It's Your Favorite Foreign Movie...

Oh man... for the longest time I thought this song was called 'JET' and I searched hi and lo to find out who sings it...
I Google-d nights and daze with no real real clues...
I was like on this crazy crusade to find answers this tormentuous tune repeating over and over...

Turns out... in a thousand guesses... two guesses would not even be close...
It is called Peg by Steely Dan and total thanks Lady M for guiding me in the right direction...//i.e. telling me the exact song name and artist in like a nano-second while the last notes of my personal rendition still hung in the air...//
...and now I have it...and now we can all sing along...

I've seen your picture
Your name in lights above it
This is your big debut
It's like a dream come true
And when you smile for the camera
I know they're love it
I got your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So won't you smile for the camera
I know I'll love you better
Peg
It will come back to you
Peg
It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-D
It's your favorite foreign movie

It is such a great feelin' grovey tune... in a word toetappinlicious!!!
Funny thing is when I thought it was called 'JET' it made total sense to me... now that I know the real title the song I have no idea what is going on... Is Peg the name of his wooden leg?
