Steely Dan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When Black Friday comes
I stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor

When Black Friday comes
I collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out

I'll be on the road

When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me

When Black Friday comes
I fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book

Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos

When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill
You know I will

When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it 'til
I satisfy my soul

Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll

When Black Friday comes

I'm gonna stake my claim
I guess I'll change my name

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Black Friday" by Steely Dan are a reflection on greed and materialism. The song is essentially about a man who is comparing himself to others who are caught up in the frenzy of Black Friday, a day known for being the busiest shopping day of the year. The singer seems to be aware of how superficial this day is and wants to distance himself from it.

The opening lines of the song, "When Black Friday comes / I stand down by the door / And catch the grey men when they / Dive from the fourteenth floor" suggest that he is watching as people flock to the stores to buy things they don't need, even if they can't afford them. He is an observer to this madness, but he chooses not to partake in it.

In the second verse, the singer talks about "collecting everything he's owed" before his friends find out so that he can be "on the road." This suggests that he is someone who has debts to pay, but he wants to get out of town before anyone knows about it. He is aware that his friends might judge him for his financial troubles, and he wants to avoid that confrontation.

The rest of the song continues with the theme of wanting to distance oneself from the materialistic world. The singer talks about going to Australia and "striking all the big red words / From [his] little black book." He wants to start fresh and be free from the pressures of society. He talks about feeding kangaroos and wearing no shoes or socks, which suggests that he wants to be grounded and connected to nature.

Overall, "Black Friday" is a song about rebellion against consumerism and materialism. The singer wants to strip away all of the superficial things in life and find something real and meaningful.

The only president that payed off the national Dept was Andrew Jackson. There was a federal reserve in his day, just a different name. He saw their evil wicked intensions. Fortunately, they only had a 20 year charter, and when it came up renewal, Jackson made sure our Dept to them world control bastards was payed off, then he would not renew their charter.
So American money was our money.
Not long after the bastards came back again under a different name, and the Dems of that time voted for another fed Reserve. Look at us now.

"Steely Dan Gets Pulled Over By a Fan"
As the blue lights flashed, Donald pulled their 1962 Lark to the curb. The New York City officer asked Donald, "70 in a 35, goin' to Arcturus?" He then said, "License and registration." Recognizing the name and their faces, he pulled off his cheaters and said, "I'm a huge fan." Greatly relieved, Walter spoke from the passenger side, "What's your favorite song?" The policemen replied, "Parker's Band." I wish I could have learned to work the saxophone." Donald jokingly said, "You've chosen a glamour profession instead." Not too thrilled with that jab, Officer Jackson retorted, "I'm just a man with a gun, and I don't want to shoot no one.” Quickly realizing his attempt at humor failed, Donald said, "Well, you certainly are a champion in my eyes.” Officer Jackson asked them if could search the car. After the search, he laid down down the law. He said, "I’m not going to cite you for an open container or for the suspicious paraphernalia or for the busted taillight. Instead I’m going to reduce your speeding ticket to a 69 in a 35. Yeah, the hangman isn't hangin.' Have a nice day,"

Long before “Black Friday” came to stand as a name for the shopping frenzy the day after Thanksgiving, Steely Dan released this about the original “Black Friday,” when on Friday, September 24, 1869, a failed ploy left several wealthy investors broke.

Though “Black Friday” (1975) refers to events in the US, it mentions a town in Australia : Muswellbrook, a rural town two hours North of Sydney, where there are a lot of kangaroos (thus the line, “Nothing to do but feed all the kangaroos”). Walter Becker and Donald Fagen might have selected that name from an atlas, mainly because it fits with the next phrase, “I’m going to strike out all the big red words from my little black book.”

This was the first of two singles released from the “Katy Lied” LP (1975), the second one being “Bad Sneakers” (1975). Just like many other tunes of theirs, “Black Friday” only reached a modest spot on the US chart. But Fagen and Becker were not concerned about how their singles fared. And in the end, “Katy Lied” did obtain GOLD STATUS‼️ 💚💵💚

Skunk is killing most of the leads on this. I'd love to see Rick Beato break this one down. Becker is an essential part of the sound on rhythm mostly, but the songwriting, composition, and arrangements of him and Fagan, and their standard of excellence combined with their professional graciousness in providing the best studio musicians with the framework and musical space to really showcase their skills and contribute to what's still one of the best things that ever happened to contemporary/rock/jazz/pop music ever, is how I see Walter.

@ClimateHawk

@@jimilee4660 Skunk left Steely Dan in 1974 to join The Doobie Brothers. Black Friday was from the Katy Lied album released in 1975. By that time, it was just Donald Fagen and Walter Becker recording their albums with session musicians. Denny Dias also did a few solos.
