BE: That Dildo from Yokohama

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

"She remembers looking at the sign-up sheet and seeing she has 
apparently, not fully knowing why, called Steely Dan's up-tempo ballad 
of memory and regret, 'Are You with Me Dr. Wu.'" (p. 158)

"Apartment doors are all wide open, and inside you can hear a range of 
sound tracks, including Steely Dan's 'Ain't Never Gonna Do It Without 
the Fez On.'" (pp. 368-369)

It was criticized here that Pynchon reproduces the song titles wrong, 
but I think that this wasn't done by mistake yet by purpose: The reader 
recalls the songs easier when a whole line of the lyrics is given.

Three playlists (which include also solo tracks by Donald Fagen):

A) H-Gang; Deacon Blues; Slinky Thing; I.G.Y.; Josie; Jack of Speed; The 
Great Pagoda of Funn; Babylon Sisters; The Caves of Altamira; Snowbound; 
Home at Last; Things I Miss the Most; Pretzel Logic.

B) Black Cow; Miss Marlene; Everything Must Go; Here At The Western 
World; Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More; West of 
Hollywood; Bad Sneakers; Good Stuff; Walk Between Raindrops; What I Do; 
Doctor Wu; Maxine; Almost Gothic.

C) Weather In My Head; Throw Back The Little Ones; Only a Fool Would Say 
That; The Goodbye Look; The Night Belongs To Mona; Turn That Heartbeat 
Over Again; I'm Not The Same Without You; Mary Shut The Garden Door; 
Night By Night; Kings; On the Dunes; Rose Darling.
