Do you know how I know you're old?


Steve Martin sings King Tut
Originally uploaded by MDH, II.
Because you know what this is: Steve Martin singing "King Tut" on the Saturday Night Live show, in his cocaine days. With a disco temp, the early 80s still gripped the 70s.

Later, wild and crazy, then "small" then Father of the Bride. I think, perhaps, better in Parenthood wrecking the car while his wife tried to help him relax (ha ha) and wearing carpet strips for chaps -- befundling a superlogical gifted girl with the removable thumb trick.

Lou Marini as King Tut. Lou was later in another Saturday Night Live spinoff movie, Blues Brothers.

"They're sellin' you!"

Uh.. fact check. You say Steve Martin had a cocaine habit. We need a source on that--never heard it before, Google produces no obvious link. Except, of course, the quote from Roxanne: "KEEP THAT GUY AWAY FROM MY COCAINE!"
