Steely Dan - Babylon Sisters ( REACTION )

[@joannparker1977]

Bernard Purdie on drums showcasing the complicated drum rhythm he created: the half high hat (Purdie Shuffle). Brilliance!

[@markstromberg1148]

So true. Try performing this to see how truly, technically challenging it is. It is genius!

[@melvinwagner3989]

@@markstromberg1148 I saw a videowhere Bernard Purdie showed this "shuffle" and how it played. He made it look effortless and extraordinary at the same time.

[@katnewton6475]

This is by far the best steely song there is. And anyone listening to this to comment (even though I'm a 41 year old bird who is in love steely) love the fact that this song is now being listened to today. And it's funny. I listening to steely all night long and sent their songs to my old boss then heard this song on crackers radio. Never in my life have I heard it played on a radio station. Donald fagen is a genius. The sessions musicians he has used over the years as well as the sampling that big artists have taken proves how talented and big they are. And not to not give Walter Becker the credit he deserves when he really does deserve it too. I saw them play in Charlotte in NC about 10 years ago. Mind-blowing. This band is honestly the most creative, and most lyrically talented and also melodically band that has ever existed. No one will ever come close!!!!!! X that's without saying how talented donald fagen is too and how great he is with 'kamakiriad' the guy is an absolute genius! X

They started in New York and migrated to the west coast. They just kept getting jazzier as the years rolled by.

[@misplacedsouthern1236]

Steely Dan is fantastic! Great easy music with horns! ❤

[@TheDivayenta]

I think that’s Bernard Purdie on drums doing his famous “ Purdie Shuffle” and the great Brecker Brothers on horns.

[@robertgosselin14]

Bernard Purdie showcasing his “Purdie Shuffle” throughout most of the song. Perhaps the greatest but certainly the most recorded session drummer in recorded music. Phenomenal.

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

The following is mostly cut and paste from a summary I wrote for another reactor, but I really do believe knowing the possible meaning of the song enhances the listening pleasure. Obviously I edited little bits which didn't relate to your reaction and added parts which did. Okay, so lyrical interpretation on this one gets to be a lot of fun. First, "Babylon by the bay" is another name for San Francisco, and San Fran is mentioned in the song, so, "Babylon sisters" is thought by many to be a pair of sisters from San Francisco, and a love triangle, hence the "love's not a game for three." Some have even suggested they might be twins. Others believe the Babylon Sisters are the two cities themselves of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Others still believe both to be true and Fagen meant Babylon Sisters to be a double entendre. That's my belief. Fagen really is a master, and it makes WAY more sense if he meant Babylon Sisters to be both the cities themselves, AND two ladies with whom he had 3 way. The song opens, however, with a drive down Sunset Blvd. towards the ocean--one of the true delights to drive in L.A. or so my friends from there tell me. You said you're from LA, so maybe you could weigh in on this. It's debated whether Fagen is talking about already being with one of the sisters? Or both? Is he about to have a menage-a-tois? "Close your eyes and you'll be there... It's everything they say, the end of a perfect day" suggests, IMO, that yes, he's about to have a three way with a couple of sisters from San Fran while the girls sing to him "tell me I'm the only one..." Next he describes the events... "jog with show folk on the sand" is a reference to hanging out with the famous people in LA on the beach, drinking Kirschwasser, which is a clear, colorless cherry brandy, San Francisco Show and Tell is him showing off the two ladies/sisters from San Francisco. The next line "I should know by now it's just a spasm" refers to orgasm... and one he could just as easily have had with hookers in Tijuana ("like a Sunday in TJ") because in both cases, there's a price to pay "it's cheap but it's not free." In TJ you paid cash. With this threesome, the payment comes in hurt feelings, a realization that he's "not what [he] used to be" and that love's not a game for three. "My friends say no, don't go for that cotton candy" some say is cocaine, but that doesn't make sense with the rest of the song, nor does it make sense for the lingo of the time. Instead, I believe "cotton candy" refers to "very sweet candy" in the form of young women--probably right in line with "Hey Nineteen." (It's worth noting Gaucho featured both THIS song AND "Hey Nineteen.") His friends say "no, dude... don't go for the young stuff! You're playing with fire if you do!" "The kid will live and learn as he watches his bridges burn" seems to me to be an obvious allusion to him messing around with women that young and how he'll have to learn that's not the best way to go. It's not politically correct today, but it's worth noting back in the 70s, relationships with girls in their mid teens was not nearly as frowned upon as it is today (Ringo Starr even did a song about a relationship with a 16 year old and how an older guy would be able to brag about it called "You're 16"), so it's possible the girls were maybe as young as 16 since that was the age of consent back then in many places.... That makes more sense to me especially when referring to "cotton candy" as I could EASILY see someone referring to 16 year old girls as Cotton Candy. Obviously 16 year olds are not really emotionally ready to be in relationships with people in their mid 20s to mid 30s--which is why being in such a relationship would be "playing with fire." Of course, the line "so fine so young" is also repeated throughout the song, so that may be just another clue. Anyway, that's my take on it. The lyrics to this are just so amazingly fun.

[@jessicalee7119]

I'm 67 years old ~ I saw them in 1972 in Chicago. (They were the opening band for, The Guess Who.) That was 52 years ago !!!! and they are Still my favorite band.

at 17yrs old I saw them in '72- couldn't possibly see what they were really about (bouncing off walls if you know what I mean- lots of youthful energy)-loved their two charting singles of course back then, but what Fagan was, and would be, is stuff like this- perfection ! such arrangements.

Steely Dan (Walter Becker and Donald Fagan) were originally from the east coast (in and around NYC) but had moved west for their later records to bring in some of the best session musicians.

[@brewstergallery]

Ned from Spain here. Nice reaction video, Jay. These two, Fagen, born in NJ and Becker, Queens, NY !, are East Coast vibe all the way but went to LA because that was and is recording studio and top musician heaven. They worked for Jay and the Americans before starting SD and Jay Black described them as the " Charles Starkweather and Charles Manson " of rock and roll. Was that a compliment ??

[@jaysonbiggs8979]

The drummer is Bernard Purdie. He is on hundreds of studio R&B records from the 1960's. Especially Aretha. He invented the beat. He calls it the Purdie Shuffle. He said SD (Fagen and Becker) pay their musicians very well. lol!

I second West of Hollywood off Two Against Nature. It's an amped-up adrenaline fuelled Orange County slammer that ends with a 3 minute nuclear sax outro. Among their strongest work of this millennium. "I'm way deep into nothing special, riding the crest of a wave ending just west of Hollywood."

[@lewismaddox4132]

They are actually east coast kinda dudes. Becker and Fagan met at Bard College but had to eventually hit LA to write and create for the people that gave them the in roads. They wrote a bunch of shit but the sophistication of their compositions demanded that they eventually form their own band to put it to vinyl. Anyway, the west coast was kinda foisted on them and I don't think they dug it at first. It certainly inspired some amazing music. I think they were also able to tap into some session musicians, producers and engineers that allowed them the freedom to do their thing. I think they still preferred New York.

Hey there! Another Steely Dan fan here, and Babylon Sisters is one of my favorites. Yep, Don and Walt were super-intentional about every aspect of putting a song together - both in the writing and the assembling of tracks in the studio. They were perfectionists who would do tons of takes with different session musicians - there's a documentary on the making of their Aja album that shows a lot of this process. They have so many awesome songs to choose from, but I'll recommend a few of my other personal favorites: Glamour Profession, also from the Gaucho album; Kid Charlemagne from The Royal Scam, and Doctor Wu from Katy Lied.

Something caught my "ear" when I was around 11 or 12 (when Reelin' In The Years) was released, and I've been a fan ever since and have even had the opportunity to see them live a couple of times (when Walter Becker was still alive - - RIP Walter Becker).. I'm an old lady, but I still enjoy listening to music, rock and roll, of course. As far as other Steely Dan music, one of my other faves is Kid Charlemagne.. Bad Sneakers (and a Pina Colada, my friend), The Fez, Janie Runaway, My Old School.. you cannot go wrong with any of them. Catch you later!

I love this song and the whole Gaucho album it comes from, which didn't get as much critical praise as their preceding album, Aja, but I think the writing, playing and production is on an equal par with Aja. I've seen them live 3-4 times and it's funny whenever they've played this song and the back-up singers start to sing the behind-the-beat triplets of "you gotta shake it, baby, you gotta shake it, baby, you gotta shake, yeh" at the end, the audience always starts clapping.

Babylon is Non-binary, about a fallen people. Steely Dan uses it as an analogy uses it was an analogy to indulgent lifestyles and self-destructive behavior. Steely Dan, are two guys Donald Jay Fagen was born in Passaic, New Jersey Walter Becker (deceased) was born in Queens, New York Both met at Bard College in Annandale-On-Hudson, New York where both were students. Fagen graduated in 1969. The song is from their Gaucho studio album which won a Grammy for Best Engineered Recording-Non Classical in 1982 Steely Dan used at least 42 different musicians for the album and spent a year in the studio perfecting it. One time Donald Fagen spent hours debating about the drum beats in Babylon Sisters. He cycled through multiple session musicians and none of them could match his incredibly high standards, that's how much of a perfectionist he was.
