King Tut" is a song performed by Steve Martin and the Toot Uncommons (actually members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band). It was released as a single in 1978, sold over a million copies, and reached number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Steve Martin previewed the song in a live performance during the April 22, 1978 episode of Saturday Night Live.
In the book Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live, authors Doug Hill and Jeff Weingrad write that the sketch was one of the most expensive productions the show had attempted up to that point.
Check back with TootsUncommon tomorrow for its most exciting announcement of the jeweled Tut The Tank!!
