fan video for the Steely Dan tune...




I always thought the lyrics were hilarious:


"Our man Abu squeezes off 20 tracer rounds
And that's when she jumps the turnstile
And as she clings to the roof of the speeding train
The Double A down to Sheridan Square
Her cell phone rings
It's, like, her stupid father
Be in the door by ten—again

Pixeleen
Dream deep, my three times perfect ultrateen
Pixeleen
Born in the bogs of Jersey,
Trained to love and spy hard,
Dropped on the streets of Roppongi,
Soaked through on the floor of a noodle shop,

And when Abu rams the clip in the miniglock,
Up on the catwalk inside the warehouse,
You whip a knife from the top of your go-go boot,
With just a flash of spectacular thigh
Your pager starts to throb
It's your as-if boyfriend Randall
Better keep it real—or whatever

Pixeleen
Rave on my sleek and soulful cyberqueen
Pixeleen
Penned by a hack in the Palisades,
Backed by some guys from Columbia
Shot all in digital video for a million and change...

Flash back to cool summer nights
Freddy can we cut to the chase?
In a room above your garage
Everything about me is different
Symmetrical and clean

This is what I see
Just a girl in girlie trouble
Dancing in the video with gun and tambourine

Pixeleen
Be good my three times perfect ultrateen
Pixeleen
Born on the floor of a noodle shop,
Dropped in the bogs of Jersey,
Shot by a guy from Columbia,
Soaked through all in digital video,

Girl with the sweet backstory,
Pitched in a trailer in Burbank,
Cast by a cool-enough yes man,
Screened at a festival in Utah..."

I'll just say this, the music/lyrics...Perfect Pop!

And again, Melegorm has quite a few excellent self-created videos of Steely Dan/Donald Fagen material.
