Actually, back in 74 I think it was, Steve came over to my home recording studio on Thomson Street in Manhattan and recorded his original version- very different than this one..! It had a lot of impact then! I see he has updated it to include the Exxon Valdez!
I had the small 45 single too. I think they gave it to us at sam the record man in toronto with any purchase. I might still have it mixed up in my moms records. Cool stuff
I'm for oil :D
Drill it up spill it out!!!!

Looks like Steve Forbert's "The Oil Song" has been revised to include the recent oil spill from it's original recording in 1977!
