Click the Album art to listen to Security Joan, from Donald Fagen’s 2005 solo album, Morph the Cat. Oh and thanks a lot youtube, for the ‘no embed’ tag.

I don’t know which airline Fagen flies but airport security around where I live is nasty! Still, this is the coolest song about a security guard I’ve ever heard.

Trust the dude who was in a band named after a dildo to make a song about cavity searches sound sexy !

Five great song lyrics that pop into my mind randomly.

1. Ooh hey

I’m trying to decide

Which way to go

I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere : Eykah Badu – Didn’t Cha Know

2. It has to start somewhere

It has to start sometime

What better place than here

What better time than now : Rage Against The Machine – Guerilla Radio

(Excellent video that parodies GAP adverts from the 90′s)

3. I like big butts and I cannot lie : Sir Mix-A-Lot – Baby Got Back

(Also an excellent video but in a totally different way )

4. There was a person there

Who put forth the proposition

That you can..

Petition the lord with prayer (x3)

YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER! : The Doors – The Soft Parade (Live)

5. He’s gone – he walks through the old routines

But he’s gone – guaranteed

He may be sittin’ in the kitchen, but he’s

Steppin’ out with the Jack of Speed : Steely Dan – Jack of Speed

(No video but listen to the song from their 2000 Album that won 4 Grammys including Album of the year and went double platinum. Just goes to prove that in this age of american idol, wannabe grunge rock bands and strippers-that-sing there are still people that don’t have ears made of cloth)

Do it again.

Reasons I love this song.

1. Sometimes I feel that when Donald Fagen and Walter Becker wrote it 1972 they knew that two and a half decades later I might need a soundtrack to my life.

2. The most bitchin’ electric sitar solo ever.

Reason I might commit murder while this song plays in the background.

1. I just read that ‘Do it again’ is on Guitar Hero World Tour 2008 and if I ever see some stupid wannabe rocker dude pretending to be Denny Dias and play guitar to this song I will have to kill him.
