A scene from Sex and the City shows Carrie Bradshaw standing outdoors at night in a white dress, holding a cigarette. The captions read, “When life gets this confusing, sometimes there’s only one thing to do… listen to Gaucho.”

Screenshot of Niles Crane from “Frasier”. Subtitle reads: “Well, the parallels between me and an unemployed gaucho aside…”

If Niles listened to popular music it would 1000% be Steely Dan

i wasn't gonna post it again this year but here ya go

A screenshot from the movie "Say Anything". John Court, the character played by the stellar actor John Mahoney, is driving in his Volvo station wagon. He is singing along with the radio, which is playing Steely Dan's "Rikki Don't Lose That Number". According to the subtitles, he gets the lyrics wrong ("it's the only one you'll want" vs. "it's the only one you own"), which imo is a pretty common mistake due to Fagen's rather unique inflection in his vocals. You know Don never wanted to be the lead singer, which is just crazy if you imagine an alternate universe where David Palmer stayed around and sang everything. Or if Michael McDonald had accepted the gig as full time lead singer. Sheesh. My brain hurts just thinking about it. Welp, if you've read this far down, I'd just like to give a shout out to the music supervisor for this film. Bangup job.

Per ChatGPT: A meme featuring the "confused math lady" reaction image, which shows a woman looking puzzled while various mathematical equations and geometric diagrams overlay the image. Top text: "session musicians reading a Steely Dan chord chart" The meme humorously suggests that Steely Dan’s notoriously complex and jazz-influenced chord progressions are so intricate that even highly skilled session musicians struggle to decipher them, much like someone trying to solve an advanced math problem.

Via ChatGPT: A meme featuring a scene from Sex and the City where Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) is sitting at her laptop, writing. Text at the top: "As Big became a shadow of the man that I once knew, I couldn't help but wonder... was I the Katy to his Dr. Wu, or was I just another Rose Darling?" The caption humorously blends Carrie’s signature introspective writing style with references to Steely Dan songs—"Dr. Wu", "Rose Darling", and "Katy Lied". The meme playfully reimagines Carrie analyzing her relationship with Big through the lens of Steely Dan lyrics, combining pop culture with classic rock references.

thanks chatgpt: ChatGPT said: A meme featuring a three-panel scene from Spider-Man (2002), where Mary Jane (played by Kirsten Dunst) is tearfully asking Peter Parker (played by Tobey Maguire) to tell her the truth. Top panel: Mary Jane, emotional, says, "Tell me the truth... I'm... I'm ready to hear it." Middle panel: Peter Parker, looking serious, responds with the caption in yellow text: "I don't like Gaucho." (referring to Gaucho, the 1980 album by Steely Dan). Bottom panel: Mary Jane breaks down in tears, devastated by Peter's confession. The meme humorously exaggerates the emotional weight of disliking Gaucho, an album that often divides Steely Dan fans.
