"Stuck in the Middle" was first included on Stealers Wheel's 1972 eponymous debut album. Gerry Rafferty provided the lead vocals, with Joe Egan singing harmony. It was produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

Rafferty's lyrics are a dismissive tale of a music industry cocktail party (the clowns and jokers would be all the music executives and hangers-on).

Written and performed as a parody of Bob Dylan's style, the vocal impression, subject, and styling were so similar that listeners have wrongly attributed the song to Dylan since its release.

Here is my cover of it. I hope you enjoy it.
