The solo section (I believe Denny Diaz on guitar) is incredible in this song. I have an outtakes version on cassette that has Donald Fagan talking in the studio during the solo and after one chorus (of the solo) he yells, "holy fuck, take another one. And thus the second chorus of the solo is born!

I suppose the Charlie-Brown-esque main part of the song is nice, but it's the power chords in the intro that got me hooked.
Danfan: it could be analyzed as 6/4 or 4/4 alternating with 2/4 during the verses, but it meanders in and out of several time signatures.

I'd say 6/8 with a few two-count measures thrown in to keep it interesting. The main tune is all basic chords in that rambling triplet feel.

The intro is jazz...beyond me, bu cool in an avant-garde way.
