Slinky Thing

"Slinky Thing" is a song by Donald Fagen, appearing as the first track from his album, Sunken Condos. Telling the story of an older man seeking the affection and companionship of a significantly younger woman, the song details the events surrounding the two as they spend time together and endure comments made by others, who advise the narrator to "hold on to that slinky thing." The narrator himself thinks about if "she (the younger woman) needs somebody who's closer to her own age."

The song draws similarities with the Steely Dan songs Hey Nineteen and Janie Runaway, also about older men seeking relationships with younger women.[1]

gollark: I have nothing to buy which can't be achieved in less time by ***trading***.
gollark: Honestly, I think the current value is either:- kind of misrepresented- perpetuated by possibly accidental price fixing
gollark: I doubt the rate is higher than 60/month.
gollark: I'd probably just breed entirely with celestials (multiclutch) and then either trade them for CB hatchlings or offer them at random for funlolz.
gollark: For golds.
