This song is about an older man trying to get into the pants of a younger woman. They can't really relate to each other: she is young and probably giggly and only wants to dance to Disco, he is older, mellower and likes to dance to 60s R&B. He's kind of saying, "It's OK that we're different. We're here together right now. Let's just get nice and toasted on weed and tequila and see where things go..."

@@lantose But their sound wasn't even that good. That's some kind of myth. There is a lot of treble distortion on Aja, probably the TIM (transient intermodulation) that plauged many early transistor amplifiers. The first and 1975 albums have so much sound issues that Fagan refused to listen to them for 20 years. Many of the the songs on the 1973 album sounds much better though, for some reason. Ray Browns acoustic bass is very well captured for instance (think it was Razor boy).

I was at the show also. It was so good. It was kinda strange in a way that my brother and I are 56 and 58 yrs old and we were some of the youngest people attending the show. But then I had to remember I was about five or six when I first heard Steely Dan and their fan base was already 15 - 20, 25-30 years old at that time in the early '70s. I sometimes forget how old I am and how early I was exposed to music having very young parents and older siblings who were into music. We couldn't have had a better night at the Bowl to see such a great set of musicians and singers, perfect weather, great crowd amazing set list.

Its not sole survivors - its Soul Servivors. The Soul Survivors are an American, Philadelphia-based, soul and R&B group, founded by New York natives Richie and Charlie Ingui along with Kenny Jeremiah. The Soul Survivors are known for their 1967 hit single Expressway to Your Heart. In the 1970s, the group lost its record contract and its manager and eventually disbanded. Charlie Ingui became a landscaper, Richie Ingui became a house painter, Paul Venturini became a restaurateur, and drummer Joe Forgione owned an auto body shop.[ At that time, Steely Dan noted in their song Hey Nineteen: "It's hard times befallen the Soul Survivors".

This song is definitely a vibe! I remember hearing it as a child back in the days. I'm an aspiring dj that listens and plays all types of music but have never indulged in this song until now idk why. This song has been on repeat because I love the composition and musicianship and I like to find parts of a track that can be mixed with another song or transitioned to. Been digging through Steely Dan's discography and have discovered a track called "black cow" from their "Aja" album that was sampled by Peter Gunz and Lord Tariq "Deja Vu" (uptown baby) never knew this until now lol. But songs like this peaks my curiosity of who the artists are and what inspires the song and the meaning of the lyrics. But sometimes I like to just let it all be mysterious the song seems to not get old that way I think.

Steely Dan is, or was two college friends, Donald Fagan and Walter Becker(R.I.P.) who loved music and they had clicked and started writing and playing together and it turned out they were such genius writers and musicians that they got a record deal and they hired only the very best of the best studio session musicians and they never formed a band because they would literally use different musicians to play each instrument on each song. They would audition 3 or 4 guitar players just to play the guitar solo in one song finding the one player who caught that vibe and sound they wanted and that person would record his part in that one song and be done. They did this type of recording for 10 years or more and for four or so albums with a lot of big hits but never went on tour or played live anywhere ever. Because they didn't really know how they could pull it off without having two dozen musicians. They finally started touring live in the early 1990s almost 20 years after their first album. I think I was about six or seven years old when I first heard Steely Dan and Rikki Don't Lose That Number was the song that started me on the journey with their music. They are a band that musicians love and people who appreciate details and writing and musicianship and masterful playing of instruments. My friends thought I was weird because I love this band. I was a metal, punk rock, new wave, funk, and classic rock listener, but I listen to all music if it is good music.. They were such perfectionists with their recording they were known to spend 6 months on one song hiring and recording and firing and rerecording and then doing it again remixing almost to the point of insanity. Some musicians didn't like recording with the two leaders of the group because they were so picky and sometimes difficult to work with. Other times, if the musician had the sound they knew they wanted they would let that person do what came natural instead of trying to get them to play specific notes or with a sound they wanted. I just saw them in concert in May of this year at the Hollywood Bowl. One of my favorite bands and they were amazing.

This was the first song ever to have a fully programmable digital drum machine on it. SD's chief engineer Roy Nichols built it and called it Wendel. He recorded all the drum samples himself, and he helped Donald program the beats in the song, fills and all. This was at least 2 years before the Linn Drum drum machine came out.

Hey Lex, I love the dew rag on your head. Looks like Eddie Van Halen colors and pattern of his iconic guitar.

Having been listening to them for decades , saw them in concert in 2021 here in my town , Huntington NY. My older brother named his Daughter after the Aja album.

Now this takes me back to being 18 years old In 1980, they are a one of a kind feel good vibe band, top shelf musicians 😎

This band was so original and had the best lyrics which definitely made them stand out among other run-of-the-mill rock groups in the day. Love the jazzy funkiness they had too. Other awesome songs to try is Peg, Do It Again, Reelin' in the Years, Rikki Don't Lose that Number. thanks for sharing Brad & Lex :)

To me, this is a true life story. Being in in his mid thirties at a party. Getting hit on by a 19 year old lady. Telling himself no, but saying yes to her.

lex is looking particularly good today, love the head piece. I can see how that initial tone at the start of the song has the same effect on her as most all of us. it really gets you. sometimes I've played that initial 3 notes again and again then let the song play

Not only someone playing this in their headphones, but doing it while rollerblading around the lake.

Just a song about the idea that you can't regain your youth and you never understand the generation before you. It's a universal and timeless theme.
