| Steely Dan – Do It Again Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| My thoughts too - very simple and self-explanatory lyrics here - nothing really mystic about it. Good call. | |
| The Spinners – I'll Be Around Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
To me this is one of a handful of real timeless classics - a song where the music, lyrics, arrangement, musicianship and production just clicked well. Every time I hear it on the radio or tv the volume always get cranked up. I so identified with the song's lyrics many times years ago in my young adulthood. A lot of guys I'm sure could relate to it at least once in their life. But until recently I didn't realize the last couple lines of lyrics took it from being about a hurt, but gallant and noble guy who just got dumped pledging his love and support and his desire to reunite with the woman who dumped into kind of a creepy (IMO) stalker kind of guy. "Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there EVEN IF I HAVE TO CALL, I'll be there I'll be around... Just call me on the phone, I'll be there I'll NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE, I'll be there Just call out my name, I KNOW, I KNOW YOU KNOW I'll be around..... I'll be STANDIN' IN A COFFIN, I'll be there I'LL BE RIPPIN' IT UP, I'll be there I'LL BE CALLING OUT YOUR NAME TO LET YOU KNOW I'LL BE AROUND..... |

| Steely Dan – Reelin' In The Years Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Kind of off the mark a bit... all the references you noted... "Endless Summer", "Happy Days" and even disco did happen until at least 1974. Song has nothing to do with commercial nostalgia... perhaps some Fagen/Becker personal nostalgia or melancholy. | |
| Steely Dan – Everyone's Gone to the Movies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Nope it's "cheaters" - got it from lyrics posted at the Steely Dan official site - http://www.steelydan.com/lyrkaty.html Fagen and Becker once said in an interview that its about sniffing glue... but then again we know how cagey the guys can be with interviewers. |
