LOVE this one! There's a great story behind it... In short, Donald Fagen befriended Rikki, the wife of one of his professors at Bard College. She was a writer who had grown up on the college’s campus and graduated from the university with a B.A. in Fine Arts a year before Fagen had enrolled there. The two found themselves at the same party, and despite Fagen’s knowledge that she was married - and the fact she was pregnant at the time - he gave Rikki his number. She never called...
Jay & Amber, you'll absolutely LOVE their "Aja", "Deacon Blues" and "Josie"!!!!! edit- Jeff Baxter (pre-Doobie Brothers) on electric guitar!! That's Jeff wearing the beret. Its Rikki Ducornet. Ducornet said they met at a college party, and even though she was both pregnant and married at the time, he gave her his number, although not in the same context as the song. Ducornet was intrigued by Fagen and tempted to call him, but she decided against it.
Another vote for Black Cow, Deacon Blues, Peg, FM, Aja, Pretzel Logic (Michael McDonald is one of the background singers), Caves of Altamira, Royal Scam, The Fez, Hey Nineteen, Josie, etc. They had lots of great musicians and background singes on their stuff.
One thing I've noticed about you two is how Amber has really come a long way in how she can analyze a song and the different parts and different instruments while Jay just kinda flows along with "the groove' and giggles over the lyrics a bit! You two really play well off of each other and it's a lot of fun for us to watch. Keep it up. It's a great show. Deacon Blues and Black Cow. I'll patiently wait because there are a hundred other SD songs you could play as well. Cheers!
I could reel off 2 dozen Steely Dan songs you need to hear. Kid Charlemagne is an absolute must, but I suggest saving it until later. My first pick would be "My Old School". it is one of their earlier songs, but so much fun with a rockin' tempo, great guitar licks, and awesome horn parts. But whatever you choose you can't go wrong with the Dan! Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to this one. Have a great weekend, RSR Fam!
omg my most favourite steely dan song. i know it's considered their most commercial hit but i absolutely love how silky smooth and melodic this song is! rikki is an actual woman whom songwriter donald fagen met at a party and was smitten. she was married and pregnant at the time so i love how it has a forlorn but yearning feel ❤ the intro is also an homage to the jazz classic "song for my father" by horace silver. p.s. the "number" y'all are wondering about is donald's phone number, which he gave her in the hope she'd call. she did not.
To me, Steely Dan created perfect records. The writing, the arrangement, the execution, the layering, the production--all perfect. Think about when you sit down to write something or draw something or cook something. How many times do you say "that was exactly what I was trying to do?" With Steely Dan, they just "nailed it." Aja is a perfect example of a perfect album.
You can't pin Steely Dan down but you always recognize some aspect of that Steely Dan sound immediately. Now that you know the magic of these guys,, with their huge catalog,, there are decades of absolute bliss ahead! It's like a craving... You've just started this journey and we couldn't be more excited for you!
This song and another Steely Dan song called Peg was completing in the charts at the same time. They have many genres mixed together, but I would personally categorize them as EASY LISTENING.
Steely Dan has so much variety, you would be wise to make sure you do them at least once a month. "Peg" would be a great one to do next, but "Aja" would really wow you.
This is a great song, part of their more pop repertoire. Next up try FM (No Static at All) for the beginnings of their more groove songs. Black Cow, Green Earrings, Deacon Blues, Glamour Profession, My Rival, Babylon Sister, Hey Nineteen; these are all super groove/funky. So glad you're enjoying The Dan!
@@someoneoncesaid6978 I grew up with this song and now I get why a bossa nova beat gets me going, along with a stand up bass, I can love a bad song with a stand up bass in it!
Another excellent reaction! The Dan are my favorite band because they check all the boxes: when I want to jam, when I want to chill, when I want to think, when I don't want to think, there's a Steely song to fit the need... They're raw and rough, but also smooth and highly technical... A couple of suggestions... Don't Take Me Alive rocks hard... Aja and Home At Last are as good as smooth jazz gets... Haitian Divorce and Caves of Altamira also show off these guys' (and the studio musicians') talent! There are very few meh songs in the entire Steely catalog, and almost all are end to end phenomenal! The pianist (and writer/composer) is Donald Fagen... You guys give me so much hope for the future of music! Keep up the great work!
That piano lick that's at the start was taken from jazz pianist Horace Silvers "Song for my father". They were huge jazz fans. You have not even scratched the surface when it comes to their huge catalog of incredible songs.🎶
I'm a huge Steely Dan fan. It was so amazing growing up in the 70s and 80s and hearing awesome music like this on the radio. Great reaction Jay and Amber ❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite Steely Dan song. Now, don't kill the messenger. I listened to these guys on AM radio growing up in the 60's and 70's. I love them!! A friend of mine who is 11 years older than me asked me if I knew what a Steely Dan was. I had no idea...forgive me if this has already been talked about.
I've said it before, and always will, the 70's generation was the best ever! Jay and Amber would have been right there among us and fit right in. You guys do a great job with the homage for the actual musicianship of these guys that actually played and sang the music without all the electronics used now a days.
They lifted the piano part from Horace Silver's "Song for my Father" and created their own story around that. The following song on Pretzel Logic is "Night by Night" which would be a perfect follow up to this one. All in all, this is a fairly offbeat album (even for Steely Dan) but one of my favorites along with Can't Buy a Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, and The Royal Scam. Thanks for the upload.
I agree with you, you can’t put Steely Dan in a box/category, but my husband has a big playlist of 70’s/80’s songs and when one comes on from them I can tell it is them right away because they are so unique. Thanks for reacting to them guys, so glad you enjoyed it!❤❤
The "Bum Bum, Bum Bum" is lifted directly from Jazz pianist Horace Silver's song "Song for my Father". Rookie Don't Lose That Number, along with Josie and Time Out of Mind are my favorite hits, though all their bits are excellent. Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, ELO and Deep Purple were my favorite FM rock bands from the 1970s. I'll give Dave Edmunds an honorable mention. But, then Lynyrd Skynyrd comes to mind as well. What a decade!
Love SteelyDan. Agree you can’t categorize them. Songs are all unique and rarely the same......but they’re recognizable every time. You always know it’s Steely Dan! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Steely Dan were heavily influenced by Jazz music. That opening piano riff that you're grooving to is directly taken from a song called "Song For My Father" by Horace Silver, a pianist in the 50's and 60's.
This is going to be long as I've just jumped the Rob squad train! ❤you guys are great and I so appreciate your response to older music! 1. The house of the Rising Sun, is based on an old blues so about illegal brothel/ gambling/drinking establishment where the I assume grew up. And he's telling folks to avoid that life. I believe. You can search the original as "Rising sun blues". 2. Tiny Dancer is an ode to a "seamstress for the band" who became an lover and traveled with the band hence the references to the headlights on the highway. And yes he's an amazing pianist classically trained since a child. And one of you mentioned how hard he played! At times during his tours his fingers would burst and bless and have to be bandaged but he'd play on just as hard night after night! 😮 So yes he does play hard!! He has an expert command of it! Lastly Led Zep is my all time favorite and I can't tell you anything and everything about them! As an 17yr old even gained some close proximity! We imagined ourselves running off with them as "groupies" but of course it was quickly pointed out we were underage, so alas they were very sweet and respectful but oh you can just imagine how much more we had hoped for!! 😂 I'm retired now and live a quite solitary life and your videos have brought me so much joy and helped me remember my first strong reactions to this stuff it would make your hair stand on end! Please contact me anytime you have questions about a song or what it's about as I am truly (not bragging) a WELTH of information! So much love to you both for bringing back one of the first and most important joys in my life! MUSIC💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
My bestie in 9th and 10th grade and I both had a crush on a boy named Ricky. Every time I hear this song I think of them. Sadly, both passed away from drugs. But the song still brings back memories of those special years before responsibilities and early adulthood.
Steely Dan is one of those bands that has a ton of tunes that get airplay even today. You don't really realize how many they have until you start thinking about it. Great band.
Walter and Donald did amazing things as Steely Dan and their masses of top studio musicians.This is one of their first hits and a great tune. You might want to try My z old School, Dr. Wu, and Kid Charlemagne .
Yes, some jazz-rock from Steely Dan! This was the biggest song chart wise landing at #4 in '74. Want to hear some whiskey drinking music checkout Deacon Blues next. Thanks. 😎
Steely Dan is one of my favorite 70s bands...you guys should check them out a lot more often!! Amber, the song you forgot about that you did was My Old School...one of my many favorites. You guys should do Peg next. There's also Josie, Kid Charlemagne, The Fez, and Haitian Divorce. Even after doing these you'll still have a lot more great music to listen to!!
My favorite Steely Dan song (among many awesome songs of theirs). I was 14 when this came out, and it so reminds me of a great summer at the South Jersey Shore. Their music is so atmospheric, and this song always puts me in the best, most nostalgic mood. It's the same with Do It Again and My Old School ... all have such different sounds and create totally different moods, but they all bring me such joy.
Love this song from my childhood! My mom said it made her think of my dad because when they were dating it was popular and my dad's name is Eric, so she thought of him as Ricky I guess! Also do Peg next, one oy my faves by Steely Dan!
Also love this one off of their album Pretzel Logic. That unmistakable Steely Dan sound, so smooth and creative. Donald Fagen has done some great solo stuff, you should react to 'New Frontier'-a great song by him-Colin Ward
Pure 🔥. Too many great SD tunes to count. Check out Peg, Babylon Sisters, Josie, Deacon Blues, Black Friday, Time Out of Mind, Black Cow, and Kid Charlemagne. You could do Steely Dan Sundays and have classic tunes for the next year.
I'm with you, Jay -- "Do it Again" is my favorite Steely Dan song. The Eagles also admired Steely Dan's lyrics, and how they would take on uncomfortable subjects. Love the reaction, as always. Peace! 💗
We sure had the bestest music didn’t we guys?!?
Yes we sure did! I'm forever grateful that I got to experience 70's music firsthand!
We sure did!!
We did!
Amen.
And concert tickets were cheap.
LOVE this one! There's a great story behind it...
In short, Donald Fagen befriended Rikki, the wife of one of his professors at Bard College.

The two found themselves at the same party, and despite Fagen’s knowledge that she was married - and the fact she was pregnant at the time - he gave Rikki his number.
She never called...
Thanks for that🤭
It was also know while in college Chevy Chase would play drums for the group as he was friends with the band.
@@stingray69691correct!!
Bass line from a horace silver song
NOOOOOOOOOOooooo! Ricky lost the number afterall!
Jay & Amber, you'll absolutely LOVE their "Aja", "Deacon Blues" and "Josie"!!!!!
edit- Jeff Baxter (pre-Doobie Brothers) on electric guitar!! That's Jeff wearing the beret.
Its Rikki Ducornet. Ducornet said they met at a college party, and even though she was both pregnant and married at the time, he gave her his number, although not in the same context as the song. Ducornet was intrigued by Fagen and tempted to call him, but she decided against it.
I second these suggestions.
Yes 100%
Aja is my favorite album
And “Peg”
Yeah. Aja and Deacon Blues and Black Cow are all amazing
Steely Dan is a crazy good band who utilized some of the best session players of the time period. You need to try Kid Charlemagne!
I agree that Kid Charlemagne is a banger, but you should check out the meaning of the song first
TOTALLY AGREE! GREAT TUNE!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ LYRICS!!!!
no
Is there gas in the car?
@@jimeiden2360Yes, there's GAS in the CAR!! 🤫
Another vote for Black Cow, Deacon Blues, Peg, FM, Aja, Pretzel Logic (Michael McDonald is one of the background singers), Caves of Altamira, Royal Scam, The Fez, Hey Nineteen, Josie, etc. They had lots of great musicians and background singes on their stuff.
Glamour Profession…don’t forget Glamour Profession
No static at all!
Time out of Mind .
I would include "Babylon Sisters".
You can hit random on any Steely Dan album and play a hit. :)
Ambers so deep, thoughtful and pays attention to all details of every song. She gets it. Adding her to this channel was the best idea ever 😸
100% yes yes yes agree. She absorbs….. knows……
She sure does her homework
100% It just wouldn’t be so great without her (no offense J)!
Come for the song, stay for Amber's analysis
Y'all need to try some of their 1977 hits like "Peg" and "Josie."
Def! Love them both!
Correct!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊🎶🎶🎶🎶👍
Their song Black Cow is a must!!!
Agree with this.
I only recently heard this song and agree 100%!!!
And Green Earing
They are their own genre.
Love Steely Dan. They are in their own music genre ❤
that is so true. some people would like to put them in a category but they can't!
Perfectly put.
They were super cool and always will be😎👍
One thing I've noticed about you two is how Amber has really come a long way in how she can analyze a song and the different parts and different instruments while Jay just kinda flows along with "the groove' and giggles over the lyrics a bit!

So glad you’re doing Steely Dan! This is a deep and incredible catalog to dive into!
Amen to that!
I could reel off 2 dozen Steely Dan songs you need to hear. Kid Charlemagne is an absolute must, but I suggest saving it until later. My first pick would be "My Old School". it is one of their earlier songs, but so much fun with a rockin' tempo, great guitar licks, and awesome horn parts. But whatever you choose you can't go wrong with the Dan! Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to this one. Have a great weekend, RSR Fam!
they did My Old School a year ago.
You guys have got to hear “ you’re gold teeth” by SD
I really like any major dude will tell you
All SD tunes are worth a listen....
omg my most favourite steely dan song. i know it's considered their most commercial hit but i absolutely love how silky smooth and melodic this song is!
rikki is an actual woman whom songwriter donald fagen met at a party and was smitten. she was married and pregnant at the time so i love how it has a forlorn but yearning feel ❤
the intro is also an homage to the jazz classic "song for my father" by horace silver.
p.s. the "number" y'all are wondering about is donald's phone number, which he gave her in the hope she'd call. she did not.
"Homage" is a nice way to phrase that
Real music by real musicians. Thanks for this 😊
To me, Steely Dan created perfect records. The writing, the arrangement, the execution, the layering, the production--all perfect. Think about when you sit down to write something or draw something or cook something. How many times do you say "that was exactly what I was trying to do?" With Steely Dan, they just "nailed it." Aja is a perfect example of a perfect album.
Back in the day, Steely Dan was said to be, "Your favorite band's favorite band."
Any Major Dude Will Tell You is a must do, for real, guys!
One of if not the best jazz/rock fusion bands
Steely Dan will forever hold a special musical spot in my heart from my childhood
Me too I was starting kindergarten when Do it again was on the radio.We have these happy childhood memories forever!😎👍👍
You have to listen to Deacon Blues, it's 8 minutes long but it's worth it.
Such a great vibe. This group was so strong in the 70s. Just plain awesome!
Steely Dan NEVER gets old. It's a joy every time.
Sooo much good music - there’s not a bad song in their catalog ❤
Bad Sneakers, Don’t Take Me Alive, Black Cow to name just a few!!
Every Steely Dan album is a gem. Bad Sneakers is at the top of my list for favorite SD song.
You can't pin Steely Dan down but you always recognize some aspect of that Steely Dan sound immediately.
Now that you know the magic of these guys,, with their huge catalog,, there are decades of absolute bliss ahead! It's like a craving...
You've just started this journey and we couldn't be more excited for you!
Terrific band.
This song and another Steely Dan song called Peg was completing in the charts at the same time. They have many genres mixed together, but I would personally categorize them as EASY LISTENING.
Such a great band, so many hits to listen too.😊
..."Class of 76"...What a Great Soft Rock Song that played on radio stations all the time...
Steely Dan has so much variety, you would be wise to make sure you do them at least once a month.
"Peg" would be a great one to do next, but "Aja" would really wow you.
Yes 😊 !! You found steely Dan, my favourite band , I love their work
You don't need to understand Steely Dan, you just need to love their groove.
Loooooove this song since it’s release, guys!!!! ♥️✌️ Thanks!!!!
This song is SO beautiful. Steely Dan is just magnificent. ‘We could go out driving on Sloham road’.
Can you believe HIGH SCHOOL KIDS listened to sophisticated and elegant music like this in the 1970s??!!
I know right?? Crazy!!
Oh yes we did! Headphones cranked
Steely Dan is a master class is musicianship, artistry, and recording. You can’t go wrong with them.
“Reeling in the Years” will always be my favorite Steely Dan song. Takes me back to my childhood in the glorious 70s.
CLASSIC STEELY DAN!! ❤
"Computer, in what single music genre does the catalog of Steely Dan belong?"
**computer begins to smoke**
This is a great song, part of their more pop repertoire. Next up try FM (No Static at All) for the beginnings of their more groove songs. Black Cow, Green Earrings, Deacon Blues, Glamour Profession, My Rival, Babylon Sister, Hey Nineteen; these are all super groove/funky. So glad you're enjoying The Dan!
Steely Dan trying a Bossa Nova Esque Song. As a Brazilian , I love it
I was thinking bossa nova too.
@@someoneoncesaid6978 I grew up with this song and now I get why a bossa nova beat gets me going, along with a stand up bass,
I can love a bad song with a stand up bass in it!
It's a take on Horace Silver's "Song for My Father." It was inspired by a trip to Brazil, I believe.
@@patrickwhite1826 you're light. I didn't know It but after listening to It now that you told me, the Bass groove and mood is identical
Another great Steely Dan song, it was their biggest hit. With such a catchy and memorable chorus, it couldn't fail!
Nothin better than a song that reveals a story , it brings you into the music , Steely Dan is stamped in time as that band who did it best .
Next time you're listening to the Dan check out Don't Take Me Alive. A bit more rockin and has one of the best intro guitar solos ever.
Agreed!
Another excellent reaction! The Dan are my favorite band because they check all the boxes: when I want to jam, when I want to chill, when I want to think, when I don't want to think, there's a Steely song to fit the need... They're raw and rough, but also smooth and highly technical... A couple of suggestions... Don't Take Me Alive rocks hard... Aja and Home At Last are as good as smooth jazz gets...

I'm a huge Steely Dan fan. It was so amazing growing up in the 70s and 80s and hearing awesome music like this on the radio. Great reaction Jay and Amber ❤❤❤❤❤
I'll be willing to bet that "Haitian Divorce" by Steely Dan would become one of your favorites .
Well alrighty!!! Great one. Ready for some Steely Dan!! 😊❤
My favorite Steely Dan song. Now, don't kill the messenger. I listened to these guys on AM radio growing up in the 60's and 70's. I love them!! A friend of mine who is 11 years older than me asked me if I knew what a Steely Dan was. I had no idea...forgive me if this has already been talked about.

You can never go wrong with Steely Dan!
After their first album, Steely Dan was basically two guys backed by the best session musicians in the world.
"My Old School" next please?? Thank you guys for everything! Peace
there are no bands like this...one n only Steely Dan!! great reaction you two!!!
Same era as Do It Again, 2 of their best
Been a fan of Steely Dan since the 70's. Brilliant band and so tight in their music. So cool.
wow ! you guys are the best ! More Steely Dan please. Try their super funky song Green Earrings
Oh I love that song!
Green Earrings yes. Royal Scam. Fez. Etc.
Their first run of seven albums are perfection. Midnite Cruiser, With A Gun, Black Friday, Charlie Freak, Kings, Don't Take Me Alive all great songs.
Perfection reminds me of how much I love Time Out of Mind. Sooo many great songs!!
The "Bum Bum, Bum Bum" is lifted directly from Jazz pianist Horace Silver's song "Song for my Father".
Rookie Don't Lose That Number, along with Josie and Time Out of Mind are my favorite hits, though all their bits are excellent.
Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, ELO and Deep Purple were my favorite FM rock bands from the 1970s. I'll give Dave Edmunds an honorable mention. But, then Lynyrd Skynyrd comes to mind as well. What a decade!
Top shelf band
I love Steely Dan. Great band with great songs
Wonderful song from the year I was born 1974
I really like Hey Nineteen.
Love SteelyDan. Agree you can’t categorize them. Songs are all unique and rarely the same......but they’re recognizable every time. You always know it’s Steely Dan! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm 60 and have lover Steely Dan since I was 14! Check out Hey 19, FM, Black Cow and anything from the Aja album.
Steely Dan’s music is so original and creative…..and awesome! They are quite amazing.
Steely Dan were heavily influenced by Jazz music. That opening piano riff that you're grooving to is directly taken from a song called "Song For My Father" by Horace Silver, a pianist in the 50's and 60's.

@@steverobinson3900 oh yeah 😊
A masterpiece... as is the whole album.
Love Steely Dan! So many great songs, and this is one of my favorites.
Dang u 2 great bands today omg, this amazing band ohhh wonderful rabbit hole!!
I loved your reaction to this, Jay and Amber.
Other great tracks by them are, 'Kid Charlemagne', 'Haitian Divorce' and 'FM'.
The late 60's and pretty much the entire decade of the 70's was/is "my" music. Fabulous artists!
Steely Dan is what we use to listen to when ending a night of LSD, Pink Floyd and the movie Forbidden Zone.
This is going to be long as I've just jumped the Rob squad train! ❤you guys are great and I so appreciate your response to older music!
1. The house of the Rising Sun, is based on an old blues so about illegal brothel/ gambling/drinking establishment where the I assume grew up. And he's telling folks to avoid that life. I believe. You can search the original as "Rising sun blues".

Whiskey drinking music FOR SURE!! Great call!!! Cool!! Like your sunglasses lol. 😁
Another one on our set list in the 70's. Played this song many times to many audiences. Always a favorite.
Steely Dan is one of my favorite 70s bands...you guys should check them out a lot more often!! Amber, the song you forgot about that you did was My Old School...one of my many favorites. You guys should do Peg next. There's also Josie, Kid Charlemagne, The Fez, and Haitian Divorce. Even after doing these you'll still have a lot more great music to listen to!!
Great song. I REALLY loved "Hey Nineteen" back in the day.
Good tune from back in the day

Also do Peg next, one oy my faves by Steely Dan!
Absolutely one of my most favorite groups
🤗❣️🤗
My old school is the other song
Jeff Baxter with one of the smoothest solos... Dude was unreal.
Also love this one off of their album Pretzel Logic. That unmistakable Steely Dan sound, so smooth and creative. Donald Fagen has done some great solo stuff, you should react to 'New Frontier'-a great song by him-Colin Ward
I remember this song all over the radio when it came out....loved it then, love it now!
Pure 🔥. Too many great SD tunes to count. Check out Peg, Babylon Sisters, Josie, Deacon Blues, Black Friday, Time Out of Mind, Black Cow, and Kid Charlemagne. You could do Steely Dan Sundays and have classic tunes for the next year.
This is the song that confirmed my Steely Dan fan status!
Peace
I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat. FM.
I'm with you, Jay -- "Do it Again" is my favorite Steely Dan song. The Eagles also admired Steely Dan's lyrics, and how they would take on uncomfortable subjects. Love the reaction, as always. Peace! 💗
Steely Dan - Peg
Usher I'm always happy to run across your reactions when I've been there since day one. Still as fun and delightful and intriguing as always.
