Any Major Dude Will Tell You

This is a song I like off the Steely Dan album, “Pretzel Logic.” I read somewhere that the lyrics were inspired by a drug dealer, who when selling pot to someone in the studio and being questioned if it was any good, his reply was, “Any major dude will tell you I only sell primo weed.” After that every sentence for that recording session started being prefaced with, “Any major dude...” for a laugh, like, “Okay, any major dude will tell you we should try and get the next solo in one take,” and that’s how this song was born. Of course it could just be an urban legend, but it’s a good story. Here’s the song:

I just love those urban legends.
