Anybody realize that this is a song by Steely Dan? I'm something of a rock n roll historian, but I didn't know about this song:
DR WU Katy tried I was halfway crucified I was on the other side Of no tomorrow You walked in And my life began again Just when I'd spent the last piaster I could borrow All night long We would sing that stupid song And every word we sang I knew was true Are you with me Doctor Wu Are you really just a shadow Of the man that I once knew Are you crazy are you high Or just an ordinary guy Have you done all you can do Are you with me Doctor
Don't seem right I've been strung out here all night I've been waiting for the taste You said you'd bring to me Biscayne Bay Where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day I went searching for the song You used to sing to me Katy lies You could see it in her eyes But imagine my surprise When I saw you
Are you with me Doctor Wu Are you really just a shadow Of the man that I once knew She is lovely yes she's sly And you're an ordinary guy Has she finally got to you Can you hear me Doctor

It is a great tune! I've loved it for years, great writing, great sax, and I think the late Jeff Porcaro plays drums on this track. He was only 21 years old when they recorded this great album. Steely Dan is one of the most unique musical acts ever!
