No Young.

Correct.

 

[OmerV]

“When I come feeli tired and beat,
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.
I’ll get far away from the hustlin crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street.

Up on the Roof - Drifters and James Taylor

 

[Doc50]

“Why should I be frightened of dying?
There’s no reason for it, you’ve gotta go sometime.”

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky

 

[Runwildboys]

No Young.

My bad.

 

[OmerV]

Catchy tune, but this song has some of the worst lyrics in popular music.

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

I feel like I should know this, but the melody just isn't coming.

 

[Runwildboys]

I could live inside a tepee
I could die in penthouse 35
You could lose me on the freeway
But I would still make it back alive

Now we got some Neal Young, “Sail Away”

 

[Doc50]

“All the Americans are gone, except for 2;
The embassy’s been hard to reach,
Cause tonight they’re arranging
A small reception just for me
Behind the big casino on the beach”

 

[Runwildboys]

“All the Americans are gone, except for 2;
The embassy’s been hard to reach,
Cause tonight they’re arranging
A small reception just for me
Behind the big casino on the beach”

Whoa..........This doesn't seem at all familiar, though it seems like something Steely Dan would do.

You’re pretty good at this Doc

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Anyone? No googling please...

Whip crackin' floozy
way outta control
she got a new kinda jelly
in her jelly roll
I got the right key baby
but the wrong keyhole
and I'm ready, so ready

Curse you, I figured no one would get it.

 

[JoeKing]

A smack on the wrists is the words from the mouth
Of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns
And the rape, it should all be O.K.

 

[Doc50]

Very good, Runny.

It's Donald Fagen, "The Good-Bye Look", from the album "Nightfly".

He and Walter Becker (college buds in the '60s) still perform, and were the backbone of Steely Dan.

FWIW, my daughter has a friend named Steely; I asked the origin of that, and sure enough, her parents chose it because of being big fans.
