  1. STEVE MARTIN AND THE TOOT UNCOMMONS
    King Tut
    1978 Canada 7” single

    A little whimsy and nostalgia to end my night before bed.

    I remember watching an old re-run of SNL as a kid where Steve Martin was dressed in pharaoh garb performing this ridiculous song. I remember saying “What the hell was THAT?!?!”

    The “uncommons” are actually members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and that SNL performance was where this was born; a completely ridiculous novelty song written about the Treasures Of Tutankhamun travelling exhibit that toured through American cities for three years (1976-1979).

    Steve Martin is a fucking genius.

  2. The widespread decommissioning of the Boeing 747 will slowly make it easier to buy a jumbo jet.

    It's pretty easy to climb inside a dog if you find the right fursuit.

    On the other hand ... the modern Renault 4 is an electric car, so would be significantly less edible.

    The rest of the activities in the "The Chicken Song" remain about as plausible as they were in the 80s.

  3. Final Novelty song that was a hit in the UK for today.

    This was another number 1, and one of the better entries in the Novelty Songs.

  4. Continuing the short series of Novelty songs that were UK chart hits. I think this annoying song was a Christmas Number one.

  5. And now, back to misty-eyed as I learn that in the same week that we lost "Fish Heads" Robert Haimler," we lost "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" Napoleon XIV.

    Somebody please check on Barry Hansen (aka Dr. Demento)!
