“Convoy” is a 1975 novelty song performed by C. W. McCall (pseudonym of one Bill Fries) that became a number-one hit in the USA (#2 UK) and helped start a worldwide craze for citizens band (CB) radio. The song was the inspiration for the 1978 Sam Peckinpah film Convoy and remains one of the worst tunes ever composed and recorded:
As a professional music scholar, I strongly disagree with your assessment. “Convoy” is an absolute masterwork. I’ve got five C.W. McCall LPs and I cherish every one. The movie is also pretty amazing (just watched it last weekend). Around my household, October 4th is unofficial Day of the Rubber Duck.
By the way, you didn’t mention that C.W. McCall’s works (including “Convoy”) were usually produced by Chip Davis, who later went on to become the main dude in Mannheim Steamroller. Now *that’s* a tripe act (but slickly-made tripe for certain; damn Berklee syndrome.)
