Songfacts wrote:Released as the B-side to "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," this fairly obscure song has become a crowd favorite. In an interview with Rolling Stone during Steely Dan's 2009 tour, Donald Fagen talked about this song: "When we moved out to L.A., people called each other 'dude,' which we found funny. We were trying to speak their language."Regarding the lyrics, "Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears," a Squonk is a mythical woodland creature who has the ability to dissolve in its own tears. Steely Dan came across the word in a book by Jorge Luis Borges. Genesis also makes mention of this animal in their song "Squonk," from their 1976 album A Trick of the Tail.I never seen you looking so bad my funky one
You tell me that your superfine mind has come undone
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you
Have you ever seen a squonk's tears? Well, look at mine
The people on the street have all seen better times
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you
I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do
You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won't be there no more
Any major dude will tell you
Quite right!Steely Dan wrote:When the demon is at your door

Magnesium powder? Really? Sounds wonderful... never tried that before....GlytchMeister wrote:Reliant Robin: season with magnesium powder and C-4 on inner areas. coat outer surfaces with thermite paint and sear to seal in the flavor. Then, place in an omelette maker and put on high heat - flip regularly until well done.
I'd get a backhoe and start excavating a deep hole...Sgt. Howard wrote:DAMN! BEAT ME TO IT!!!AmriloJim wrote:Step 1: Crush to a fine consistency.DinkyInky wrote:How would you prepare a Reliant Robin, and a Pontiac Aztek?
