The Dean Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 BillyMaysHere said: steely dan is music for dads As is Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Charlie Parker, Ray Charles, Mozart, Bach... You know...excellent, well composed music. Not cheaply made, easily forgotten/disposable popular music. Steely Dan is definitely Dad music, if your Dad is a trained musician, or simply has extremely good taste.

But in all honesty, I found out about the name's dildo origin about 2 years after first hearing and appreciating their music. Too bad their current tour is so o ver-priced. Rent Party for $145+ ??

Read the article then heard the song. Yep - the female chorus most definitely says "Lost Wages". Strangely, I noticed this time that Fagen never sings either Las Vegas or Lost Wages in the entire song. Before yesterday, I could have sworn he has those words in his part of the lyrics.
