He came out in the outfit you see for the first music set. i have listened to, watched and loved this song since I first heard it. I went out that next day and the album! Should Martin have won an EGOT (Emmy, grammy, oscar and a tony) for his SNL performance of this song?
Steve Martin performs his funky musical parody "King Tut," which satirizes the popularity of the King Tut exhibit. Aired 05/22/78 #SNL Subscribe to SNL: http...

I remember that song! He was hilarious on SNL! He’s also a good writer. I saw him at a play a few years ago. He was in the audience.

Love that song. I got to see Steve Martin in concert in 1978.

@JohnRoberts — I did! So did a lot of other people. Balloons, too. You could tell something was funny just by looking at the queue waiting to get in!
