Steely Dan – Everything you did
„Turn up the Eagles, the neighbours are listening“
ein Jahr später kam dann die wohl bekanntere Replik:
The Eagles – Hotel California
„They stab it with their steely knives but they just can’t kill the beast.“
Die Story dazu, historisch korrekt, gibts hier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP2Zt6-iwXs
Steely Dan – Parkers Band (gemeint ist Charlie Parker)
Savoy sides presents a new saxophone sensation
It’s Parker’s band with a smooth style of syncopation
Kansas City born and growing
You won’t believe what the boys are blowing
You got to come on man
And take a piece of Mister Parker’s band
You’ll be riding by, bareback on your armadillo
You’ll be grooving high or relaxing at Camarillo
Suddenly the music hits you
It’s a bird in flight that just can’t quit you
You got to come on man
And take a piece of Mister Parker’s band
We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance
Me and you will listen to
A little bit of what made the preacher dance
Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection
And if you can’t fly you’ll have to move in with the rhythm section
Either way you’re bound to function
Fifty-Second Street’s the junction
You got to come on man
And take a piece of Mister Parker’s
Clap your hands and take a piece of Mister Parker’s
Come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker’s band
