    ...so I figured that a song that simplistically understates desires that I don't think I have, but may actually be lurking inside somewhere - delivered in a matter of fact deadpan manner might be interesting... and it gave me an excuse to work the harmonica.

    Story Behind the Song
    I recently had a virus, and I think it unlocked a more relaxed creative roadblock in my mind, because I did 3 "different" type songs during that time - usually if I am sick, I don't do music.

    Lyrics
    A Little Like Steely Dan (Very Little)

    In the early days when I was young, I was really so hung up
    I was voted least likely to succeed
    not so cool, I was not so tough I was somewhere in the middle
    on the lower side of middle
    very low

    But I want to be famous
    Want to make a lot of money
    Want to have a lot of groupies and a real good band

    Want to live in big house
    Wanna drive in a limo
    Wanna be a little like Steely Dan

    this morning I was thinking about how time goes so fast
    wake up one day and you’re nearly dead
    You can see I ‘m getting lazy caus’ my songs used to make some sense
    Well they made a little sense
    very little

    But I want to be famous
    Don’t want people to hate me
    I want to write some lyrics that are hard to understand

    Don’t wanna be a loser
    Wanna work the harmonica
    I want to write a good song like Steely Dan

    Well I worked so hard on this song, I really gotta go
    I guess I ‘ve got some other things to do
    You see I work from 9 to 5 but I make myself some cash
    A little bit of cash
    Very Little

    But I want to be famous
    Want to make a lot of money
    Want to have a lot of groupies and a cool jazz band

    Want to live in big house
    Don’t want to die behind the wheel
    I want to be a little like Steely Dan
