This is track Nr. 9 on the fith album The Royal Scam by Steely Dan 1976. The Royal Scam is the first Steely Dan record that doesn't exhibit significant musical progress from its predecessor, but that doesn't mean the album is any less interesting. The cynicism that was suppressed on Katy Lied comes roaring to the surface on The Royal Scam - not only are the lyrics bitter and snide, but the music is terse, broken, and weary. Not so coincidentally, the album is comprised of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's weakest set of songs since Can't Buy a Thrill. The Royal Scam is an album by Steely Dan, originally released in 1976. The Royal Scam features more prominent guitar work than other Steely Dan albums. With irony-laden verses about drug dealers, safe sex, and hardships faced by immigrants, The Royal Scam is arguably Steely Dan at their most cynical. The mood of the album stands in contrast with the band's mellower and hugely successful follow-up, Aja. The album cover read more. Album 1976 9 Songs. The Royal Scam. Steely Dan.

Ever the primary conceit of mainstays Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, 1976's The Royal Scam marks the first time the Steely Dan duo actually owned up to the fact. Musically, it's their edgiest, most guitar-driven record thanks to Becker and a murderer's row of session greats that includes Larry Carlton, Elliot Randall, Dean Parks, and Denny Dias. How Steely Dan Pulled Off The Royal Scam. Frank Mastropolo. ABC Records. Expectations were high when Steely Dan's fifth album was released May 31, 1976. The Royal Scam featured the band's most cynical lyrics to date in its tales of outlaws, drug dealers and cheaters. While the LP reached No. 15 on the Billboard albums chart, its two singles, Kid Charlemagne and The Fez, barely made a dent. Critical response was a mix of raves and disappointment. The album cover of The Royal Scam features a homeless man laying on a bench. Behind him are monolithic skyscrapers topped with the snarling heads of a wolf, snake, alligator and bear. This dark, eerie cover sets the stage for a cynical album. More songs from Steely Dan. More songs about racism or discrimination. More songs about immigration or refugees. More songs from 1976. Lyrics to The Royal Scam. Steely Dan Artistfacts. Roland from CaliforniaAs a fan of Steely Dan's and a descendant of Puerto Rican immigrants, I find great ignorance, if not downright arrogance in the assumptions made by some of this songs' interpreters
