[Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] What do [G] you think? _ _
_ Like that, _ the instrumental part,
_ that is like one of my most favorite sounds ever.
_ _ [Bb] _ 70's, [N] funky, groovy, rock, _ _ blues.
The piano rhythm.
The piano was wide open.
_ Wide open for that guitar solo. _
I love it.
I miss the Boston.
Bring it back.
Whoever he is, whatever he is.
What do you think that means?
I think it means whatever you want it to mean.
In the way that it just means bring back something that was underrated at the time.
Tell your people it's no drag.
I know you're not into it, but it's good.
You know what I mean?
_ I don't think it actually has to do with Boston.
They had a whole verse.
They were talking about some girl in Bayside.
They're on [C] 7th Ave and shit.
I don't even think they're in Boston.
They're [B] still in New York.
_ I don't _ think it literally has to do with Boston.
I think it's symbolic of something.
Yeah. _ _
It does start out, when he does start to sing it,
it's like he is going [D] down memory lane.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I have no idea.
_ _ Only they know.
Yeah.
_ _ Or some of you people know.
Tell us if you know.
_ They usually do know in the comments.
They really educate us on what Steely Dan is about.
There is so much Steely Dan knowledge to have.
Yes.
_ _ Like always, the instruments were just on point.
The whole _ vibe and atmosphere is so _ quintessentially Steely Dan.
If there was no lyrics or anything,
I feel like I would know this is Steely Dan if I heard it.
Interesting.
I _ wonder.
_ _ _ [N] _ Shout out to them for really honing their sound.
Now that we're going through the albums,
we can kind of see it.
The progression to the album that we checked out first.
_ _ Also, I really like them because you don't exactly know
where _ _ _ _ their notes are going to go.
You don't know what you're going to get.
Yeah.
That's definitely true. _
_ _ Shout out to Steely Dan.
Shout out to the Boston rag.
_ _ Track 3 on Countdown to Ecstasy.
Exactly.
If you don't know, we're reacting to the entire album.
Check out the other videos. _
_ Speaking of albums,
was I going to say something about an album?
I thought I was.
We have an album.
_ It just came out on 10-15-20.
The link for it will be down in the comments.
Have a listen. _
_ Tell us what you think.
Even if you think we suck. _
Tell us if we should do a reaction video to it.
We should do a reaction video to [Em] our own album.
_ _ _ _ Also, _ like and subscribe and all that other bullshit.
_ _ We're doing this whole album.
The next [A] song is Your Gold Teeth.
_ _ _ _ _ I'm already into it.
We'll see you there.
