We've Got A Mighty Convoy...

...trucking through the night. Help Me for God's sake, Help Me. I've got this song running through my head. I don't know where it came from. I didn't here it on the radio, I haven't been watching shitty 1970's movies. But it's there. Worse than that I only know this one line and also that there is something about a rubber ducky. What have I done to deserve this?

Maybe your latent trucker dreams ar coming to the fore since its a possible job source at this trying time? Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 I think I need a new quote, I am on the prowl, so look out for a soft cute furry looking animal, which is really a Hippo in disguise. Its probably me.

This is actually a nice song from Pet Shop Boys featuring Dusty Springfield, maybe ten years younger than the Convoy theme (the song, not Dusty ;) ) And what's wrong with Convoy? It features the Star Of The Country Heaven Kris Kristoffersen and some *huge* trucks - love it! Cheers Steen. "To claim that computer games influence children is ridiculous. If Pacman had influenced children born in the 80'ies we would see a lot of youngsters running around in dark rooms eating pills while listening to monotonous music"

FYI, the song is "Convoy" by C.W. McCall, aka Bill Fries. It was released during the height of the C.B. craze back in the 1970s. Another piece of useless trivia :)... the guy who wrote the song is Chip Davis, who went on to found the new age group Mannheim Steamroller (of "Fresh Aire" album fame). Interesting way to introduce myself ("long-time listener, first-time caller") to the Code Project crew, eh? :-D
