Donald Fagen – Good Stuff Lyrics 6 years ago
This song tells a story of a gang member working for an unnamed "boss". The person seems to be a kind of gunman who doesn't asks questions but just does whatever he is told to do. However, he is uneasy in relation to women, esp. his affair/girlfriend Julie and more confident to get his "marching orders" by the boss and use his skills concerning whatever he needs to do (which includes killing oposing people/hijacking convois).

You would expect this kind of lyrics embedded in a hiphop/gangsta-rap-like pattern. In my opinion the probably well calculated contrast of the grim lyrics and the easy-jazz sound including cheery female backing-vocal and groovy vibraphone makes this song spicy and special. It is one of my favorite Donald Fagan tracks.
