Ive been an Eagles fan since i was a young child, and as I went into my teenage hood, it became larger. Steely Dan on the other hand, has been 2010-and one of those bands that impacts you forever after that.
So, im watching episode 10 of Yacht Rock (come on, they make fun of Michael McDonald, I have to jump on the band wagon for this one!!) they talk about in the mockumentary, this fake bullying childish feud among the 2 bands...and how they made up via the makings of the song FM, whereas SD was forced to ask the Eagles for back up music.
So weird..even in a mockumentary, your two favorite bands in the world (in addition to 3eb which is far from the Yacht Rock scene) feuding..LOL!! Anyways, in the video..they mentioned a few songs...some of which were
Hotel California by the Eagles- in this song, they say "they stab it with their STEELY knives, but they just cant kill the beast"...im wondering, if in reality, that was actually a reference to Steely Dan. Really, who the fuck says STEELY?? They made a joke about it in Yacht Rock..and i later saw it in one of those stupid music forums "song facts" (that half the time are inaccurate)
Show Biz kids by Steely Dan- they say:
"We got booze and the Eagles, all that money can buy"
Everything you did by Steely Dan- they say: "Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening"
and believe that the line in Hotel Calfornia about the Steely knives was a reply to those references...
So, this blog is fairly messy and choppy..and I apologize to anyone who bothers reading that. I just dont know if: the bands really feuded, or if it was a myth maybe started later derived from Yacht rock? the groups are very similar..clever lyrical geniuses, and soft smooth sounds, it makes sense..doesnt it? I am doing my best to research it as i type this..I found the lines in the song very interesting, and LOL if you have never seen episode 10 of Yacht Rock (search on youtube or channel101.com for it) its hilarious..and inspired this messy blog ive written.
Im wondering also...if they really did backup on FM? and if not, what they did back up on? Google doesnt answer everything...which is bullshit, isnt technology better then that? lol :) I know Tim Schmitt did some backups for Steely Dan, but I dont know much else other then that. Im curious how much they link together....and how much they backed up for each other if at all.
Happy links: first is song facts..some i honestly think people pulled out of their asses, or used Yacht Rock for reference (which is a bad idea, considering most of it is totally false and totally for amusement only lol)
here is this link for the alleged songfacts for show biz kids:
