Steely Dan - Green Earrings Lyrics






Cold, daring
No flies on me
Sorry, angel
I must take what I see
Green earrings
I remember
The rings of rare design
I remember
The look in your eyes
I don't mind

Greek medallion
Sparkles when you smile
Sorry, angel
I get hungry like a child

Green earrings
I remember
The rings of rare design
I remember
The look in your eyes
I don't mind

    I own a pair of large stud green earrings myself.

  18. g.... 4....

    I love this tune. Really under rated.

    g.... 4....

    I agree. It is a hidden gem, no pun intended.

  19. V.... 6....

    “YOU’RE KILLIN ME, BERNARD!!!...” so fucking AMAZING.... butter

  20. c.... s....

    If l only had one album to listen to it would be the Royal Scam.

  21. A.... H....

    Who's the drummer in this song?

    A.... H....

    Burnard purdie

    A.... H....

    @Vera Lynn
    "Bernard"

  22. K.... C....

    Where is the LOVE button for this ??! 🎸 Everyday listening for me! Great piece of music is an understatement ☮

  23. n.... i....

    This song has been stuck in my head for the last 48 hours. I wonder how long it will take to get out.

  24. R.... J....

    Walter Becker play dat funky guitar

    R.... J....

    Elliott Randall and Denny Dias on the guitars.

  25. G.... B....

    A lot of the US session guitarists at that time were influenced by Jan Akkerman (Hocus Pocus)

  26. e.... ....

    Bernard

    FOKKEN

    Purdie

  27. D.... L....

    ... 2:03 and you realize why some musicians are geniuses and other simply not... what da fuck... ❤️

  28. C.... ....

    my dad used to play this on the stereo this song is so good i liked it as a kindergartner and still like it

  29. s.... j....

    Who is playing the clavinet? Donald. Fagan. Joe. Sample. Victor. Feldman or??????

  30. J.... S....

    The intro sounds either like the 6 o clock news back in 82, or a chase scene in magnum PI show....

  31. M.... B....

    According to popular SD legend, this is about a professional jewel thief. As usual, the song is smooth sailing, and what a weird outro.

  32. D.... H....

    possibly one of the greatest things I have ever heard.............

  33. S.... T....

    Every time I'm like, "this is my favorite SD song", I run across something like this

    S.... T....

    This song is RIDICULOUS!

    S.... T....

    I have had that same thing happen to me with their song "Glamour Profession."

    S.... T....

    Great bass lines in this.

  34. M.... ....

    My favourite ever Don vocal.

    M.... ....

    There are so many.

  35. l.... i....

    this is brilliance

  36. N.... E....

    One great song I have not played in years .

  37. J.... J....

    Need to hear a heavy metal cover of this

  38. C.... M....

    Bernard Purdie...very tasty with the barking biscuits.

  39. D.... ....

    this song is siq.

  40. J.... C....

    That bridge and solo is soul candy...

  41. w.... s....

    One of my favs

  42. w.... s....

    Great music!

  43. M.... ....

    One of the ginchiest songs ever...love this track so much, thank you!

  44. A.... M....

    Ice Cube - "Don't Truss Em"

    A.... M....

    I just went on to hear it wow what does Ice Cube know about that song?? LOL

    A.... M....

    Well thank you sir for blowing my motherfucking mind.

    A.... M....

    Organized Konfusion - Walk Into The Sun

  45. D.... R....

    Guitar break in the middle is superb. I heard that it's been used in some music programs to illustrate an ideal guitar solo. Good choice!

    D.... R....

    Been listening to it on and off since 78 and as it marinates it gets better and better

    D.... R....

    Marinates. I like that.

  46. D.... G....

    Elliott Randall has some amazing call and response guitar lines before Denny Dias' solo and then comes back with a killer second solo. Chuck Rainey and Bernard "Pretty" Purdie groove the hell out of the rhythm section on this. This might be the funkiest Dan tune.

    D.... G....

    Yes Dias kicks ass on this one,underrated original guitarist and founder of the group.

  47. D.... M....

    Love this band. Also Chuck Rainey the bass player wrote the bass line for Sanford and Son. Groovin'!

  48. K.... E....

    Jazziest.. one. 😋😋😋Ever. LOVE🚩🚩

  49. M.... R....

    Never been nothing like The Dan

    M.... R....

    And never will be...

  50. j.... p....

    organized konfusion

  51. T.... H....

    Rainey was the most brilliant Bassist that could have ever hooked up with The Dan. His attitude was perfect also-and no matter how they told him to play a part- he played it his way. Because, he is as great playing the bass as Becker & Fagan were at their song writing/structure and studio magic.

    T.... H....

    Becker also plays a mean bass too .

  52. C.... T....

    Funkiest bass line ever?
    Probably.
    Yeah, definitely probably.

  53. N.... W....

    I never knew it back then, but Purdie gave me the percussion syndrome!

  54. H.... P....

    Great solo Larry wish it was a little longer.

    H.... P....

    Guitar solo 1: Denny Dias.
    Guitar solo 2: Elliott Randall.

    H.... P....

    Outro solo: Elliott Randall with phase shifter.

  55. s.... ....

    The Rainey/Purdie rhythm section is in raw form here. To really appreciate this track listen to the version absent the guitars and keyboards on youtube. Damn whoa!!!!

    s.... ....

    sirjer73 GODZ!

  56. a.... ....

    Too bad Steely Dan didn't get to steal green earrings

  57. A.... ....

    2:05 - thank me later!!! =)

    A.... ....

    That's what I was thinking

  58. D.... S....

    This song's so awesome, got me thinkin of Batman and Robin scaling a skyscraper, and Robin's wearing no freaking underwear.

  59. L.... M....

    Great album great track and such crystal clear sound from America's greatest band ?

    L.... M....

    Yes, the greatest band on the Planet.

    L.... M....

    A strong case to be made for that.

    L.... M....

    @Miles Christensen
    Hi again Miles. I am a lifelong Steely Dan fan. I wrote "A Steely Dan Bedtime Story." It combines their song titles and lyrics into an amusing tale. You can find it on the first "Do it Again" video on YouTube in the newest comments about 170 from the newest comment. If you like it, would you leave a reply on the story itself? Thank you.

  60. a.... ....

    bar na now now now

  61. M.... J....

    THAT BASS THO .... it hurts me chuck

  62. D.... H....

    i saw bad brains do a crushing cover of this once in san francisco in the mid 90s.

    D.... H....

    Dan Hintz no way!

    D.... H....

    Damn that’s something to see

  63. M.... A....

    The Music Gods have ALWAYS smiled on Donald Fagen, Walter Becker, Steve Gad... Oh my God... how they smiled!!!

    M.... A....

    that's Bernie on the drums.

  64. b.... ....

    just heard this song on vinyl in person for the first time the other day at a friend's place; not sure if i'll be able to listen to it any other way from here on out

    b.... ....

    bel Yes! Wish I still had my vinyl! 😢

  65. d.... ....

    This song is F@&KIN' GREAT, and this is coming from someone who grew up listing exclusively to rap and r&b.

    d.... ....

    @889 Martin Rd if you grew up in the seventies it didn't matter if you was black white Latino whatever everybody was listening to Steely Dan these guys was phenomenal musicians

    d.... ....

    Was used in rap!

    d.... ....

    you should go BACK in time the music actually gets much BETTER?............

    d.... ....

    whats 'rap'?......and by the way R and B isnt what you think it is.......listen to Otis Redding...

    d.... ....

    Most rnb and rap songs have taken samples from their music. Listen to Black Cow and Peg.

  66. M.... W....

    Great tune.

    M.... W....

    My sentiments exactly.

  67. B.... O....

    Chuck Rainey just showing how it's done! You can keep Jaco. He never grooved like this.

    B.... O....

    Hell yeah!

  68. c.... t....

    it's in the right ear of the stereo, jesus.

  69. c.... t....

    what about the rhythm guitar!!!!!!!! listen!.

    c.... t....

    Man, someone is doin some good Chuckahz...Probably Walter Becker or Skunk Baxter.

  70. j.... ....

    Disco Dan

  71. S.... S....

    Chuck Rainey putting that work in on that Bass Guitar!!

    S.... S....

    @12groney Chuck Rainey is considered an all time great by anybody that knows. You just hang around the wrong people if you think he's underrated.

    S.... S....

    Shining Star he got that thumb muscle developed alright 👍

    S.... S....

    @Z- Man Yeah, too bad he didn't play bass on Dan or DF recordings more often in later years- he was good at it in a way most guitar players aren't.
    I've always thought that he had an excellent understanding of the function of the bass. Nothing but good notes, and no more of them than necessary. RIP.

    S.... S....

    Dude’s a straight Jedi Master with that bass.

  72. V.... M....

    The guitar solo at 2:30, Jesus, Mary & Joseph!!!!!!!!!!

    V.... M....

    Like I said I have not played this song in years .AND YES the GUITAR SOLO.👍👍👍👍👍

    V.... M....

    @Mark Denny Dias on the first one; Elliot Randall on the second one.

    V.... M....

    @Rusell Shaw He wasn't on this one, but did a killer job on Kid Charlemagne!!!

    V.... M....

    Supposedly Elliot Randall's solo on another song, 'Reelin in the Years', was Jimmy Page's favorite.

    V.... M....

    who's python boot is that?

  73. R.... C....

    The fanfare sounds like an introduction to a '70s local news show.

    R.... C....

    RC,   your onto something.   Check out Steely Dan's song    "Third World Man."

    R.... C....

    Glad someone else thinks so, that's been bugging me for years.

    R.... C....

    Likes Zappa’s Peaches in Regalia sounds like the opening of a 70s police show

    R.... C....

    "Action News with Phil Harrods and Pamela West".

    R.... C....

    Right, here in Michigan the news and local stations use Steely Freely !
