Obscure Musical Lyric for the week of Oct.20/08

Good morning music fans, I trust you had a wonderful weekend. What gorgeous days we had. I spent the entire weekend with my daughter. My beloved is still in NY, NY and she is having "the time of her life" with one of her closest girlfriends and a bunch of people she doesn't know and one of Alex's teachers. She will be home tonight and I have missed her.

I have not heard this song in a long time. I may have heard parts of it now and then, but cannot recall hearing all of it in years. I actually just watched and listened on "youtube" and will post that version in the big reveal. It is sung by a solo artist who has a band and has worked with numerous famous musicians. I am a fan of some of this person's work. I am particularly enthralled with their voice. The song was released on an album in 1971, yes I know that was a long time ago and the artist still tours. Rick Wakeman (of Yes) played piano on this song and apparently the song is a parody of "My Way" which all of us know was written by Paul Anka and made famous by Frank Sinatra. Interestingly, the lyrics could have been written today.

Look at those caveman go

It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

wonder if they'll ever know

They're in the best selling show

I would like to know the following:

The name of the song:

The writer of the song:

The name of the album it was on:

Have a wonderful week. It looks like the cool days (and cold nights) of fall are here to stay . All things must pass and so must summer pass into fall. I'm looking forward to my beloved returning tonight and hearing all about the "big apple". I will give you some more hints about the song on Wednesday if I remember. Does anybody really know what time it is? Have a great week everyone.
