I am another gentleman loser, drive me to harlem

[short bus president]

;-)

Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now

Tell me where are you driving
Midnite cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we been waiting too long

Tell me where are you driving
Midnite cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

3. Indeedily, neighborino!

It's a fine way to open one's eyes on an otherwise fairly mundane Wednesday.

:D

[Phillycat]

2. Ah, Steely Dan...

It's a Steely Dan kind of day, I think.

4. I finally got the box set ripped and encoded.

This could be a whole day of the Dan. Sweet!

;-)

[Richardo]

6. Yes please!

:thumbsup:

[Richardo]

5. There's an interview question for ya, janesez...

Explain the following:

"Have you ever seen a squonk's tears? Well look at mine.
The people on the street have all seen better times."

[Phillycat]

8. And please show your work.

And give me the results in an Excel spreadsheet. :)

7. I hear the call of the Dan

12. Gawd, I remember driving home from work

down flatbush avenue and kings highway, listening to this song over and over, and looking goofy as all hell trying to emulate some of the falsetto "mee-eeee-EEEE" things towards the end. Music and memories - powerful stuff.

13. Anybody got a line of whatever happened to David Palmer?

[Bossy Monkey]

17. Last seen in a 70s band called Wha-Koo

Seems to have gone into the backup vocalist business:

Tough one; you'd think it would have been on Steely Dan's FAQ.

I get the impression

that there are some hard feelings between the guys & some of the musicians who have worked with them over the years. Could be that's why... who knows?

[Richardo]

11. Then 'Dirty Work' or 'Only a Fool Would Say That'...

The only song I don't like so much is 'Do It Again'. Overplayed and the rest of the material is so much better...

[redqueen]

14. Ahhhhhhhh

Sweet!

:thumbsup:

[Itascapark]

15. Glad to see another early morning

Dan fan...have a feeling this may turn into a daily thing, so stick around.

[tilsammans]

16. Another DAN FAN here . . .

My favorite album is "Katy Lied," and my favorite song is "Any World That I'm Welcome To."

Keep it comin'!

18. Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell ya

there's not much better listening for a slow Wednesday early afternoon. ;-)

[HEyHEY]

19. I remember that terrible night

[yellowdogintexas]

20. My Steelies are in the car and it is pouring down rain but

I may have to go out and get them after this.

No road trip is complete without Steely Dan!!!!
