C.W. McCall had a number 1 hit in 1975 called Convoy.
But he wasn't just a one-hit wonder. He had other more minor hits too and this was one of them. A little ditty called "Crispy Critters" which made it to #32 on the Country Charts back in 1976.
This performance is from the TV show "Hee Haw" which sure does bring back some childhood memories for me.
Cow Patti would approve.
As for C.W. McCall (nee: Bill Fries), a.k.a. The Rubber Duck, he's still alive and kicking today at the age of 87.
Who knows what I will post next on the Free Republic!
In the meantime, I'm going to back on out of here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your tail. I'll catch you on the flip-flop. This here's the Rubber Duck and I ain't going to pay no toll.
Later and thanks
The Japanese and Russian voices in that are great! Even the Brits helping them...then storming the beach!
"There won't be no country music, there won't be no rock and roll, 'cause when they take away our country they'll take away our soul."
C. W. McCall could see the future, and the future is now. Although the environmental activism message of the song I'm referencing here are a little extreme (IMHO), the point of the song title has been pretty well much made. Plus the instrumental aspects of the song still give me shivers (a few tubular bells tossed in, for instance). God help us.
My fave is Wolf Creek Pass. “THe sign said clearance to the 12 foot line, but those chickens were stacked to 13 9.”
