unusual facts about Rowan and Martin



On the Border

Barely audible at the end of the song, Glenn Frey can be heard whispering "Say Goodnight, Dick," a line made famous by Dan Rowan of Rowan and Martin but in this case referring to Richard Nixon's resignation.

Roddy Maude-Roxby

He has also made theatrical and television appearances (i.e.The Goodies, Rowan and Martin's Laugh In, Not Only But Also, and The Establishment).

Shorty Long

The song was inspired by a comic act on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In about a judge by Pigmeat Markham, whose own "Here Comes the Judge" (a totally different song) charted two weeks after Long's did in June 1968, and became a Top 20 hit.
