Martin Mull: Martin Mull

The songs on Martin Mull's first album (some of which are available on his Greatest Hits album) include "Livin' Above My Station", "Partly Marion", "Eggs" "The Bag I'm In (Is Just A Package From the Package Store)" "Margie the Midget" and "Songwriter's Blues". The album has some humorous lyrics but isn't flat out comedy like his later albums.
