Chevy Chase, Walter Becker and Donald Fagon were all members of a local college band, The Leather Canary. (The Leather Canary was later renamed Steely Dan.) The Leather Canary often played at a local bar where Bob Dylan was known to hang out.
One night, Walter and Donald were singing while Chevy was playing the drums. Much to the dismay of the bar owner, Bob was dancing on the tables.
