So funny! And the cough at the end of a long note about quitting smoking is perfect. I don't know why people think he's being sarcastic with songs like this. I think he just has a gleeful sense of humor. The fat cat in the Everybody Loves Me Baby video should be part of this too, beside Don. Perfect tongue in cheek humor.

')) They say im in my prime ;)) Like someone in his prime should need other to tell him so ;)) its classic

[jfq722]

that's a fact. There'll never be another one like him.

this song is from about '77 FA stage (as you put it) was '74 and is only related to the song 'Wonderful baby'. But fyi.. this song is meant to be funny ;))

Is this when he went through his Fred Astaire stage?

This guy wrote scores of funny, sarcastic songs, and it's hard to find them on youtube or in music stores. Glad this is here.

[jmbsol]

hilarious indeed. Only Don could/would write a song like this.

I'm 36, and loved Don since the '70s, thanks to one of my older brothers, who taught himself to play virtually every one of his songs on guitar. He'd play and I'd sing

I LOVE this song, it's hilarious!

The "SOLO" album is pure art too

I LOVE THIS SONG. I have the CD "Prime Time". Don McLean is the man. I got his autograph twice!
