"The most clever aspect of You, Me and Dupree is its rhyming title...after that, it's one long, steep decline into suffering."
-- Nick Schager, SLANT MAGAZINE



"One of the problems of taking things apart and seeing how they work--supposing you're trying to find out how a cat works--you take that cat apart to see how it works, what you've got in your hands is a non-working cat." -- Douglas Adams

Re: Steely Dan's open letter to Luke Wilson (the actor)


The lyrics to Steely Dan's "Cousin Dupree":

Well I've kicked around a lot since high school
I've worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rock'n ska band
To haulin' boss crude in the big rigs
Now I've come back home to plan my next move
From the comfort of my Aunt Faye's couch
When I see my little cousin Janine walk in
All I could say was ow-ow-ouch

[CHORUS:]
Honey how you've grown
Like a rose
Well we used to play
When we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree

She turned my life into a living hell
In those little tops and tight capris
I pretended to be readin' the National Probe
As I was watchin' her wax her skis
On Saturday night she walked in with her date
And backs him up against the wall
I tumbled off the couch and heard myself sing
In a voice I never knew I had before

[CHORUS]

I'll teach you everything I know
If you teach me how to do that dance
Life is short and quid pro quo
And what's so strange about a down-home family romance?

One night we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire
And I decided to make my play
I said babe with my boyish charm and good looks
How can you stand it for one more day
She said maybe its the skeevy look in your eyes
Or that your mind has turned to applesauce
The dreary architecture of your soul
I said - but what is it exactly turns you off?

[CHORUS]

Do you really think so? The whole thing sounded awfully tongue in cheek to me...

I don't know, or care for that matter, but that didn't sound like a letter Fagen or Becker would write. Anyway, it does give me yet another opportunity to to praise the Two Against Nature concert dvd. If you're any kind of Steely Dan fan you must get this one.

Well, now that I've had time to think about it AND knowing that duo has exhibited some pretty quirky humor during interviews, now I'm thinking it *is* a tongue in cheek thing. Though I wonder what prompted them to do this....boredom? Free publicity?

That's hilarious, especially since I'll be seeing them Friday at the White River Amphitheater. Maybe I'll shout: "OWEN! OWEN! OWEN!" to see their reaction...




And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

"Dupree!" would probably get more of a reaction. Let me know what happens - I'll see them on the 13th, so maybe I'll pester them too!
