Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn

50 freaking years ago.....

Steely Dan's song lyrics - not unlike Bowies.....so catchy and unique!

OK - great comment from the peanut gallery........

For those wondering, if you pause at 1:44, the band members (L-R) are backing vocalists Jenny "Bucky" Soule and Gloria "Porky" Granola, bassist/songwriter (the late) Walter Becker, lead vocalist/songwriter Donald Fagen, drummer/backing vocalist (the late) Jim Hodder, percussionist/backing vocalist Royce Jones, guitarist Denny Dias (rhymes with bias) and lead guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. This same lineup would appear in November 1973 on "American Bandstand," lip-synching to the 45-single recording of "My Old School." When they toured in 1974 to promote their 3rd album, "Pretzel Logic," they replaced Jenny and Gloria with backing vocalist and keyboardist Michael McDonald and added a 2nd drummer, the late-great Jeff Porcaro. Check out blonde vocalist Gloria (Giano) Granola six years later when she appeared with her husband (Dodgers catcher Steve Yeager) on a 1979 episode of the TV game show "Family Feud" (available on YouTube).
