Back in 1974, Steve Goodman and Jimmy Buffett collaborated on a song dealing with the effervescent and zany TV show “Let’s Make A Deal.” Both Goodman and Buffett recorded “Door Number Three” and I’ve chosen the latter’s version for our special tribute. Goodman's version, however, is somewhat lyrically different.
Appearing on Jimmy Buffett’s fifth album, “A1A,” “Door Number Three” was released as a single in July 1975 and peaked at 88 on Billboard’s Hot Country chart. The musicians were loosely arranged in a unit called the Third Coral Reefer Band.
Rest in Peace Monty – let’s hope you got the prize.
I prefer Steve Goodman's version cuz he drops in beautifully a few lines from Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone":
ReplyDeleteAnd ain't it hard to realize
He's not selling' any alibis
When he stares into the vacuum of your eyes
And he asks you, "Do you wanna make a deal?"
Personally, I like Goodman's version better too, but chose this one as it is better known. Thanks. Jim
DeleteI really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
