“The Intro and the Outro” is a 1967 song by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band in which they introduce people playing on it, some real (and performing), some imaginary, and some real (living and dead) but not on the record. That really is Eric Clapton on ukelele. This is a list with backgrounds of everyone allegedly on the track. This was the first usage of the word “outro” – see the Oxford English Dictionary entry below.
I have seen three of the real people in person:
Eric Clapton 7/5/74 in concert in Pittsburgh
“Legs” Larry Smith 7/5/74 performed before Clapton
Liberace – summer of 1974 when he visited St. Francis Medical Center in Pittsburgh. I worked there picking up trash for a week through Manpower and saw him at a distance.
Sad!
