The Dean Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrFishfinder Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I was in grade school in the 70's. Didn't have a radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Didn't have a radio? Should have had one with FM too, so he would get no static at all. 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+ ??

bdelma Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Chalk this one up to "you learn something new everyday". I'm sure that this isn't news to a lot of Steely Dan fans, but the band is named after a dildo in the book Naked Lunch. It's true. where have you been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Speaking of Dad music: http://crawdaddy.wolfgangsvault.com/Articl...w-Biz-Kids.html Thanx for the link. 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.
