Johnny Horton, who is better known for 'Honky Tonk Man' (also covered by Yoakham!) recorded the song, as used for the film of the same name, but I prefer Dwights

This is the film introduction, with the lyrics appropriate to the film
The scene was at White Sands, which is now in military hands, as a testing ground (or was)
The UK single release bore no relationship, particularly in the trucks mentioned at the beginning
McCall wrote extra verses, for quite a few of the films sections

Even after 40 years, it's still one of my favourite films, along with Smokey & The Bandit (the first one)
Can you believe that!
EDIT @ 11:00
There is a chap, down south, who has built/owns absolutely spot-on replicas of 'Ducks' Mack RS700L, & 'Snowmans' W900!!
I'm hoping they're both at Truckfest, at Newark-upon-Trent, in October

Rock Around The Clock
Bill Hayley & The Comets
A double?
There was a film by that name, & it was used as the opening song (one of many fantastic tracks!) for 'American Graffiti'
Again, one of my favourite films, & one that brought a few names to prominance
Try to spot;
Harrison Ford (his first feature film?)
Charles Martin Smith
Ron Howard (ginger kid, in 'Happy Days')
Richard Dreyfuss (Close Encounters)
And, best of all................ Wolfman Jack
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjSUabFlpnA
Plus, those wonderful cars
Milners 'piss-yellow/puke-green' Deuce
Falfas black '55, which was the same car, used in 'Two Lane Blacktop', but in grey primer, & running a '454' cubic inch!!!
Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys) & James Taylor (Fire & Rain) were the two stars
EDIT @ 10:55
Dreyfuss, Smith & Howard feature here

Just Good Ol Boys
Cor, Daisy
The real Daisy, not that pretender Simpson woman
Although, April Scott, in the prequel, was pretty cute
