Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 06, 2012
Transcript:
Student: It's from 1975, so I guess it's classical. It's a song about truck drivers monkeying around on these new things called... c.b. radios! It's pretty funny. I'll text you the link. Frazz: Speaking of funny, texting the song "Convoy" is like faxing a cave painting. Mr. Spaetzle: Thanks, Frazz. Now I don't have to spend the rest of my day wondering if anybody will say something that reminds me how old I am. Student: What on earth is "faxing"?

Convoy by C.W. McCall. It was one of the first 45s I ever purchased!
It was the dark of the moon on the 6th of June. A Kenworth hauling logs. Cabover Pete with a refer on. And a Jimmy hauling hogs.
