Steely Dan and their Rock/Light Jazz sound seems like a perfect fit for my mood today, so I picking one of their songs.
This song is actually quite depressing subject matter wise, but is played and sung with the upbeat feel that only comes from Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. I love how the bass is employed in this song, the line follows the melody along with the vocals and the piano; a very nice touch.

Here is a fan video with the studio version on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: #424 Van Halen - Summer Nights
My song pick two years ago today: #56 Apocalyptica (featuring Nina Hagen) - Seemann
