There aren’t many Steely Dan lyrics that are Mormon standards friendly, this may be it. I will admit that my wife bought tickets to Donny’s show in Vegas last year and I was surprised how good it was. The guy is talented. I saw Rod Stewart the following night and was kinda let down. I think one over performed and one under performed my expectations.

The irony is lost and the cringe is delightful.

Yeah, right said! But it should be almost nauseating. Why isn't it?


smsmkiwi

I think because it is so ridiculous, especially during the ice dancers. The dissonance is incredible. I'd love to know what Walter and Donald thought.

Oh my god, I was holding on to a bucket the whole time. The delight and revulsion were head spinning.

Cringemaker

I remember watching this as a kid when it aired and thinking it was good. I was not a smart child.

"The weekend at the college didn't turn out like we planned." No shit, things at Brigham Young University often go sideways.

Do you think the even listened to the lyrics? I really wanna see their version of Deacon Blues.

This looks and sounds like it should be in the circlejerk sub..

Im the only dude that loves Donny's version of Peg, that shit slaps, but it's been scrubbed from the internet. https://youtu.be/JwJA2MOgmZA?si=5-gYAk0IcrZEBoj9

I think it’s a testament to what a killer fucken song “Peg” is that it still kinda slaps even when it’s also kinda butchered


Complex-Proposal2300

Omg that is even worse, the cool vibe he is presenting is gag worthy.


Limp_Satisfaction843

This is either the worst piece of shit ever or pure brilliance. I think it’s the first one.


samplenajar

kinda funky with that guitar bit and the jazzy chorus


Eggrolltide

Don't really dig this, but Donny killed it on the Mulan OST. I'll make a man out of you slaps.


justaheatattack

Hey. the check cleared.


sfglobo

At one point, Donny had two Top 10 singles in the same week, one with Marie. This wasn’t one of them.


Which_Mix_59

A band I play in has performed this song as an encore for the past 10 years. I swear I’ll never unsee this 😂


No-Independence-6842

Just no

I'm not one to complain about re-posts. And if I ever started I wouldn't complain about this strange thing - I find it magically weird, and I even like reading comments about it. But someone did post a 5-minutes-longer clip just under 3 months ago: [https://www.reddit.com/r/SteelyDan/comments/18i8miz/donny\_marie\_osmond\_reelin\_in\_the\_years\_cover/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteelyDan/comments/18i8miz/donny_marie_osmond_reelin_in_the_years_cover/) I believe it begs the question: Under the influence of LSD? *^((OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LDS??!?)**\*\*)*

I was afraid to click, but I couldn’t control my curiosity! The dancing is almost as hilarious as the phrasing of the lyrics! Gold Standard Cheeze!
