Duit on Mon Dei is the eleventh album by Harry Nilsson. The original title for this album was God's Greatest Hits but RCA didn't approve. The title is a punning spelling of "Do It On Monday," playing on the British Monarchy's motto Dieu et mon droit (God and my right). The pun was originally used on the cover of Ringo Starr's 1973 album Ringo.
Duit on Mon Dei marks the first time Nilsson acted as his own producer. Due to the record's eclectic sonics, critic Robert Christgau (negatively) likened Nilsson's production style to "an audio salesman".[4] Despite mixed reception upon release, The A.V. Club retrospectively dubbed Duit on Mon Dei "vastly underrated".[5]
All songs written by Harry Nilsson, except where noted
The 8-track tape version (RCA APS1-0817) included excerpts from "Salmon Falls" placed throughout Programs 1 and 2, and then in full length at the beginning of Program 3, as well as "Turn Out The Light (Reprise)" closing the album at the end of Program 4. None of the excerpted versions of "Salmon Falls" or "Turn Out The Light (Reprise)" appear on any other format of the album, nor are there any such versions included with compilation albums or non-album singles:
