Fagen: ” ’Through With Buzz' was just about a more-or-less platonic relationship between two young people. There's nothing really sexual about it until one, of the young people in the relationship realizes he's being used and starts having paranoid fantasies and breaks off the relationship. There's no symbolism or anything. We never used puns.
"It's a very saccharine sounding track with a very cynical lyric. We often do that for an ironic purpose. That is to juxtapose a rather bitter against rather sweet music."

@bunglero When Fagen is saying "We never used puns", it means that they do use puns. This phrase is the main pun.
