Persistent earworm alert LXII

In recent days, I've been hard-pressed to get Steve Martin's "King Tut" out of my mind.  I remember being amused by it when our chorus class sang it in sixth grade, but I hadn't thought about the tune much since then.  Looking back, it's funny to remember Mrs. B. playing the song on the piano and leading us in the spoken word parts--i.e. "Golden idols," "He's an Egyptian," and "He gave his life for tourism."  Although our in-class performances of "King Tut" weren't as humorous as Martin's on "Saturday Night Live," it makes me smile to think of our class singing such an offbeat tune at a young age and not being at all self-conscious about it.
