Now why the hell would I want to increase the volume of my ejaculation ? They can already hear me in the apartment next door.
Donald FagenIt's great to know that our old stuff still sounds good to our fans, just as it's wonderful to think that we've turned a few people on to jazz over the years.
Donald FagenWe don't think of ourselves as being perfectionists, really. To us it's more about desperately trying to have it sound more or less OK.
Donald FagenMelodies can be good depending on the context. You can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. You can also have a complex melody. The more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. You could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
