BOS1 Midnight Cruiser. (Is that first line "Thelonious, my old friend" or "Felonious..."? I'd think it would be the former but sure sounds like he's singing the latter.)

Easy action from a midnight cruiser - is there any other kind?

In '72 I thought it was Felonious too... but then I didn't know who Thelonious Monk was then.  But given their love of jazz...

as Jack Parr once quipped: Is there an A Thant, a B Thant, a C Thant...

This. Is. Our f--k in the road! (I actually thought they were saying the F-word the first time I heard this.)

I just melt for the call-and-response between the strings and the horns on the bridge.  BOS from me.

Turns out your ears in '72 (and mine in '08) were right. From the Steely Dan site:

Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now
Let's get right to it.
