6 Days On The Road - Day 2

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

My week of TRUCKIN SONGS (despite PUNY response to Day 1) goes on with

Dell O'Day - "Diesel Smoke (Dangerous Curves)"

Somewhat of a trucker standard, this song presents the twin perils of i) sharp bends and ii) WUMMEN with one flexible metaphor. Dell O'Day's version is my favourite because of the guitar sound FX and the mounting sense of panic.

Keep on truckin, good buddies.

That's a 10-4 good buddy.

(i.e. yes.)

(I don't actually know any trucker speak other than "10-4". I might mean "10-7" or "7-11" or "54-46 was my number")
