Turning mercury into gold?

Sorry, could't resist, not sorry

A one hit wonder of sorts (although he wrote Daydream Believer for the Monkees), he got Stevie Nicks to do backing vocals on this classic: JOHN STEWART ft. Stevie Nicks - Gold (1979) HD

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heartbeat in time with my breathing

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

Ah, my buddy Jim Bass, he's a-working pumping gas
And he makes two-fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower

Driving over Kanan, singing to his soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

Ah, California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singing right to me, I can hear the melody
Story is there for the taking

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
There's people out there turning music into gold

(Ooh)

My first thought as well.
