On the 1978 Top-20 novelty single, "King Tut", by Steve Martin & The Toot Uncommons..........

The Toot Uncommons were actually The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

(Although that was the brief time period when they were calling themselves only The Dirt Band).

'Desperado' by The Eagles was never released as a single. be seeing you


Technically, that's not quite true.

It is true that at the time the "DESPERADO" album was released,
only "Tequila Sunrise" & "Outlaw Man" were released as singles.

But years later, in the '80s, when most major record labels were
reissuing past hit songs on "back-to-back hit gold 45's".....

Elektra / Asylum paired "Desperado" with one of Eagles' hit singles.
I want to say it was "Hotel California" or "New Kid In Town".
But I'm not positive of that.

During that time period, that same thing happened with a few more
popular album tracks that had not been released as singles before.

Four others that the same thing happened to that I recall having
were Jim Croce's "Lover's Cross" & "Age" (both from "I GOT A NAME"),
Bee Gees' "More Than A Woman" (from "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER") &
AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".

Whatcha gonna do with a cowboy,
When that old rooster crows at dawn
An he's lyin' there instead
of gettin' outta bed
an gettin' on his boots an gettin' gone.

I don't remember who sings that, but ever since I got the sign on my door, I can't get that song out of my head.

You would be hard pressed to name about any Classic Rock
or anything in the '70s that I don't like.

Or have, for that matter.
I've been a serious music collector for years.

Yes I did. Honest!!!

OK.........I admit that it wasn't my mirror.
It was a mirror in a store.

But the store clerk showed me a 100 per cent guarantee
that it would correctly reflect the person looking into it.

Thanks to everyone so far.

I am somewhat known for my sense of humor.
(Not that that's always a good thing). pitchfork

I've been a stage actor in this area for years,
so I can usually be creative with words when I need to be.

As a matter of fact, I've been depending on words
ever since I was old enough to talk. noway
