Zanzibar Lyrics

Lyric discussion by magpi1 

Cover art for Zanzibar lyrics by Billy Joel

Supposedly this song was written as a response by Billy to the Steely Dan album, The Royal Scam. There are some really wierd (for Billy Joel) chord progressions in it that apparently were an homage to Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (Steely Dan)

Wow. By suggestion, that makes some sense. Where did you hear that? I could definitely see Becker and Fagen doing this, both musically and lyrically.
