Steve Martin - Grandmother's Song

[jfhburr123]

Steve Martin is a total nut. I use to have this comedy album when I was a teenager.

[AncientRome87]

and of course my dad DOES criticize things he doesnt know about! hehe! my sister hates the "have your knees removed" part cuz she has very sensitive knees! sorry that was random! my favorite is put a live chicken in your underwear!

[AncientRome87]

My dad would sing this while we drove places, and at resturants, and mostly everywhere! it cracked me up! i'm so glad i found steve singing it! although both versions are funny!

[foobula]

[LCFlowercandy]

Cruel Shoes.

[FishHead1991]

Dear Lord, "Live in a swamp and be three dimensional" Oh God. Steve Martin predicted Shrek.

[viall4diabetes]

His book, Let's Get Small, is a great look at how a comedian is made.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

others have posted from that 1979 video...but not the video of this song (which is slightly different)

[thaicedtea666]

be pompous obese and eat cactus!

[kkuchenb]

I haven't heard this in years, and I still knew all the words. Ha. I wore out this 8-track tape in the 1970s. He is absurdly talented and funny. Shame he does so many bad movies now.

[proudtemplar]

When I was a kid, I wore out this entire tape. Good times good times.......

[Weltar]

I hate that people laughtin when he talked!

[funnygirley]

he sucks and no funny one bit, he turned the pink panther to crap

[emaleroland]

And yet he's loved all over the world and makes a lot more than you, funnygirley, if that is your real name. *sheesh*

[banjerbruce777]

Sounds like you're just jealous because he can do practically everything. You also actually have to have a sense of humor to understand his comedy.

[JaymzLea]

"Criticize things you don't know about"

Yeah

[MazBee]

it takes balls to do something so mental on live tv. Love it

[fhussain44]

His interview on NPR Fresh Air on Jan 2, 09 was very interesting

[derfsanderson]

"she used to sing me a little song when i was high"

[THNKDESIGN]

i think it is "when I was so high".... as in you can't see it, but probably a visual reference to height.

[TedinLasVegas]

I wish you'd put the whole album up!

[RaintreeLDS]

Another Straight Arrow Award for the S N L banjo player.

[Kingdom1990]

man ur one kind man!!!!

ur God bless u so much Steve!!!!

[Hotspur21]

hifuckinglarious!

[Microsizeme]

He has a book now. So proud.

[mseales]

He has many books.

[mintyfresh2233]

lol i love this its hilarious

[curtmath]

Does anyone remember the one about Jimmy Carter with a banjo? It was hilarious, but I can't find it.

[skatejones]

My dad always says/sings "be pompous, obese and eat cactus" whenever any of those three nouns is said...never knew it was Steve's song!

[milwrong]

Steve at his best! When was the last time you heard a comic rally an audience like that? They just don't make them like this today!

[musichopper]

wait a minute... live in a swamp and be 3D... is that how they though to make Shrek?

[reving19]

"Criticize things you don't know about..."

They used to play this on the old KILT AM (before it went country and then a sports station) in Houston when I was growing up. I laughed at it then and I laugh at it now. Thanks for posting.

[1200bestever]

The sing along part was the best!!! This could have been a song from Phish. It's weird enough! I like when he's on Letterman. They have a great rapport.

[8mycrab]

I love this song.

So silly and fun.

[lisadarn]

I haven't heard this since the 80's, but it still floats through my head every now and then. So glad to hear it once more!

[mmmradishes]

thanks for posting. haven't heard this since high school. still love random and pointless humour.

[tropicjester12]

used to listen to this on my brothers eight track,ohhhh im feeling old haha

[hottierottie]

I still have the 8 track lol

[TheBlueFlamingo]

Ahh... that takes me back.  Thanks! I love that song!

[zach15749]

I hate people who don't like Steve Martin, he's hilarious.

[OnreilFarth]

Yeah, I have a friend who thinks he's just stupid, but I love his comedy.

[spectrum7virkeytroni]

I agree that "he's hilarious". But that's a really bizarre criterion on which to decide which people you "hate".

[brophala]

*ahem*

Criterium.

[Miketheprofessor]

Brophala:

A "criterium" is a bike race; a "criterion", as used by spectrum7, is the correct word.

[brophala]

Yeah I used to be an idiot :P

[planetchinchilla]

are you making or have you made any more video shorts like your chekov/Desalle one?Any new ones?

[apple1940]

Put a live chicken in your underwear! Wow, he was sooo funny....glad I am old enough to have seen him 'way back when!

[Lordpenguin4]

!THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!

This album is amazing. Could you perhaps post some other bits from it?

[oilcan1000]

Be oblong and have your knees removed. lol!!!

[planetchinchilla]
