TRIVIA Beginning with their 1993 - 1994 performances, as documented in the Alive In America release, the phrase "Hey Nineteen/That's Aretha Franklin/She don't remember/Queen of Soul" was replaced with "Hey Nineteen/That's Otis Redding /She don't remember/King of Soul." While singing the song in the Two Against Nature Tour of 2000, Fagen often left the name attribution blank for the singing-along audiences to fill in, and when most of them sang "Aretha Franklin" he corrected them by saying "no, that's Otis Redding." In the 2007 Heavy Rollers Tour , Fagen has reverted back to the Aretha Franklin reference, presumably for comic effect since the veteran fans have by now been trained to shout "Otis Redding." According to the John Belushi biography, "Wired", Belushi called this one of his favorite songs. He was so inspired he even wrote a script based on the story in the song. The song was also featured on the show "Entourage" (Season 3, Episode 16, "Gotcha!"). NOTES SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
