Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan is probably the best sleazy song to listen to.
They wrote a lot of songs from the POV of questionable characters, because they were fascinated that such songs were played in public (e.g the dentists’ or the supermarket) without anyone taking note of what the lyrics said. And also - i guess they’re just interesting? exploring different kind of peoples’ character and experiences.
At the same time, Hey 19 is supposed to capture a feeling that a lot of us feel… Just growing old. Being out of touch with your date. Distracting yourself from your malaise with a bit of dancing and hedonism.
Favourite Depressing song: No Surprises by Radiohead is the only song i actually find depressing and regularly listen to. There are a lot of other songs, some i like more, which are emo or sad in some way, but the fact that those people can sing about their feelings makes it better, a sort of triumph. Hence they don’t qualify as depressing.
