This song has only one chord which I find very unorthodox for a Steely Dan song. This song just grooves effortlessly despite no progression and there seems to be so much going on. Anyone catch the Reelin in the Years riff at the "They got the Steely Dan t-shirt"? I know you all did!
@Danfan But the song is modal, so the bass line gives it that modality. Add the fact that Derringer's solo is one half note sharper than the key, yet it all fits, shows you how genius these guys can be
