Wow, I never knew Truck Drivin' Song was a style parody of a particular artist...I always thought it was just a spoof of country music in general.
I can see the similarities...and Dave Dudley even sang a song called "Truck Drivin' Son of a Gun."
Thanks for that info, Jon!

Actually, he calls it "Truck Drivin' Son of Gun." He just says the last part quickly.Monkeytender @ September 14, 2009 05:13 pm wrote: Not only that, he calls it the "Truck Driving Song".

Wow. Not only managed to take the "funny" out of a funny song, but also the "song" part.Mystik Tomato wrote:Discuss.

Re: Truck Drivin' Song
I really like this song. Al's vocals in it is marvellous! If compared to, for instance, "She drives like crazy"- it becomes clear that Al has a great vocal range!
And also I used this song to introduce Al to my best friend (she is a part of LGBT community and has a great sense of humor
) and it's her favourite Al's song now (well, I can't say she's a big fan, but she enjoys some of his work and certainly doesn't mind me talking about Al all the time
).

Re: Truck Drivin' Song
Try explaining this song to your 8 year old daughter. She actually listened to it for the first time I guess the other day in the car. I know it has played before in the past when we would listen to Al tunes but this day she is paying close attention to the songs and asks about it. I just told her it was about a guy who drives a big rig truck while obviously being dressed in women's clothing.

Okay, so you explained it to her perfectly with no problem at all? I don't get the issue.hungerfan wrote:Try explaining this song to your 8 year old daughter... I just told her it was about a guy who drives a big rig truck while obviously being dressed in women's clothing.
