Okay so this is probably one you've heard if you've heard any Steely Dan. I think this was the biggest hit on the Can't Buy A Thrill album.

First, let's talk about that intro solo. I believe Elliot Randall is the guitarist there and it's so tasty. It's one of my favorite little solos to play on the guitar. The swing-y background holds it all together. The solo later on is amazing as well and Donald Fa*an's vocals work perfectly.

Lyrically, it's typical SD stuff. Favorite:

The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand

Those last two lines are something I think about all the time lately haha.

Rating: 10/10 its a radio hit, but man is it good.
