The album was eventually certified double platinum. It contains the hit novelty single \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eKing Tut,\u003c\/span\u003e which Martin also performed on \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSaturday Night Live.\u003c\/span\u003e It also has Martin revealing his 'real' name, which he admits is the sound of him flipping his lips. The album was released just as his celebrity status grew and the format reflects this. The first half of the album was performed in front of a small audience at The Boarding House in San Francisco, California, where his previous album had been recorded. The second half of the album was performed at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The switchover between venues is handled in a clever segue in the opening minute of the track \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Wild and Crazy Guy\u003c\/span\u003e which opened Side Two of the original vinyl long-player – Steve reads a bogus financial disclosure report to the audience at The Boarding House nightclub, and when he gets to calculating concert revenues he reveals his desire to make over $2 million on a single show; the audience reaction quickly segues from the enclosed intimacy of The Boarding House to the far more raucous open amphitheatre of Red Rocks near Denver. Martin reprises his role as Georg, one of the Czech Festrunk Brothers (a role he had popularized with Dan Aykroyd on \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSaturday Night Live\u003c\/span\u003e) on two tracks – the second half of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Wild and Crazy Guy\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eYou Naive Americans.\u003c\/span\u003e The album won the Grammy Award in 1979 for Best Comedy Album. In 2015, the album was deemed \"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\" by the Library of Congress and selected for inclusion in the National Recording Registry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793611157785,"sku":"HS-3238-2-2","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-steve_martin-a_wild_and_crazy_guy-03.jpg?v=1783553565","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/hs-3238-2-2","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
