Everything You Did Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ChiTownHustler 

Cover art for Everything You Did lyrics by Steely Dan

The shot at the Eagles (of which, except for a few tunes of theirs, I agree with Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski's attitude towards them) led the Eagles to write in "Hotel California,":

"They stab it with their STEELY knives but they just can't kill the beast..."

In keeping with the "scurvy brother" concept of a lot of Dan songs, I get the feeling our subject of "Everything You Did" in a VERY creepy way wants his cheating lover to show him how she pleased the other lover. Especially with the last line, "Now you're gonna do me everything you did, baby."

@ChiTownHustler I’m sure that’s a shot at The Eagles — who deserve shots — but I kind of don’t get it. Can someone explain how this is an insult to them? Is it just that The Eagles were mainstream and everywhere at the time, so your boring neighbors probably like them? Is that it?
