Prairie, you could die of dehydration before you made it to a town, or found a river, or a spring or a stream.
If you had a river or stream that you used to irrigate your crops, and someone diverted your flow of water, your source of livelihood, dried up and blew away!
And a lot of people’s attorney back, then was a rifle or a shotgun!
Your favorite band’s favorite band!
Steely Dan's "Can't buy a Thrill" album that Do it Again appears was the first album I purchased as a teen in 1972!
A great, funky, progressive groove. Thanks for your reaction.
The water is a metaphor
For what ?
The coolest band in the universe.
Musicians. who play so much and are the talent top.
2 words " Old School " ❤ u 😊
Steely Dan has a catalogue of music that is soooo worth delving into. It's hard for me to pick a favourite.
About drums: Bongo drums are the small ones (two linked together) that are held between the knees. The hand-drums in this video are "congas". They are held in hoop-stands and there are usually at least two or three of them but not always.
Hey Britt. Steely Dan is great. Aren't they? Everything they do is consistently this good. If you liked this song you need to check out their song called "Aja". Kurt from Maine
Just don't ask where the band name came from.
@@DavidSmith-pg1ob😜🤫
Trapped in a cycle of addiction and obsession, unable to break out of the pattern. It's really a very deep song.
Absolutely love the 70s, love this song, love your reaction, everything is totally awesome 🙏 yeah, can't stop moving either, absolutely groven in the groovy 😊
Underrated band ! Every time you sample them you want more !
Thank you for this trip down memory lane !
Gods Blessings be with you !
Britt jamming out it's a good thing oh yeah!
Pretzel Logic, Josie, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Hey Nineteen, Reelin' In the Years, My Old School, Bad Sneakers, FM, Peg, Dirty Work, Black Cow, Deacon Blues, Any Major Dude, Time Out of Mind, Aja and that's only those that come to mind right now!!! Oh BTW, they'll all make you feel like you're listening to incredibly complex music that makes you wanna move......
they were simply so good!
Exactly what a vibe! Steely Dan are masters of writing sophisticated songs both lyrically and sonically since you liked this one they have so many more wonderful songs to react to.
Peg is a good song!
Legendary musicianship Michael McDonald was a background singer in this hodge podge of musical genius that featured a wide array of studio masters including Larry Carlton and Jeff (skunk) Baxter this song also featured Dennis Diaz on the electric citar
Best description of this music is it sounds hott and cool at the same time.
Only group I know where it is literally true that "They never made a bad song". Trust us, you're going to LOVE this band!
This is my first time listening you do steely dan. Great band, you need to delve into them more. Thanks for the reaction.
Great vibing to this classic Britt! I got a few more 70's classics for you - How Long by Ace, Dancing In the Moonlight by King Harvest and A Love Of Your Own by Average White Band (Live at Montreux 1977).
This is an AMAZING rabbit hole. Enjoy Steely Dan. 🤟😊
They hit the rock-pop-jazz world like a firecracker! Grabbing lead singer from the Doobie Brothers gave them the key. Nobody had played this type of music in pop before. Danceable jazz-rock for the pre-disco clubs that had just replaced house bands with dance floors with disco lit FLOORS! You'll also really love their top hit, “Rikki Don't Lose That Number” and "Reeling in the Years", too!
Michael McDonald was with Steely Dan before he went to the Doobie Brothers.
@@mandandanmandamayor3511 as was Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, shown in this video on the congas.
Every song steely Dan did was a hit. That is a rabbit hole everybody should go down. That guitar solo is one of the hardest in music.
Steely Dan = vibe. That's the comment.
Wars were fought over water-rights in the old West! Electric sitar and organ setting on Synth!Song is about other kinds of addictions!
I love your reviews and love the fact you are reviewing Steely Dan. This is one of the songs I like to listen to late at night with the only light from the stereo. Or late on a summer night sitting in a car lakeside. This is a classic and I really enjoyed watching you listen to it.
“Do It Again” is about a man whose name is Jack that gets off on violence, women, & money. He keeps repeating his “addictions” for that purpose. 1972. Great tune.
As others have said, the song is about repeating ones mistakes over and over. "JACK' wasn't a specific person, but a slang term used during that time referring to anyone. Used at the end of a statement. "What's up Jack?"
Omg, love your chair dancing in this so much. Huge grin on my face. And yes it's an organ, it's just the way he's playing it. But there might be something else mixed in with it, I'm not sure.
I forgot all about this great song! Thanks
Great reaction / vibe
Love Steely Dan! They had so many great songs. Their musicality was amazing! Even though there lyrics could be somewhat dark, their tunes were always catchy and melodic...Some more great songs to check out: Kid Charlemagne, Green Earrings, Haitian Divorce, Reelin in the Years, Babylon Sisters, Peg, Night by Night and the list goes on....
Just a fun fact - this is from their album Aija which was the first major CD release.
I love watching music reactions, but I am really into yours by far.... I've been a Dj since 1981 and just make me so happy... You bring life to the music 🎶. Thank you so much 🙏
Back in the days of the Old West cowboys and travelers had to fill up casks, barrels and canteens whenever they came to a clean water source, and sometimes those were a 100 miles apart. Someone steals your water it could be a death sentence. Same with stealing your horse, since you'd be stranded on foot. Horse and water thievery were therefore considered capital crimes and punishable by hanging
I can't wait for November. I have tickets for steely Dan and the Eagles.
Steely Dan is top shelf music. All their songs are fabulous.
Don't try to decider Steel Dan lyrics. They are often kooky and bizarre...but they are very cool and why they are myvall-time favorite group!
Your review was so good I had to “do it again.” That organ/syn sounds like what Ray Manzerick of the Doors used to play in “Light my Fire.”
🖤🎼🎈🎼🖤 .. much , much , much great music with this band , Britt ... enjoy the journey ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️
I love your reviews also. I'm from this Era of music. You picked some really awesome music!
Explanation of lyrics - The central theme of Steely Dan’s “Do It Again” is that humans often find themselves repeating the same mistakes no matter how much they convince themselves otherwise. The writer through each of the verses explores how men value certain elements or habits though they can be quite destructive.
Verse 1
In the first verse for instance, the singer talks about violence, its needlessness and how the protagonist (one Jack) can’t seem to stop living in that cycle even though the consequences are grave.
What happens is this:
Someone steals Jack’s water. Water is by the way, a commodity that can be found everywhere and is therefore not very precious. But despite the sheer pettiness of this crime, Jack irrationally chases after the water thief and guns him down. Having realized the silliness and magnitude of his crime, Jack tries fleeing the country.
However, he is caught by the authorities at the border. They arraign him before court. He is supposed to be sentenced to death for taking someone’s life. However, interestingly the justice system somehow sets him free. This is what Steely Dan refers to in the line “the hangman isn’t hangin’“.
Owing to this, Jack is subsequently set free. He’s literally “put” back “on the street”. It’s not exactly clear how Jack was able to avoid capital punishment for taking a man’s life. And not only that, he was also set free despite killing someone.
At this juncture, it is likely Steely Dan might also be subtly criticizing the entire justice system. A man commits a petty crime (the crime of stealing water - something that is plentiful everywhere). However, he pays for it with his life. But another man commits a horrible crime (the crime of murder). However, the murderer is set free.
After all is said and done, Jack is lucky to go free. However, he doesn’t learn any lesson from this incident. He therefore goes and continues in his violent ways.
Verse 2
The second verse talks about a woman this Jack is involved with and how she often cheats with other men. At one point, Jack even catches her cheating on him with his close friend. The affair leads to the demise of his relationship with her. It also leads to the demise of his friendship with his friend. At the end of the day, Jack is thoroughly heartbroken and devastated.
But shortly after that, Jacks finds a new woman and tries to fill the gap with her. And even though Jack might be aware that this new woman is just using him and is only after his money, he still proceeds with the relationship. Based on the woman’s character, the narrator is very sure that she’ll abandon Jack at the end of the day and he’ll be on his “knees tomorrow”.
What this means is that Jack didn’t learn any lesson from his previous relationship. He moved from one “easy lover” to another. And will keep doing the same thing over and over again, even though it brings him misery.
Verse 3
The third verse carries a similar pattern, but this time it deals with the subject of money and Jack’s addiction to gambling. We see him trying to deny his addiction yet finds himself in the very situation he was trying to avoid, looking to make some more money.
Throughout the track, the songwriter seems to sarcastically urge the subject to keep pursuing the things that eventually corrupt him and make him feel sorrowful in the long run.
“Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin’ ’round and ’round
You go back, Jack, do it again”
Not one bad song in their catalog. Almost every song is a banger. And that solo!!!
I have always enjoyed Steely Dan. Love their sound!! 😅
I love this Girl......lookin just as fine as Tyra Banks........wit all that Flavor........She's definitely a Lovely One.......Go head Girl.......I'm Lovin your Style.........✌️
In the first verse, I always assumed they were in the desert. That's why they were so angry about the water.
The Steely Dan song "Black Cow" was sampled by Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz's for "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)". Kanye sampled "Kid Charlemagne"
I really enjoy your reactions, particularly to music of my era....60s, 70s. Yes, I'm old. Thanks!
Steely Dan seen them 3 times. Definitely look up "Peg" by Steely Dan. Pretty much every album by Steely Dan is an album you can listen to all the way through
FYI-stealing water, especially back in the day before it was readily transported by pipelines, and such was a BIG crime, and local wars and dustups/disputes were common over waterholes between sheep and cattle ranchers. "Water" can also be a metaphor for what is yours in todays jargon.
Great reaction. This looks like a live performance but I am sure the sound is from the “Can’t Buy A Thrill” album.Steely Dan is at their best in the studio because Fagan is a perfectionist. This song is a unique vibe. RIP Walter.
I remember a gang of us in a huddle in the school playground trying to listen to this on a tiny transistor radio.
love that you seem to favour live performances, showcasing the talents with minimal electronic alteration! !!!
Steely Dan is a rabbit hole worth going down. Seen them live some 20 times and would do it again...
I believe the synth sound was coming from a Stylophone, a kid's toy in the 70s marketed by Rolf Harris
next , pablo cruise - love will find a way :)
This video was originally recorded with David Palmer as the vocalist. Eventually, Donald Fagen took over the videos. Whoever did this video put the final album soundtrack on top of the video.
Donald was too shy/self conscious at first to sing in public. Thank goodness that changed.
They don’t miss
Jack shows up again in a much later album, in a song called "Jack of Speed", on the album "Two Against Nature"... more sadness.
MORE STEELY DAN!!!! please.
Funny, Britt! Can’t go wrong with any Steely Dan. VIBES all day long. “Aja” (pronounced Asia) and “Black Cow” couple more of their most famous.
this song marked my adolescence, and I am 65 years old
Love your reaction to this fave classic, haha, I know right? Jack keeps doin it again.. and again .. 😆
