FIRST TIME HEARING Steely Dan - Do It Again REACTION

[@shelleylyle1017]

I LOVE THIS KINDA REACTION You're GIVING HIM WISDOM AND MUSIC ALSO BRINGS WISDOM

[@edwardcrews2952]

Thier first hit. They are legends

[@dii6266]

The one and only Steely Dan. This one sounded good tonight. Thanks for letting it run as much as possible.

[@mariaakcelik8559]

"Do It Again", is the first song of Steely Dan's debut album, 1972 "Can't Buy A Thrill", great album each song is different.

[@Maizerus]

Been listening to this song 40+ years, never realized until watching with you what the lyrics were EXACTLY about... now I know. It's about the cycle of loving-and-losing a bad habit (whether that bad habit be bad girls or just addictive shit like gambling like he uses), then you rinse, wash, repeat. Moral of the story, some people never learn or admit they have an issue.

[@George-kv6gm]

Exactly. Same here, never knew before. Sometimes it's easier to do the same stupid things over and over than to make the effort to change. In the same vein, it's most likely people will do the same stupid things again!

[@simonpanter3627]

The first verse refers to the system putting people right back out on the street and them just doing the same thing again. He says ' But the hang man isn't hanging, so they put you on the street.

[@Chase-yf7lu]

That's a long time to be listening to music still young at 28 but Steely Dan is pretty awesome. Didn't realize fully what the song was about till I saw your comment either though can't remember when I found out about them but it's been atleast 5 years of occasional listening whenever it crosses my mind and I'm in the mood. Glad to see other people watching someone experience music definitely makes the music a fresh experience when going through it. Peace.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Boom..great reaction.

[@davidsweet9163]

One of the instruments was a Electric Sitar. It was used on a lot of songs in the 60's and 70"s

[@Chase-yf7lu]

Going through your videos rn glad I found another interesting music reaction to watch. Thanks for the content and cool to see your friend involved. Steely Dan definitely has a timeless vibe can't remember how I found out about them but its always cool to see other people experience it. Peace.

Total vibe from start to finish. Thanks for playing the long version. This song is about vices. Perhaps my favorite tune of all.

[@benjaminede6196]

I got into Steely Dan about 15 years ago and I’m 48 now. Their music is amazing,incredibly well done and I personally don’t think that they had a bad song in all their songs! Just awesome 👏👏👌👌

If you've been to their concerts, so many musicians come to see them. Pure genius and sampled by many.

I believe what he was referring to was the adjunct definition of insanity which describes it as repeating the same action while expecting different results.

[@mattjohn4731]

Steely Dan does it again 💥🎵🎹🎸

[@jacqueline4514]

Hands down my favorite group (duo, really) ❤️ They hit EVERY button; smooth, jazzy, funky, intelligent and sometimes snarky lyrics, tight production, huge catalogue, PERFECT. I could throw out 20 songs that are equally as good as this one. “Jack of Speed, “Caves of Altimira, Peg, Don’t Take Me Alive”, “The Royal Scam”, “Hey Nineteen”, the list goes on and on!!! 🔥

[@staceycraft3514]

It's nice to see your brother liking these songs too, good job.

[@G00dwILLHuNt1n9]

This is classic track. The strange thing is that no one has done a proper cover of this with a hard jam as it def is a good one tune to jam to.

[@kimberlyturk3915]

How impressive to see someone try to mentor our children. Its sonething that appears to be sorely lacking today. Nobody seens ti wanna bother trying to teach our children. When they have to learn it themselves, its painful. What better way to try & reach them than with music? Puts them on your level & they feel like you respect their opinion. Not lecturing or talking down to them. I had a large, loving family but no one tryed to talk to me. I was lost. I didnt understand how the world worked & I never got in step. I was responsible & suppirted myself but I made all the wrong choices, burned my bridges. You cant go back. I,ve never married or had children. Wonder how different my life wd have been if someone mentored me? God bless you! Thank you. He is blessed to have you for a brother.

[@shirleycollins6241]

Steely Dan is a vibe! Gotta check out more- Black Cow, Peg, Deacon Blues, Hey Nineteen & Josie are some of their great hits.

You can narrow everything down to one LP and that's Steely Dan's AJA. It's been sampled so many times, especially in hip hop. Crazy huh.💯🇺🇸☕😎 Y'all Be Cool ✌️☮️

[@robertwarner8026]

I was at Rutgers Newark campus and the only white kid in my dorm suite out of the six of us. Peter Guns/Lord Tariq uptown baby was the hit of the summer on hot 97. When I played them Black Cow by Steeley Dan they were instant fans and we all became great friends through this music. This was back in 96

[@E.Kim_Style]

Great song. So your brother can see a few videos with some instruments, You should show your brother Bruce Hornsby playing piano in "The Way It Is"...Christopher Cross-"Sailing' with guitar, piano, chimes...and the group Chicago always has a ton of instruments in their songs.

[@knightngail1]

Steely Dan is always a good choice! 💞

I live in Vegas and when I get on the road headed to LA through the desert this is the music I have blasted in my car. Great tunes 🎶🎵🎼

STEELY DAN, "DO IT AGAIN". Should of recognized the Grooviest sound the 60's, and 70'Ss . Their hits are astounding. More vibes.. "REELIN IN THE YEARS", "RICKY DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER", "DIRTY WORK", "DEACON BLUES", PEG", " BONAVISTA", "HEY NINETEEN", "JOSIE", "F.M. / NO STATIC AT ALL", "BLACK COW", "BLACK FRIDAY"

[@rosshart9514]

Add another 100+ SD songs in caps to your list to make it complete

[@Michael-xj6qt]

Absolutely

[@Chase-yf7lu]

Not sure if their the best since there was a lot of solid competition back then as far as music goes Steely Dan is definitely a lot groovier but my favorite from that period would probably be Trex but that's just one of many. Can definitely see why you'd say that though glad you enjoyed the reaction as much as I did. Music is pretty magical as far as being an easy way to have fun and enjoy yourself. KZbin can be boring occasionally but music is always a worthwhile option. Have a good one.

I think youll like some Steely Dan!

[@Spazzmatazzz]

Your brother was correct about blowing across a jug. That's used in jug bands and sometimes bluegrass music. Dig a little deeper in Steely Dan and you'll be amazed!

[@johntremmel3949]

It was a sitar an India version of a guitar with a very distinct sound, and your brother was correct the definition of insanity is to do the same thing repeatedly and expect different results,

[@eximusic]

Not a sitar, it was a guitar called an Electric Sitar by Coral/Danelectro. Nothing Indian about it. Just has a buzz bridge like a sitar's jiwari to make the strings buzz and "sound" like a sitar. Other than that it's 6 strings and tuned standard guitar tuning. Sitar's are completely different. It's a guitar.

[@clintonsmith5163]

Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results seems more like the definition of stubbornness, rather than insanity. To me, insanity is being unable to distinguish between the rational and the irrational, the real and the unreal.

This is the only band that I like everyone of their songs. There is some thing great going on in all of them. This band was me and my homies stoner band back in the 70s when I was a teen. I have heard pretty well ever rock band that put shit out on vinyl and ya man every song is fire some where in there. Dig in to these dudes man. Head phones a nice reclining chair a room lit by a 55 gallon and a nice joint lol and Steely Dan blasting is my idea of heaven. Spent hrs and hrs blasting these guys. Great band. RIP Walter Becker.

I did not know for the longest time that the singer on this song was not Donald Fagen or Walter Becker. Still not sure of his name but it's the only song he sings on and if you know more about this guy please let us know. If you don't mind. What happened to him? What a nice introduction to the Steely Dan band. Got me hooked. Their next tune Reeling in the Years was definitely Donald.

[@MichaelTrogdon1990]

Donald Fagen is the singer on Do It Again. You must be thinking of David Palmer, who did sing on "Dirty Work" and "Brooklyn".

[@jacksonmorganfroghin4815]

@@MichaelTrogdon1990 Thank you, Michael. Apparently I was misinformed. I had heard that Palmer sang the lead on Do it Again on the Midnight Special but I just read on Google that Fagen sang on the album. So thanks for clearing that up.

Keep in mind your brother is jumping in, he didn't have the slow evolution that you did into different music. I think he's doing pretty good for just hopping in!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Not only that but I really liked his references. He identified kind of a Jug Band sound which I thought was interesting and it means he has quite a bit of musical knowledge. And then his reference to that popular saying about how the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results.

[@emanuellawton7942]

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is an example of insanity( "You go back jack, do it again").
