Steely Dan knows:

Hey Nineteen
That’s ‘Retha Franklin
She don’t remember the Queen of Soul
It’s hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I’m crazy
But I’m just growing old

Hey Nineteen
No we got nothing in common
No we can’t talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
We can’t dance together
No we can’t talk at all

Funny story about "Hey Nineteen".

Fagen & Becker had set up their engineer friend (Elliot Sheiner) on a blind date with a young 19y/o girl - far younger than him. Obviously, the age difference created quite a "dynamic" and the song was born.
