Jerome Aniton was a roadie for Steely Dan back in their touring days. He was constantly drunk, so naturally he was usually the driver (hey, this was the '70s). He was also under the impression that Steely Dan was the name of the lead singer, not the band, and couldn't be dissuaded from that view.
One 1974 night in Santa Monica, he gave the band a drawn-out, slurred intro that was captured on tape, released on the b-side of "Hey Nineteen," and later appeared on the Citizen box set.
Here we have a fan lip-synching to it.
It takes talent to look that drunk and still time all the laughs perfectly. And the night vision camera's a real nice touch.
