Steely Dan - "Josie" (1978)

[Whi$tlin' Pete]

This hit number 20 on the R&R charts in Fall 1978. I thought it was drab when I first heard it, but somehow the song stuck in my mind and now I can't stop listening to it.

"When Josie comes home, so good she's the pride of the neighborhood, she's the raw flame, she's the live wire, she prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire."

I'm not sure what "She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire" is supposed to mean.

I love the guitar chords.

I wouldn't put it in my top tier of Steely Dan songs, but it's good.
