You will remember "Spirit in the Sky" as a major hit for Greenbaum. His second 45 release didn't do so well but it's a cute song. Sorry, no video, but please enjoy the music!

Good canned hams are....NOT SPAM ! The ones that are perishable and found in the store refrigerator are actually better than the smoked hams and pork butts found in clear wrappers and nets with the bone in. Those are too salty, fatty, have a thick layer of gristle around them and a big bone, making it hard to carve....and they are more expensive ! These good canned hams are a pure piece of cured ham meat, and are skinless, boneless, 97% fat-free and never mushy or grey in color when cooked, like the shelf-stable ones that are way too over processed and are SPAM quality ham products. Their brands are Dak, Plumrose and Celebrity. I am a big fan of the canned (perishable) ones like from the brands Armour, Hormel and Dubuque; (available in 3 lb. and 5 lb. sizes.) In fact, because they are salted, cured and contain preservatives, remain fresh and edible a full year after the expiration date ! You should rinse it well, score on top in an "X" pattern cross-hatch and glaze with a jarred good ham glaze. I add a little mustard, honey, soy sauce and white pepper to it and spread it generously all over the top and sides. Now bake at around 450 degrees until it becomes crispy around the sides and the glaze bubbles. I like it very well done and a bit charred ! It is a great buffet table favorite, sliced thin for sandwiches, or sliced thick as a cutlet-style piece of meat with potatoes. Placed in the refrigerator, it is even better cold in salads, antipastos, sandwiches and so on ! Not to mention, these hams feed a lot of people and are economical.....and absolutely delicious !

@cinnamon girl ....Slinky music, kinky lyrics... No harm in putting a critique in a wok and jostling the letters around a bit and coming up with something better.

We covered this in the Sounds of Tyme, a garage band I was a member of in Paramount, Calif., circa 1970-'72.

This one just dawned on me. Kind of a novelty tune compared to "Spirit In The Sky".

On this day in 1970 {August 1st} Norman Greenbaum performed "Canned Ham" on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... One month earlier on June 13th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #46 and spent 6 weeks on the Top 100 chart... Earlier in 1970 his hit "Spirit in the Sky" reached #3 and was a two million seller... R.I.P. Mr. Clark...
