Did you catch Steely Dans' Dirty Work?

In the film. I brought a friend for the showing, and as soon as Stone started the first chord he whispered "Oh, Dirty Work!". 

Maybe it's a famous Steely Dan song(?) but I was damn impressed. Well, at least I'm not the only one who didn't catch it...

    I knew the song but didn't know the band.  Steely Dan is a weird one for me since they seemed to be popular with the critics but I could never think of one of their songs.

    I laughed that Stone of course would have them playing some 70s groove

    I knew it instantly. It's one of my favorites by them.
     @bootlegger10 they have a massive catalogue of songs.  I guarantee you've heard many of them.

    I think they should add this as a cover ASAP. Let Stone and Ed do the chorus together.

    Would have been really funny if that would have been a "Wrigley branded" holiday single. Haha.

    I know I’m getting older, because whenever I hear Steely Dan, I cringe a little less.
