Steely Dan :Reelin In The Years

[CampyNeighbor]

Is that Michelle Obama?



[VvAnarchangelvV]

1:58 Ignoring the rest of the song (I know that is hard), and compare the actual reel to say, Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover, and I just have to say, I love Steely Dan and they are awesome musicians in every other way, but why the frick did they make a song with a reel in it, naming it with Reel in it, when they can't play one for spit?

[hangemhigh63]

@VvAnarchangelvV what are you on about.....?

[jeanhartely]

One of Steely Dan's best pieces. Maybe I missed the racial argument.

[utveg522]

The book of Ruth in the Bible. The story of how all races accumulated in too one,the direct decedents of David..

[stashJ8]

this always reminds me of thin lizzy...

[utveg522]

The Book of Ruth!!!!

[DimensionsofChange]

Someone needs to make a Steely Dan version of Pumped up kicks.

[JRIZZOBIZZO]

I dont care how old it is, I still air guitar all the Steely Dan tunes!!!

[pegmacmillan]

Isn't it interesting that we even have to comment on the photos being of a black woman? So what? If all the photos were of white folk, it wouldn't even be noticed. We are twisted in this country! This may just be a tribute to someone growing up. As for Steely Dan, we're looking forward to seeing them in concert this week in Nashville. We're goin' back, Jack, to do it again!

[NaiNoskcaj]

Love this ****in song!!

[ronmetrx1]

I GET HELLA TURNED ON LOOKING AT BEAUTIFUL BLACK CHICKS!!!

[ronmetrx1]

MAN THOSE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL GIRLS DAMN!!!!!!

[Onewcomb]

gross



[john92165]

I dig the song. The plastic couch covers in the background of the one picture reminds me of my best friend's mom back in the '70s. They were all the rage for her back then. It makes me laugh in a good way. Thanks

[MultiShades]

What--- great looking black women and great Steely Dan sounds --is there anything better than this -- I wonder.

[jimbowie09]

Huh-huh-huh! Come on y'all! This ain't serious or nothin like that, just good music...

[dante75915]

I don't think Steely Dan would appreciate people leaving hateful comments to people listening to their songs. If you haven't written any of their songs, don't worry about who listens to them.

[dante75915]

I like this song. Reminds me of Joe Walsh or Peter Frampton on guitar. Joe Wash showed Frampton how to use the talk box for his guitar.

[sidaotokarski]

it´s luizc arlos martins

[whoiskcwhat]

to big a guitar to concentrate on the words..

[madcat61207]

is that janet jackson . . . like it

[saynomoreification]

nice lady

[buggeringon]

great song and lovely life story in pictures

[cyprixx]

Great song. Glad you posted this.

[admillnx6]

This is a woman who is just trying to show us a little bit about herself using a montage of shots.I find it rather charming.And a great song to boot.

[prb219Z]

wtf is this about? i'm black. a so called negro or in your language, a nigger, Steely Dan is good music, I have no opinion on the video or who is in it, it's just a person who happens to be black, I see no racial or racist intent in the clip. who ever thiks it is racist is just dumb and also stupid.

[doggbrown1]

@prb219Z I WAS GONNA FAVORITE THIS VIDEO....BUT THEN I REMEMBERED IT HAD A NIGGER IN IT. WAY TO RUIN A GREAT SONG NIGGER.

[drstrangefunk]

my, but you´re lovely.

[nswbbk]

STFU good music ....... yes I'm white and tired of being trampled onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnn

[LachozaTube]

I think this is a beautiful video. For all you life haters.. STFU

[WhackedOuttttttt]

All the pictures are niggers.

[xxxImtheshitxx]

Lovely song and pictures.

[MrLiamox]

HEY MISS BRIGHTEYES- you're lovely and hve brightened up my wintry day in London. THANK YOU!

[jflinn210]

Y'all missed the point of the photos -- look at the hair styles, the clothes -- this is a MUSIC fan who, through the photos, is "REELIN' IN THE YEARS." geeeesh ....

[MrDalebob1957]

HowieBecky i can relate also . hey you were a hotti than and still got it now

[MultiShades]

I am a Dan fan people who love Steely Dan really have no time for past c-let live as the Dan does --WHO CARES

[MultiShades]

All has been said --The Dan is for black or brown - or yellow or what ever fools have on there skin--I love the music --The dan is a great group of people that just don;t care other than the dan---WALK THE DAN --OR FALL OFF

[MultiShades]

came back to say who cares --The Dan is again for everyone --if one allows

[MultiShades]

The Dan is for everyone to enjoy

[speechrighter]

The audio is great; as for the video, HowieBecky obviously meant it as a personal message to the woman in the photos. There has probably been some racially oriented negative commentary I have missed, but I'll go on record as saying the woman was absolutely gorgeous in her prime.

[MultiShades]

I love it --black women are so beautiful,,and face it small dicks are what white men are living with--(very wrong) soon all that will be left to breed with is a black woman or her brother..

This is very strange but you sure picked a great song to show family photos

[SlimeTron5000]

Who gives a fuck about racism and black people?

[wendiearslanian82]

mp3ify is the best website to get this song. google mp3ify.

[SlimeTron5000]

@wendiearslanian82 hahahahaha 'mp3s'.

[msmithstud]

this song made me a Steely Dan fan.  3:39- 4:20 is the best.

[Caracalla23]

@msmithstud No 0:00 to 4:59 is the best.

[msmithstud]

@Caracalla23 i stand corrected.

[TylerAdin]

hey this is a good tune- the feel good music- no need to bring up ANYTHING hateful...chill the fudge out-

[Nndankn]

this is fucking epic fuck you haters

[TheCalebson]

Beautiful girl! Thanks for posting this video!

[AdobeExcel]

wassup with the photos?

[nowaynohow26]

Jeff Baxter is an awesome guitarist. I saw him at a local music store once giving a seminar.

[4162661670]

u see kids this was steeley dans best album i think because they put so much energy into making such an impact... i remember hearing that west coast disc jockeys where blown away when they first heard this album

[ElburroE]

Who is she? Well done.

[Phailure365]

@jeffbeckgeek1 which one?

[yamahacustomwill]

damn looks like i missed a good old fashioned debate here. robert maitlandtube seems to have nailed this guy for sure, but i cant see any of his comments, im guessing his account has been terminated due to bad behaviour! the (one sided) argument made me laugh out loud in a library for a good 5 minutes. thanks everyone xD

[CrimsonChampions]

Triumph comes on many levels. The words meant something and that is all that matters. I do not know the lady in the video but some put her there and they relate to that situation. God Bless her.

[elfirrepins]

Steely Dan sure looks younger and more different than I anticipated.

[Thadesgal]

are you reelin in the years...? Oh and then some... I was a kid when this song came out. Now I'm starin at 50. Funny..., I only feel like about 30... Is that a bad thing??? :o )

[crinkledskull]

Pretty girl and good background music!

[AliyahAlia]

I LOVE mp3iiffy it WORKS just google mp3iiffy.

[unclemeat2u]

This song is sad and triumphant at the same time.

[sebbbo77]

"Are ya reelin in da pussy?

Fuckin lots of snatch??

Are ya banging lots of hos??

Are ya making lots of cash??"

[TheJeepWheeler]

why is it all black people?

[BlackSujin]

@TheJeepWheeler

why not?

[TheJeepWheeler]

umm in case ya didnt know, steely dan was white, not black. and its not like im racist, i was just wondering

[BlackSujin]

@TheJeepWheeler

obviously, this video isn't about steely dan. it just has his song in it. the video reflects the title.

[TheJeepWheeler]

@BlackSujin

what did you type inorder to see this video on youtube. hmmm "steely Dan : Reelin in the years" yes this song reflects on his song about how age can pass ya by faster than ya think, not about sad looking black people

[BlackSujin]

@TheJeepWheeler

w/e troll

[TheJeepWheeler]

troll?

wow your pathetic

[ORagnar]

TheJeepWheeler -- because human beings like music? If you read the intro in the video it relates to the guy's life. So, logically it could mean people in his life.

Come on. I'm sure you're fine, but you're focusing on a non-essential. A cool guy puts up a video and you ruin it by such comments.

[TheJeepWheeler]

and you give youtube a bad name for butting your nose into where it does not belong one bit, shut up and mind ur own shit

[Davonneross]

lmao

[mormojew3000]

i'm gonna' be 30 in a bit. this song is as true now as it was when i was 15 or before i was even born. RIGHT?

[jerichoe]

@mormojew3000 YUP. It's timeless!

[georgedublin1]

your still young my hair dident start to fall out untill i was 32 so dont worry

[critchley3819]

Yes wow this song is spot on good words

[fukengruven99]

the international bankers finance division!

it's called "divide and conquer"

[EvePattinson]

Why Does Race Always Have to Get Into Things?

[enchiladasafari]

@EvePattinson Why Do You Capitalize Every Word In The Sentence?

[ancientastronomer]

...And You Care Because ?

[EvePattinson]

I Think It Looks Cool! :D

[ravenwing613]

@wfailed: Where the HELL do you get off talkin racist shit on a Steely Dan video? You have obviously missed the whole point of the fucking song. Please man, you're giving the white man a bad name. I'm from a backwoods mountain family, probably about as country as you can get. But I ask you this. Where the HELL would this great land be without the broken backs of our black, latino, and native brothers? We're all children of the same God.

[bonzodog10]

You were doin ok there mate until you got to the god bit.

[ravenwing613]

It happens. I mean, even if you don't believe in God, we're all children of the same primordial ooze.

[bonzodog10]

Damn right : )

[MegaNerd93]

@ravenwing613 Amen

[phillebeau]

your point is true but keep ur god for urself

[billkurtis31]

@ravenwing613 well said. very good song.

[sandralawson18]

@ravenwing613 No he's not. For what I'm getting at, Steely Dan is a wonderful

gentle man. And, if Steely Dan wants to sing about black or white person, he has

every right to do so, and if you don't like any of his music, then don't buy it. That's

your choice.

[TheCalebson]

@ravenwing613 Tell em!! You are speaking the truth! These people should be ashamed of themselves!

[ravenwing613]

@TheCalebson I mean... Obvious troll is indeed obvious.

[OrganicThumb420]

Raven - you are man of true man of honor and dignity. Thank you

[MultiShades]

@ravenwing613 shut up

[jeebieheebie]

@ravenwing613 hippie asshole

lol

[SunglassesAtNite1]

@ravenwing613 God is fake, just so you know.

[MetalHeadImCool]

@SunglassesAtNite1

youre fake

[MultiShades]

@SunglassesAtNite1 so you say as you fall apart and drift away into your nite.

[myopicseer]

niger, probably means "black", as in the river and country Niger. Niggard means means a stingy person.

[vanmrlegal]

Wow.. it a shame that people like wfailed dont get it. Dude most of us moved on. so do us all a favor and enjoy the music , read your history books, stop hiding behind a computer, get a job, make real friends, take off that FOX tee shrit, and hug your mother. really listen to the song dude. seems like your stuck bro.

Love Obama.

[barbarasarro]

@vanmrlegal You tell them!!! Why do people still have to act so damned immature?????? Grow up people this is 2010!!

[1984kevingriffin]

wfailed is stupid.

[GreyGleamII]

There is a phrase I was unfamiliar with until the other day. "Don't feed the trolls". And that's simply what I have been doing - agitating Wfailed because I enjoy it. Although a waste of time... well, let's just say i'm stuffed! And I shan't be behaving as an instigator any longer ;). Now, Wfailed, ignorant bastard he is, can go back to fucking his cousin.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

Idiot, nigger doesn't mean black. It is defined as someone who is ignorant, stupid, and lazy, which was the name given to Blacks by inferior life forms like you to make themselves feel superior when in fact you were the ones who were and still are quite the inferior people. You have a true nigger mindset, because you're a joke intellectually. Blacks > You

[SlimeTron5000]

@ihatelifejosemartine Racist prick.

Nigger is a spinoff of the Latin word 'niger', as it literally means the colour black.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

@SlimeTron5000 Idiot, that may be what the word is in Latin, but the official definition is someone who's ignorant, stupid, and lazy. Go back to school. You'd learn a thing or two if you did.

[SlimeTron5000]

@ihatelifejosemartine You do not know me, and you tell me to "go back to school" while delivering a bullocks definition like a mentally retarded fuckwit who hides behind the computer screen and cannot step to real life skills or fighting. What a pretentious dipshit. You cannot try to reinforce comebacks upon me as I should send you a Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo with the "No more tears!" proof to relieve you of being a sookie cry-baby Wacko Jacko pussy.

[MultiShades]

@SlimeTron5000 look ---don't drink and then get on you tube--be a drunk dialer a reminder to your family the mistake you have become..Sorry Slime Tron5000 just saw this remark and thought --why not --I will bow out now --have a nice day

[SlimeTron5000]

@MultiShades Another stupid and pretentious comment, brought to you by retard MultiShades.

[MultiShades]

@SlimeTron5000 Fool I was on your side -saw the remark from Hatelifejosemartine and stepped in -----drunk move I guess

[SlimeTron5000]

@MultiShades I don't give a shit whose side you are on, just stop pretending to know me by surmising about "drinking".

[ihatelifejosemartine]

@SlimeTron5000 Your responses say it all... you don't know shit!

[SlimeTron5000]

@ihatelifejosemartine Another stupid comment, brought to you by ihatelifejosemartine.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

@SlimeTron5000 Another idiot who fails to realize that I don't care to sound intelligent with dumbasses such as yourself. 

[SlimeTron5000]

@ihatelifejosemartine no u

[Vinylme]

You're on your own, wfailed. The world has moved on.

[knobulus]

why do we even talk about this, it's so old school

[ihatelifejosemartine]

The definition of the word nigger - someone who is ignorant, stupid, and lazy, and since you happen to be all three, you fit the definition perfectly. Sorry, fucktard, you lose again!

[ihatelifejosemartine]

And you lack a brain and the balls to say any of these things to a Black man's face, because you know you'd get curbstomped.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

Rock is Black man's music, fucking retard.

[shuckslbj]

Thank you for putting beautiful people of color in this video. I like to see some non-white faces associated with '70s rock, which is usually pretty white.

[junx1488]

yeah what the fuck is up with all these niggers in the video

[barbarasarro]

@junx1488 You are an idiot!!!

[SuperGamer87]

@junx1488 You mean this dark-hued female human being, who is most likely someone the poster HowieBecky knows and thus dedicates the video to? Considering the span of years shown here, obviously this HowieBecky is reminiscing the years gone by with this person. Also, people like you (of any color) are the shit-piles of the world. Go kill yourself--you're taking up previous land space.

[sstyblo]

because this is in my favorites, everytime now that I hear this song on the radio/etc. I associate this women's high school picture with it!

[breadzeppelins]

i want to be in this video

[alshouse]

Awesome song, absolute perfection :)

[ironpikachu3]

nobody cares about your life

[Brooksider100]

What the fuck are u arsebenders talking about - this is a music upload not an excuse for anal argument

[collincake]

you should be disgusted with yourself. youre nothing but a racist fuck. if ther actually is a hell youll be there suckin black dick for the rest of eternity. who cares about good grammer? you should be more worried about sounding ignorant. also, eurythmics? the fuck is the matter with you

[collincake]

you are a fuck

[collincake]

dude you favorited the twangbangers. who are you

[currawongee]

ty

for playing the song

[MrDiehard666]

question, who are all these people in this song? do they have anything to do with it, or is it just something random that was put in intsead of the lyrics?

[GreyGleamII]

Lol. I'm sorry i called you pathetic - that was uncalled for. I apologize. I wasn't trying to be a jerk - you just have alot of things you obviously need to come to grips with. I did disappoint my family - until I accepted myself. Then I was able to move on with my life. P.s. God loves you. Exactly as you are.

[GreyGleamII]

Yes, you did fail. You are a truly pathetic individual. Do yourself a favor - come out of the closet. Trust me - i've been exactly where you are.

[robertmaitlandtube]

You have fucking mental problems. You realize that, right?

[MultiShades]

@robertmaitlandtube yeah I know --and you have it all there on tape

[robertmaitlandtube]

I mistyped ONE word. You consistently demonstrate you can't construct a sentence. This guy calls me a faggot, and yet he openly admits he likes the Eurythmics. Well I guess at least he's an expert in irony

[robertmaitlandtube]

Man, you're putting way too much effort into this. Calm down. Get a life. I hate Michael Jackson btw, I'm glad he's dead. He was almost as much of a fag as you, you stupid little cunt. So I mistyped "alone" as "along" because I was typing extremely quickly, because I'm not putting as much effort into this

[robertmaitlandtube]

as you are, because I actually have a life. You apparently don't. So get over it, moron. Mistyping a word is not the same as not being able to construct a sentence. Of course I won't be able to explain that to you, because you're a fucking retard. You're still a fucking faggot by the way.

[robertmaitlandtube]

You like the Eurythmics. You're the Mayor of Fag City.

[robertmaitlandtube]

You like the Eurythmics. You're a faggot.

[robertmaitlandtube]

LOL! "Aussie nigger"? WTF?!?

Let's summarize what we've learnt here:

1) you keep repeating the word "smegma" over and over because you incorrectly assume this proves you have a large vocabulary, 2) you have gay taste in music because you're gay, 3) you keep insulting foreigners despite the fact that your English language skills are far below that of a retarded monkey, let along the average American immigrant, and English is supposedly your FIRST language,

[robertmaitlandtube]

4) you keep insulting "hoboes" (actually spelled "hobos") because you are some spoiled and over-privileged little Mommy's boy who still lives with his parents and assumes he is somehow superior to people who are in poverty, even though you've never worked a day in your life, 5) for some reason you falsely believe you are incredibly witty, clever and popular, when in fact you are none of these things, and 6) you like the Eurythmics because you are a fag

[barbarasarro]

@robertmaitlandtube lmao :)

[robertmaitlandtube]

You think this is an argument? No this is just me pissing off a faggot on youtube. Your dad put his cock up your ass when you were a kid and that's why you like The Eurythmics.

[robertmaitlandtube]

LOL! You like Eurythmics because you're a fag.,

[robertmaitlandtube]

Lol! I only just noticed all your replies...fucking hell. You certainly spent a lot of time and effort writing this shit for someone whose not angry. What a waste of time considering I didn't even read any of them. Why don't you write me another billion replies I don't even bother to read you closet homosexual loser

[robertmaitlandtube]

You like the Eurythmics. Therefore you're gay. There's really nothing more to add.

[robertmaitlandtube]

Did you know that it's a well known fact that closet gays like yourself often indulge in racist or misogynistic behavior, as a way of externalizing their own self-hatred and guilt? Fascinating, eh? Not that we need any further proof you're homosexual. If a woman likes the Eurythmics, that's fine. I don't have a problem with that. But if a guy likes them...well, he could only be gay. That's the only possible logical conclusion that can be drawn as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sure that...

[robertmaitlandtube]

..all of Youtube agrees with me. Apart from you of course...but then, you're a closet gay. Denial and lies are all that ever come out of your tiny brain.

Have a nice life continuing to deny the obvious truth faggot.

:-D

[robertmaitlandtube]

Wow, you put a lot of effort and time into those replies, didn't you. I guess you got angry cos I hit a nerve. Write me another fucking novel why don't you you angry little homo loser

:-D

[robertmaitlandtube]

You are a clearly a closet faggot harbouring a latent desire to perform fellatio on your father and most of your other male relatives, why can't you just accept it and come to terms with it? You're a massive fag, thats why you're so angry at yourself and the world.

[robertmaitlandtube]

Gordon Lightfoot is almost as homosexual as you. It's a miracle you were born because your dad is also almost as big a fag as you, you retarded little queer. You are the biggest cocksucker on the internet. I only say this because you suck on cocks every hour of every day.

[robertmaitlandtube]

HA HA HA! Nice try you stupid little fag. You wrote me a message and then blocked my account from sending you any replies, that's how much of a little coward faggot you are. And now everybody on Youtube knows it, you cowardly little douche-boy! Lol. Along with the fact you have gay taste in music. :-D

[robertmaitlandtube]

HA! You like the Eurythmics and Gordon Lightfoot. So I was right, you really are a fag. Why don't you do the world a favor and go and kill yourself, you worthless, talentless, pointless little piece of shit

[robertmaitlandtube]

HA HA! nice comeback you fucking loser! your dad was a faggot and so are you

:-)

[Rawlinson18]

What is this about? Some pics of a black woman.

[SuperGamer87]

@Rawlinson18 Obviously a video dedication to this person.

[robertmaitlandtube]

Uh huh. I understand now why you chose that username

[robertmaitlandtube]

Wow, what a worthwhile human being you are

[toobrrr]

Free song and all your inbred brain can do is slam another ethnicity?

[mattsb2000]

Strange video for this song.

[moscowflyer2007]

You guys need glasses - she is an absolute howler! Jaysus.........

[sandralawson18]

She looks better than you. You're just being jealous,

Sandra.
