"Bad Sneakers" is a song by jazz rock band Steely Dan. It was released as the second track on their 1975 album Katy Lied.[1]
It also appears on the compilation albums A Decade of Steely Dan[2] and Citizen Steely Dan (Disc Two of four).
While it was never released as a single, producer Gary Katz later regretted not suggesting it as one.[3]
Michael McDonald's vocals on the song are one of his first for the band;[4] he would continue to perform background vocals for the band in recordings until 1980.[5]
The alternative band The Push Stars covered the song for the Me, Myself, and Irene soundtrack.
