Lyric discussion by GreyBlueEyes 

Ok, so somebody I met recently thinks this song is about a gay man and his lover bringing home a Brazilian hunk he met.

I never thought of it that way until he said that to me. I can see it now, though.

I never liked this tune until I heard Bob Tedde from The Steely Damned (San Diego) sing it. He claims it's one of his favorites. And he sang it with such reverence and love, you couldn't help but adore the song. It was like a lullaby.

Absolutely gay inference. I love that they do this. Steely Dan is all over the map with regard to their lyrics, and I think they're brilliant. It's a wonderful song, and they treat the inference with respect and creativity. What the heck is the Custerdome?
