And clemenza, I saw the Stones in 72, too. I was 16. Got my driver's license that morning, went to see the Stones and opening act Stevie Wonder that night. That was a good day.― Sandy, Wednesday, April 2, 2014 5:46 PM (36 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

welcome Sandy, and I am SO jealous of you! I think if I could time travel to one show it would be '72 Stones and Stevie

That was a good day.

As Bee OK pointed out to me in his confirmation email I accidentally only voted for 19 SD songs, but I never got back to him with my number 20, which was "King of the World". So when the tracks ultimately roll out just imagine it has 12 more points. Wonder if it'll need the boost?
― thewufs, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 23:06 (ten years ago) link
Also, any world that I'm welcome to is one where "Beg us" rhymes with "Vegas". I don't know where y'all come from.
― thewufs, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 23:09 (ten years ago) link
king of the world is a cool song and could have made the bottom of my 20 on a different day

if "Dirty Work" were Steely Dan's only song, Sandy's post about seeing the dan wouldn't be awesome. it wouldn't make sense. "Dirty Work" tears down my entire image of becker and fagen as genius assholes bc I know fagen's not singing due to insecurity. For this and other reasons, I move that "Dirty Work" be stricken from the poll.

Isn't the Do It Again line"Now you swear and kick and beg usThat you're not a gamblin' manThen you find you're back in VegasWith a handle in your hand"
― nickn, Wednesday, April 2, 2014 9:48 AM (6 hours ago)
Thanks. I voted that line and apparently had it wrong this whole time. The real first line is even better! Aside from the badass lyrics themselves I've always loved how they kick straight back into this verse after the solos and windchimes.

those who voted for "Dirty Work" will be given the option to transfer their vote to either "Your Gold Teeth" or "Your Gold Teeth II." if one already voted for one gold teeth but not the other, the vote shall be automatically given to the gold tooth without a vote. if one already voted for both gold teeth, well this is called money bags. So: copy this to your status and money will arrive within 4 days... based on Chinese Feng Shui. The one who does not copy will be without money.

super stoked for the solo tracks rollout.

xp I like jazzman. I like Palmer and the song Dirty Work to be honest. It just bothers me on the album, and it'd be a small personal tragedy if it makes top 10.

Jazzman. One of those songs you hear, and you're Ohhhh, that Jazzman.

Oh yeah, thanks-I was thinking of "Summer Breeze" which I always thought went, "blowin' through the jazzman in my mind"

fist, i want to say that i'm not sure how i missed some lyrics ballots, pretty sure that it really was only a couple. i can say that after tabulating all these ballots it sounds like i slipped a little bit. i'm almost 100% sure everything else is accurate.
second, i looked at a bunch of other polls and it seemed liked this one was the record. i thought i heard that Led Zeppelin had the most and therefore this poll was ahead of that one. i did look at the David Bowie poll but couldn't find the numbers.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 3 April 2014 01:05 (ten years ago) link
While we're talking about misheard lyrics I've always thought "Well I never thought the girl could be so crueeeel" was actually "so ruuuuuuude" and I pretty much like my version better so take that SD
― 龜, Thursday, 3 April 2014 01:07 (ten years ago) link
speaking of, i started to edit the lyrics but ran out of time. so as some others have explained their mistakes were transferred over.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 3 April 2014 01:09 (ten years ago) link
starting with the solo stuff
