...yes, of course. The sound heard overdubbed over Hendrix's main riff in Cross Town traffic is actually the sound of somebody blowing on the cellophane from a cigarette pack to produce a kazoo like sound.

'Desperado' by The Eagles was never released as a single. be seeing you Technically, that's not quite true. It is true that at the time the "DESPERADO" album was released, only "Tequila Sunrise" & "Outlaw Man" were released as singles. But years later, in the '80s, when most major record labels were reissuing past hit songs on "back-to-back hit gold 45's"..... Elektra / Asylum paired "Desperado" with one of Eagles' hit singles. I want to say it was "Hotel California" or "New Kid In Town". But I'm not positive of that. During that time period, that same thing happened with a few more popular album tracks that had not been released as singles before. Four others that the same thing happened to that I recall having were Jim Croce's "Lover's Cross" & "Age" (both from "I GOT A NAME"), Bee Gees' "More Than A Woman" (from "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER") & AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". |

On the 1978 Top-20 novelty single, "King Tut", by Steve Martin & The Toot Uncommons..........
The Toot Uncommons were actually The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. (Although that was the brief time period when they were calling themselves only The Dirt Band). |
