20. NUCLEAR "DON": The Lyrical PERFECTION of Donald Fagen's "New Frontier"

BECOME A PATRON, GET COOL THINGS:   / lyricstogo   EPISODE 20: In the premiere instalment of L2G's Anatomy Of A Perfect Lyric series, I get deep—and I mean DEEP—into one of the most impeccable lyrics ever: "New Frontier" from Donald Fagen's solo debut The Nightfly, about partying down in a Cold War fallout shelter. Warning: nuclear-level nerd energy. Cameos by Prince, Fishbone, R.E.M., "Weird Al" Yankovic, a raft of YouTube Fagenites, and The Big Lebowski's Walter Sobchak. LYRICS TO GO is your one-stop shop for all things lyrical. Hosted by award-winning theatre lyricist Daniel Maté, L2G's righteous mission is to rid the world of the phrase "Oh, I don't listen to the lyrics." THANK YOU for watching and supporting Lyrics To Go!
