Wild and crazy commedian Steve Martin hit No. 17 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart with this funky 1978 ode to "The Boy King." I remember staying up late to watch my comedic idol perform "King Tut," dressed in Egyptian regalia on Saturday Night Live. I found this vinyl rarity at the record store last night and just had to have it. The backup band, the Toot Uncommons, is the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
the reissue has the b side of an edited version of EXSCUSE ME

The last time I heard this was 1979 :) I just looked it up on youtube now because I visited the real king tut in Cairo last week and his real tomb in Luxor today. Thanks for posting :)
