I know, this was a song that we sang all the time. When Steve Martin hosted SNL we always expected something. In the case of this Wild and Crazy song, we got an epic!
The song was released as part of his comedy album “A wild and crazy guy.” the insert of that album was a picture of Steve Martin with a Tuna Fish. (you can tune a piano, but you can’t Tuna Fish!)
