Another guy said “Steely Dan is your favorite bands favorite band “.

RIP Walter Becker, Thank You for all the wonderful music.

The Dan of Steel never ever gets old. They're perpetually fresh.

FYI: Michael McDonald is featured in the background vocals

This song gets everyone moving. Big part of me being a kid, sitting in the back as my mum drove us all around listening to the radio. True story: my mum was a single mum with two girls and we didn’t have a lot of money, but you could have fooled me as my mum has the richest imagination. She would yell “radio time” since we couldn’t afford one at home, so she would load us all into the car and we’d have sing-a-long to the radio mini-road trips, stop at some park for a picnic lunch she had made and it’s still one of the best memories I have. Shout out to all the single mums hustling with their imaginations....you are the best!

Dude Steely Dan is one of my all time favorite bands. Really can’t go wrong.

The problem with Steely Dan ... you never heard enough of them, they were one of those bands that you could listen to over and over and still come back for more. Thank you Jamel, many blessings.

Steely Dan was so far ahead of their time. Their greatness was underappreciated by most... including myself.

"Do it again" and "Deacon Blues" are a must.

There was a period where it seemed Michael McDonald was just hanging around studios, so people asked him to do some backing vocals, he's on so many songs -haha

It’s weird, once I found out it was Michael McDonald in the hook I hear him crystal clear now. Before I knew, it never dawned on me.

“Done up in blueprint blue...it sure looks good on you” Love the lyrics

Steely Dan have a unique sound. That the reason you don't get tired hearing this band. Also this song got Michael McDonald's on the background singing. Good music don't have expiration date👍🎶

"Peg" was heavily sampled on the 1989 De La Soul song, "Eye Know".

I was 15 sitting in the back seat of my uncles car, he was driving, friends in the car, joint being passed around, and I sing ‘it’s your favorite foreign doobie’...was really funny at the time. Steely Dan just great music. It never gets old like so many classic masterpieces.

The bass in this song is like another lead instrument, outstanding. I love how during the chorus Rainey does some poppin' and slappin'.

Watching your reactions makes me feel like I have a “music buddy” That’s how we used to listen to music “Back in the day.” 1070s and 1980s

“My old school” from steely dan is also good

The used the top musicians of the day to realize their music. Background vocals included Michael McDonald, Valerie Simpson, Clydie King, Patti Austin. The had the brilliant Bernard "Pretty" Purdie on drums on many cuts. The guitarists were people like Hugh McCraken, Jeff Beck, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter...and on and on. Fantastic players. Many times they would splice the best bits from each player to create a single instrument track. Becker and Fagen were perfectionists.

The GOAT Chuck Rainey on bass. Love that guy grooving with the drummer, the great Rick Marotta.

Black Cow... thats a song youll recognize. its been sampled in hip hop alot and my favorite steely dan jam

A couple of other awesome Steely Dan tracks are FM and Hey Nineteen.

I love watching Jamel enjoying Steely Dan , my favorite band of all time .

I'm glad you caught on to Steely Dan. You missed some years of loving this music!

They always play with the finest of session players. You'll get addicted if you keep listening to Steely Dan , brother. can you put Reelin in the Years next on your list. Or Hey Nineteen.

They have a Lot of songs that are on "EZ listening" radio today. They are more intricate than given credit for.

It’s great to see the reaction to songs from my youth. The world would be a better place with more Steely Dan.

I've always enjoyed watching people get excited about music, and your genuine, heartfelt responses, especially during the intro to this song in which that priceless expression of recognition and anticipation shines through, brings joy to my heart as well. Now that I see you have an appreciation for good music, might I suggest the song Moonlight Feels Right by Starbuck? This is quite possibly the most perfectly composed song ever written, and I'm sure you'd enjoy it...

I don't know which is more fun: you discovering a song I've heard all my life, or you realizing you already knew the song. With that in mind, please dig on Steve Miller Band, "Fly Like An Eagle." Super groovy song with a super groovy message, that certainly would have been playing next to this song at work. Be sure you find a version that includes the "Space Intro."

Also he says “Peg, it will come back to you”

*_'PEG'_** by STEELY DAN* -- I have heard this song DOZENS, probably SCORES of times, and had NO IDEA of its title or who performed it! Thank you _SO_ MUCH!

The Dan had it all together by this time. The vocals were "church".

Chuck Rainey bomb drops one of the best bass lines ever on this track.

Rick Marotta playing that slinky infectious groove. He is great on everything he plays on. Chuck Rainey on bass as well, listen to that line, pure magic.

Back when talent was required, very much unlike the music of today.

Aja is one of their baddest jams but steely's real magic is in the stories told in its lyrics. Drugs and loose women and more drugs are recurring themes

Steely Dan, "FM" and "Deacon Blues". You'll really dig them.

Michael MDonald from the Doobie Brothers singing lights out right there. Do some Doobies!

This guy is so joyous to watch rediscovering his youth - priceless!

Damn it Jamel, you're keeping me up past my bedtime enjoying your reactions!

Cool! If you're up for some more Steely Dan check out "Kid Charlemagne"

You’d love “what a fool believes” by Michael McDonald... he sings backup on this song- and many other steely dan songs.

One of the many things I love about Steely Dan is they don't even waste a syllable. It's way more interesting as "Peg" than just "Hey."

Peg was my introduction to Steely Dan. I fell in love with their music from that point!!

That is Michael McDonald (Doobie Bros.) on those buttery smooth background vocals.

MORE MORE MORE Steely Dan!!!....pretty please....with sugar on top.

Thank you young brother, for appreciating this classic 70's song, from one of the best bands period!, of the 70"s! This is when Real artists were created and discovered!!

I’m a Peg and I’m 70. And when I was a kid, I was honored to have my name in a cool song! Thank you, Mr. Jamel/Jamal❤️

I am certain others have suggested listening to “The Caves of Altamira,” so I am adding my voice to that request. It is a beautiful song.

Steely Dan never grows old on the ears -- timeless! Some other tracks for your consideration: Hey 19 Chained Lightening FM ...yeah...

This is honestly one of those songs that's so expertly crafted that you can't call it any less than perfect. Steely Dan is my favorite band of all time, but despite my bias they're literally one of the greatest bands of all time.

I know this song from De La Soul's "Eye Know"

My favorite part of this tune has always been that killer-ass bassline...so damn funky...just sick!

Steely Dan is the best. Please do more Steely Dan reactions ☝️

This and every other song on the “Aja” album are absolutely perfect. I couldn’t even pick a favorite among them. That’s a rare occurrence.

Steely Dan was perfection, way ahead of their time. Awesome one to pick a reaction to!!!!

Steely Dan, without question is simply "Groovy Music ". Every magnificent tune.

Oh, my, Steely Dan, FINALLY!! You've got to listen to "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" and "Pretzel Logic".... Sublime stuff, indeed.

This is the PERFECT song. I'm interested more than ever before....

Your reaction to one of my favorite songs makes me smile! Steely Dan is definitely an acquired taste, you either get it or you don’t.

Jay Graydon does the guitar solo. Look him up. He’s one of the unsung heroes of LA studio musicians.

"do it again","this old school","hey nineteen" are a few more classics by Steely Dan ☮️

I could just listen to the complete Steel Dan discography which I have on my phone and computer but I am having so much fun watching you discover this music I have loved so long for the first time. It makes it fresh again to me and reminds me of things I had forgotten.

You have to shake the dude who plays all the music at your jobs hand, he plays all the bops 🤣🤣🤣

Reading all the comments hours later, and seeing requests for almost every song they recorded, I can only add as a Dan Fan as well, that you really should dedicate a block of time to this band. Think about it please Jamel!

De La Soul sampled this song for their song "Eye Know". It's definitely worth a listen.

"Peeeeggg it will come back to you." When I first heard the song I was like you. I thought it was Heeeey come back to you...

I greatly appreciate seeing you shows love to these music of my generation! Too bad they don't make music like this anymore! Thank you! 💚

i taking my 65 year old dad to Steely Dan in July. i cant wait to see his face!

Steely Dan "FM"

Thank you Steely Dan for your songs, RIP Walter Becker and thank you jamel for your smile. steely Dan does the same thing to me since 35 years.

Love your enthusiasm and excitement . Allows me to relive the freshness even after having listened to this track on and off thousands of times over 40 years

Josie is a good one by Steely Dan.

This is easily one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. The lyrics, beat, melody, everything is just perfect.

I used to listen to "Aja" in my 75 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme on 8 track tape. I was going to college at Memphis State University aka University of Memphis in 1977.

You rock!! Of course you heard this before. It's legendary. My brother turned me on to Steely Dan in the 70's. He passed away suddenly 8 months ago at 62 years old and I'm sitting here crying watching you loving it. So bittersweet. Celebrate this song.

If you want to grow your channel, Steely Dan is a good way. Timeless and unique.

Need a full Steely Dan day

Steely Dan is the BEST!!! I’ve listened to them since the 70s. I live in Los Angeles, I’m African American and have seen them in concert 8 times! I introduced my son to them and he loves them too...and my son’s a jazz singer!

Another cool story about this song (other than M McDonald's backing vocals) is Jay Graydon's guitar solo. About 7 other studio guitarists had tried to nail it, including Walter Becker himself. They called Jay and in an 8hr session, he got it. Left the studio, Walter and Dan tell him, "Great, thanks". Next time Jay hears it, it is on the radio. Jay says, "oh cool, they used it for the single". Had no idea that was the take.

Again I am for "Don't take me alive" pure 🔥

"Summer Breeze" by Seals and Croft

I know that song ever word.....All they music is great.... That's all I like is 70's music.....❤❤❤

This was a 'heard it at work' track for me too. Its another experience hearing these 'work' tracks in good speakers too haha

I love almost all of their songs. Donald’s voice, the layers in their songs.

More Steely Dan songs. Reeling in the Years, My Old School, Bodhisattva, Do it Again, Kid Charlemagne, Deacon Blues, Hey Nineteen plus a lot of others. Great band and hope you check out some of these other songs.

When I was growing up in Milwaukee back in the 70's, I would hear this song on the radio station many times!!! I would thought this was a black group!!! When I was in the military, I started to listen to rap and De La Soul use this sample (Eye Know) and I usually listen to the original song and if I like it I would download the music!!! I was freaking stunned to find out that the duo were both white (true fact that Chevy Chase almost was part of this group)!!! No matter what the color of the skin as long as you make great music and have the ability to make people sing and dance then you're doing very great!!! Music as no color and to this day thanks to rap music and their sample. Steely Dan is one of the many favorite bands that I love back in the day!!!

I'm not only enjoying your reactions this music brings me right back to my childhood... I listen to all types of music...I love the bass in this song

Reel in’ in the years - Do it again - Black Friday - are great too!

I’ve always loved the bass line in this song.

Steely Dan is such a versatile band! Their sound was so transcending, that they crossed many musical styles and genres. Whatever style of music a listener desired, if could be found on one of the Steely Dan tracks. 💜💜🎤🎤🎶🎶🎹🎹🎼🎼

Steely Dan has joked often that they're "music to shop to" because it gets picked up in Muzak so much. lol

Reelin in the Years, Hey 19

I'm telling ya' you need to dive deep into Steely Dan. Awesome band. Some more songs - My Old School - FM - Deacon Blue

One of the coolest bands in the 1970s & 80s. You guys from the millennium age finally see what you were missing!!

Peg is my favorite Steely Dan song... we are now seriously grooving.

While you're doing Steely Dan, you should check out "Josie" or "Deacon Blues" from the same album (AJA) or Pretzel Logic. I love the way you embrace the music you're listening to. Good job man. Greetings from the UK :-)

De La Soul sampled Peg for the song “Eye Know”

Steely Dan just brings warmth and joy to my heart.

This band is too smooth. ❤️❤️
