| Steely Dan – Pixeleen Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Bought this album (CD) in 2003. Loved this song from day one. Interesting melody - very. And the girl - with the alternate melody - most excellent. And the harmonies. Love it. So fast forward to 2013 - I actually read the lyrics 2nite; never could understand what they were singing about when I'd listened to the song for the last 10 yrs in the car. What a surprise!!! It's kind of a joke? Geeeez - had no idea what this song was about. I'm the epitome of - "listen to the tune and the way the words sound with the music - who cares what they're singing about!" Basically I never know what they're singing about. In fact - there was a 70s song "I saw your face and that's the last I seen of...." I had been singing "...MY HORSE". So I asked my better half - what did that poor man do such that his girl wouldn't let him hang out with his horse anymore? She said "WHAT?". So I jumped back into the ongoing chorus "...I saw your face and that's the last I seen of my horse!" HOLEY MOLEY girlfriend laughed her aysss off. OMG - it was 2012 when I finally learned HORSE is not a word in that song. So 36 yrs I been singing the wrong lyric there? Point is - if I could mess up that simple song from 1976, how in hell could I ever be expected to make sense of all that's going on in Pixeleen? |
