Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen (album Caucho) 12 August - 2006

Gaucho is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released by MCA Records on November 21, 1980.

                                                                   "Hey Nineteen"

According to one reviewer's interpretation, the song "was about a middle-aged man's disappointment with a young lover".

The lyrics are about an aging hipster attempting to pick up a girl who is so young that she does not recognize "'Retha Franklin" playing on the stereo. The song closes with the ambiguous line, "The Cuervo Gold, the fine Colombian, make tonight a wonderful thing," leaving the listener to decide whether the narrator is consuming tequila and drugs with the love interest, or if he is in fact alone........
