Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan

[@jackscratch785]

Damn! I love being old! Love remembering these great songs. All this new music will not be around in the future but the 70's music will live on

[@jameswright2960]

Jack Scratch YEP!

[@kristinhaskins1668]

I'm SO living in the past... :-( I do NOT want to know-and don't want to believe-that so many of these artists are GONE...!! It seems like such a short time ago...Time can really bite.

[@yyz4761]

Such an amazing and wonderful song. Never gets old. Pure genius.

[@edwardsholar9730]

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were lyrical and musical geniuses.

[@shoulderlift]

Man, how I love this song and how I love Steely Dan! I will never get tired of listening to this gem!

[@edwardsholar9730]

Gem is a good word to describe this song.

[@nightnurse1178]

One of favorite groups. They're music just puts me in a great mood. I listen to them while getting ready for work, on long drives and when I just want to mellow out. Awesome group.

[@edwardsholar9730]

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker are national treasures.

[@A47919]

Thank you for being a nurse! Your profession is invaluable. As for Steely Dan, not only were their melodies beautiful and the arrangements tasteful; the lyrics often displayed incredible wit and intelligence. Far superior to today's so-called "music," which is abysmal in comparison. Sure glad I got to see Steely Dan in concert!

[@monicamayo-james5833]

Sweet '70's and 80's. This is when music was MUSIC!!!! No vocalizers and synthesized voices. Just musicians doin' their thing. I was shocked to find out that Michael McDonald and Tyran Porter of the Doobie Brothers came from this group.

[@allenanderson7082]

michael mcdonald jeff baxter and Cornelius Bumpus not Tiran

[@Shogo35209]

Music then did more to unite and heal than ANY senator or diplomat...that lady was great!👍👏

[@junebug29]

Don Fagan and Steely Dan, are among the best talent the world has ever seen. That is my opinion! I enjoy their music always have. The best.

[@jahdonkey]

+junebug29 steely dan and little feat do it for me. everybody else might as well pack up and go home - they will never be bettered. :-)

[@jamesboyd1335]

So much soul in their music...don't get any better than this...memories of WJMI in Jackson,Mississippi

[@edwardsholar9730]

Memories of Winston-Salem, NC.

[@Burt472]

One of the best Bands of all times.......Beautiful music and the most intelligent and humorous lyrics ever.

[@A47919]

To paraphrase a lyric from the Spinners' Rubberband Man: "So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one band."

[@summerbreeze5438]

I'll always have a spot in my heart for Steely Dan...

[@Shogo35209]

THANK YOU STEELY DAN!! I lived through Vietnam and the rest and you helped me make! All the best!!!!

[@daflotsam]

That last chorus section can just ring in my head all day and never get old. Make tonight a wonderful thing indeed.

[@sandytonkin4753]

Such a wonderful song! And oh so true!! I was so lucky to grow up with this magical music. Love it thanks!

[@somkidkhembanjong3420]

Sandy Tonkin me too

[@lauraswihart8018]

Me too, we are blessed!

[@getguakboy]

When I was 8, my aunt moved in with us...Every Friday, we would eat pizza, drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, & listen to the "Gaucho" album...To this day, I call it "The Beer & Pizza" album...Lol...Great music!...

[@georgedowdye2975]

A very original and creative song. Makes me tremble to think how good music used to be. Sad that one passed today.

[@edwardsholar9730]

There will never be another group like the one that Donald Fagen and Walter Becker put together.

[@danielbelardino7662]

MY BAND! THE BEST.. RIP WALTER😢🎶🎶so glad i got to see them..and on another note..some of Joni Mitchell's(huge fan) jazz music reminds me of THE DAN .

[@edwardsholar9730]

They were cut from the same cloth.

[@philiptucci2458]

very beautiful song, great music & memories of life, top of the line band

[@edwardsholar9730]

The best and most creative.

[@rocketman63]

20 is still the first chapter in the book of life. Don't be sad. No matter how bad things may seem on the surface, you can make your life an adventure. I'm soon looking at 50, and everything just makes me feel old, jaded, and tired. I miss the '70s and '80s so much.

[@yasmincharlottetreble618]

This song reminds me of my father and sister who adored this song way back when in the 80s

[@edwardsholar9730]

This was one of the best songs of the eighties.

[@yasmincharlottetreble618]

Yes,it really was 😎🎼🎵

[@jamesboyd1335]

Pure straight up funky blue-eyed soul with a jazzy rock touch...is that good enough description

[@edwardsholar9730]

You described them perfectly.

[@thomasrothwell2728]

My son turns 19 today, and I just played part of this tune in his voicemail...gotta love life, please take me along! Thanks for posting ! ! !

[@DaveWollenberg]

Donald and Walter hit #10 in Billboard, 2-14-81. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[@paulrisdon8106]

That first chord just sends shivers up my back

[@allears9963]

Paul Risdon me too...so fukn cool!!

[@jamesbannon6443]

this song is one of the songs that MOST radio stations have forgotten about which is an absolute shame because this is a fantastic song

[@edwardsholar9730]

Most radio stations have forgotten quality music.

[@bobroberto2654]

Amen, Amen to that! The beats, melodies, musicianship, harmony, quirky, and sometimes deep, lyrics -,,don't get them any more. Is anyone out there like me who can't help but sing along with any of their choruses? I bet I'm not alone.

[@luthervaughn1]

Rob...Bob. Bobby boy, man bun bobby...I'm here 9 years later. Letting YOU know. You're not alone my friend. I'm here with you.

[@chris080270]

Steely Dan hit #10 on Billboard Hot 100 on 2/14/81. Thanks for posting it! :)

[@jeffreyhancock8831]

Always nice to hear this....brings back so many memories....cruisin' to Atlantic City for the day...doobie burnin'....car bumpin'...yea.....

[@rocketman63]

Such a funny, bittersweet song. Reminds me of an old, dear friend of mine who fell in love with a much younger woman. I think he was 32 at the time, and she was 18 or 19. There was a definite generation gap. Incredibly different people, but very in love. They took all the ribbing in good humor. He's 55 now, they've been married over 20 years and their kids are grown up. This song has been like the perfect soundtrack for their love. It reminds me of this special couple and makes me smile.

[@jeffreygallegos7383]

What an awesome and classy song!!!! One of my all time favorite songs!!! Reminds me of a very beautiful girl named Corrine I was romancing back in the 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adamrohrer2739]

I saw there guys roughly a year ago at Chastain Park in my home home town of Atlanta, Georgia, and it was by far one of the greatest nights of my life.

[@edwardsholar9730]

I got to see them in Boston and Connecticut a few weeks ago. Those were two great shows.

[@HoldenBlackcreek]

I know the feeling and it is quite the blast from the past and memory however whichever way it comes to memory usually through a great classic like this from back in the day it is good to hear they are still going strong ! Be well

[@vincenthawkins686]

I can drive to this all night long!!! Dope music is dope music!!!!

[@maxgalarza9955]

The coolest song ever....

[@lashaisrael2151]

Remember this on CD101.9 missed those radio days!

[@yyz4761]

I remember when F.M. radio was magical.

[@jimcross7065]

This band are my life love them to bits, fortunately I have seen them play live in the UK twice, hey boys how about a trip out to Cyprus, I will be on the front row..

[@edwardsholar9730]

Steely Dan, one of the most complex, talented and mesmerizing bands of all-time.

[@jdangerously80]

i truly love the song, thank u for the vid,as someone who is 30,i definitely wast around in those days,but i can definitely say that the times since, have become much darker,not only in music which i love so much,but in many other areas as well,unfortunately i fear that this darkness ,will be percieved by many to be light,if one allows it,the choice is up to us as individuals,to not be decieved

[@jamesboyd1335]

They use to play this on WJMI in Jackson,Mississippi every night...nothing but a soulful groove going on here...my goodness

[@thebeacondeacon]

A feast for the eyes, as well as the ears. Thanks!

[@mylife19745]

This song reminds me of cruising down the streets of Seattle as a kid, in my dad's pinto on a warm summer day... I would look up through the sunroof at the tops of the skyscrapers... We would make our way to a little sandwich shop over in the U-district and get some grinders... End up at Gasworks Park and eat our lunch watching all the boats go by... Lots of great memories...

[@qualiqueancrum9135]

Awesome song thank goodness I heard it on the radio in Colorado.

[@MountainBoppin]

+Qualique Ancrum Colorado pride.

[@PixiePal2454]

Par for the course...just like so many other songs I've listened to and liked/loved, I couldn't understand all of the words, you guys really opened my eyes about this one. Thanks, I think.......

[@nowhere991]

I was 19, in "82" but I joined the Corps, I dances and cried through this song just by listening. It made all better, (2) canteen showers, once a week flown in hot-chow, and mail. Most of all: Bullets/water/sleep! Then is in the pasted: Today I am at ASU: Senior, Geo-Urban Planning. What a life, I love it. Traveled the world & eliminated negatives, and I was allowed, then transition to civvies.

[@Jilliansw]

One of my favorite songs of all times!

[@jacquelineiona1996]

Hi to all fans! Firstly... I never knew those lyrics til now (Cuervo, etc) so thank you for that... and this song caught my British Nu Wave music loving ear back then because I was 19 😊 I noticed right away that smooth highly produced sound that made me appreciate the song! Quality shines 😘

[@yamax1]

oh yeahh I was 19 when I heard this song the first time in 1981 and I must admit I was in love.... great tune......

[@rdawg0512]

The tom roll & cymbal crash are what I love about this wonderful, wonderful jam.

[@thewhitesmith]

my dad sent me a text today, "hey nineteen. happy birthday". Love this song!

[@axedaddyx]

Sublime...Delicious, and Funky Brilliance......just oh sooooooo Wow, a truly Sublime....Funky and Delicious piece of Music....here is Beautiful Brilliance ! How can you not love this tune and Steely Dan ? Impossible !

[@TheDaniel2483]

this song went to #10 on the pop charts in 1981!!!

[@miguelangelguerrerozamora3189]

Is a very good song, I think it must have reached number one

[@11dsw]

Recorded in 1978

[@jamesboyd1335]

Yes,it did

[@ve2cnl]

This great song remember Me late '70s in a 1971 Marquis I bought, the car was rotted, not in street, but BIG radio and equalizer-booster in it, in the night with a 24 beers on the back seat with a couple of friends, I was 14 years at this time, great memories :)

[@janiegarces1300]

Dominique Roux That sounds so Cool! 😊

[@Edarkangel41]

I love Steely Dan! This music is so soothing,good for the soul!

[@stersnevet77]

19 is old enough to do whatever the heck you want. Plus it's an amazing song. Kind of a funky jam. Also, hats off to MemphTenn for the video. His daughter is now about 21 so...well, there's that. The girl in the video at the point where Fagan says "nice" is absolutely the best face for the song and for that moment. Perfect.

[@irenestanciel]

this song is an all time classic... I will always love this song....im a 70s baby

[@bigtimmy7846]

I love this classic Rhodes 73 sound.

[@edwardsholar9730]

It is a classic.

[@mobilebars]

Brought back here because of R.I.P.D but this tune has never been forgotten.

[@janiegarces1300]

Best music best years of my life, My Youth!!!! Steely Dan, an many more!!. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@schnellguy]

This is as good as it gets! Great Memories.

[@boolshmool]

Been a huge hip hop fan for 19 years now. Deluded as well maybe, I've shunned other genres thinking that rap was the ultimate to me. It might be the ultimate expressive music, but this stuff is the ultimate, all around timeless type of music I've been in search of for years. Took me a long ass time to find Steely Dan, there have been other artists that kind of swayed me, But not close to this at all. Hope hip hop heads will keep an open mind, hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot, lol. peace.

[@kathmandoo]

Mate - you are NOT alone, Steely in all their formations are a class act. Not only musically brilliant but superb melody. Live on

[@Gem0674]

I love them 😍 this is my theme song!! Hey 19 💫

[@edwardsholar9730]

They were one-of-a-kind.

[@baileylampshire352]

Rest in peace, Queen of Soul!

[@adriannadel123]

When you listen to this...and then you hear that shit they call music on the radio....Mmph!

[@edwardsholar9730]

I must agree.

[@curvy71]

[@Nati8410]

I was born the last year of the stone age. Grew up listening to the Dan and a lot of other good music, but mostly the Dan.

[@EvetteDiaby]

[@ellipsisman]

Excellent, thanks; my daughter's nineteenth was yesterday.

[@peacefulmatthew]

I met a girl whom thought the song was named "May 19" for her birthday & I loved a girl born on May 19. I was also able to catch Steely Dan at Red Rocks a few years ago amazing show thanks guys:)

[@MGMLioness]

i just posted this to my daughter's FB in honor of her 19th birthday... and THEN i noticed the description that you did the same thing 8 years ago :D

[@piaebony327]

When I listen to songs like these, I still get to dance with my Nanna even though she's gone.......
