Convoy (Excerpt)
Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon
Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon
Uh, yeah, that's a big 10-4 Pig-Pen,
Yeah, we definitely got us the front door good buddy
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy ...

C.W. McCall's Convoy
A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
Convoy is a 1975 novelty song performed by C. W. McCall (pseudonym of Bill Fries) that became a number-one rated success in the USA (#2 UK) and helped start a fad for citizens band (CB) radio. The song was the inspiration for the 1978 Sam Peckinpah film Convoy. The convoy begins toward "Flagtown" (Flagstaff, Arizona) at night on June 6 on "I-one-oh" (I-10) just outside "Shakytown" (Los Angeles, California, due to its earth tremors). By the time they get to "Tulsatown" (Tulsa, Oklahoma), there are 85 trucks and the "bears" (police) have set up a road block and have a "bear in the air" (police helicopter). By the time they get to "Chi-town" (Chicago, Illinois), the convoy has been joined by "Sodbuster" (another trucker in an unspecified make of truck), a "suicide jockey" (truck hauling explosives) and "eleven long-haired friends of Jesus (11 hippies) in a chartreuse microbus" (a Volkswagen Type 2), and the police have called out "reinforcements from the 'Illinois' (Illinois) National Guard." The convoy crashes another road block when crossing a toll bridge into New Jersey, and by this time they have "a thousand screamin' trucks" in all.
Convoy Trivia:
After the screenplay of Convoy was written, Bill Fries (aka C.W. McCall) recorded a new version of the song, with lyrics that incorporated the characters and events of the film. This version plays during the final film credits.
