"'''Convoy'''" is a 1975 [[novelty song]] performed by [[C. W. McCall]] (a character co-created and voiced by Bill Fries, along with [[Chip Davis]]) that became a number-one song on both the country and pop charts in the US and is listed 98th among [[Rolling Stone|''Rolling Stone'' magazine]]'s 100 Greatest Country Songs of All Time.<ref>((cite magazine |date=June 1, 2014 |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/100-greatest-country-songs-of-all-time-20140601/98-c-w-mccall-convoy-1975-0211083 |title=100 Greatest Country Songs of All Time |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |accessdate=30 October 2017))</ref> Written by McCall and Chip Davis, the song spent six weeks at number one on the country charts<ref>((Cite book |title=The Billboard Book Of Top 40 Country Hits: 1944-2006, Second edition |last=Whitburn |first=Joel |author-link=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research|page=220))</ref> and one week at number one on the pop charts.

==Plot==

((Refimprove section|date=February 2023))
The song consists of three types of interspersed dialogue: a simulated [[citizens band radio|CB]] conversation with [[CB slang]], the narration of the story, and the [[refrain|chorus]]. It is about a fictional trucker rebellion that drives from the West Coast to the East Coast of the United States without stopping.<ref>((Cite news |last=Ochs |first=Meredith |date=2017-06-06 |title=How A Trucker's Protest Anthem Became A '70s Hit |work=NPR |url=https://www.npr.org/2017/06/06/531749486/the-legacy-of-convoy-how-a-trucker-s-protest-anthem-became-a-70s-hit |access-date=2023-05-04))</ref> What they are protesting (other than the [[National Maximum Speed Law|55 mph speed limit]], then recently introduced in response to the [[1973 oil crisis]]) is shown by lines such as "we tore up all of our swindle sheets" (CB slang for log sheets used to record driving hours; the term referred to the practice of falsifying entries to show that drivers were getting proper sleep when, in reality, the drivers were driving more than the prescribed number of hours before mandatory rest) and "left 'em sittin' on the scales" (CB slang for US Department of Transportation [[weigh station]]s on Interstates and highways to verify the weight of the truck and the drivers' hours of working through log books). The song also refers to toll roads: "We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll."<ref>((Cite web |last=Moore |first=Addie |date=2020-04-28 |title=How C.W. McCall's 'Convoy' Became a Cultural Phenomenon |url=https://www.wideopencountry.com/convoy-song/ |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=Wide Open Country |language=en-US))</ref>

The conversation is between "Rubber Duck", "Pig Pen", and "Sodbuster", primarily through Rubber Duck's side of the conversation. The narration and CB chatter are by McCall.<ref>((Cite magazine |last=Unterberger |first=Andrew |date=2022-04-04 |title=Forever No. 1: C.W. McCall's 'Convoy' |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/cw-mccall-convoy-forever-number-one-1235054868/ |access-date=2023-05-05 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US))</ref>

At the beginning of the song,  Rubber Duck is the "front door" (the leader) of three [[semi-trailer truck]]s ([[tractor unit|tractor]] and [[semi-trailer]]) when he realizes they have a [[convoy]]. Following the Rubber Duck, Pig Pen brings up the rear (the "back door") in a "'[[Detroit Diesel|Jimmy]]' haulin' [[pig|hog]]s" (a truck powered by a two-stroke Detroit Diesel engine-A.K.A. Screamin' Jimmy, after Detroit Diesel's then-owner [[General Motors]]<ref>((cite web |last1=Jensen |first1=James | title=Detroit Diesel - North American Diesel icon | url=http://www.dieselduck.info/historical/01%20diesel%20engine/detroit%20diesel/index.html|website=Dieselduck.info))</ref>-with a livestock semi-trailer loaded with live pigs). The two other trucks are a [[Kenworth]] pulling [[Lumber|logs]], and a cab-over [[Peterbilt]] with a "reefer" ([[Refrigerator truck|refrigerated trailer]]) attached; the lyrics are unclear which one of the two the Rubber Duck was driving (the sequel song "[['Round the World with the Rubber Duck]]" more strongly implies he indeed is driving the Peterbilt,<ref name=TechRen>

The convoy begins at night on June 6 on "I-one-oh" ([[Interstate 10|I-10]]) just outside "Shakeytown" ([[Los Angeles]], California), as the Rubber Duck informs the two trucks that "it's clean clear to Flagtown" ([[Flagstaff, Arizona]]) and that he is going to "put the hammer down" ("hammer" being the [[accelerator pedal]]) as the convoy plans to "cross the USA." By the time they get to "Tulsatown" ([[Tulsa, Oklahoma]]), there are 85 trucks and the "bears / Smokeys" ([[state police]], specifically the [[highway patrol]], who commonly wear the same [[campaign hat]]s as the [[United States Forest Service]] mascot [[Smokey Bear]]) have set up a road block on the [[cloverleaf interchange]] and have a "bear in the air" (police helicopter). The convoy moves onto [[Interstate 44]], and by the time they reach "[[Chi-town]]" ([[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]), the convoy—now 1,001 vehicles strong—includes a driver with the handle "Sodbuster", a "suicide jockey" (truck hauling explosives, in this case dynamite), and "11 [[Jesus movement|long-haired friends of Jesus]]" in a "[[Chartreuse (color)|chartreuse]] [[VW Type 2|(Volkswagen) Microbus]]".  Rubber Duck directs the Microbus behind the dynamite truck for divine protection. Meanwhile, the police have called out "reinforcements from the 'Illi-noise' ([[Illinois]]) [[Illinois National Guard|National Guard]]" and have filled the "chicken coops" ([[weigh station]]s) in an effort to stall and/or break up the convoy. Rubber Duck tells the convoy to disregard the toll as they head for the state border and continue east toward the [[New Jersey]] shore, crashing through the toll gate at ((convert|98|mph|km/h)), well above the [[National Maximum Speed Law|national 55&nbsp;mph limit in place at the time]], in the process.

The song's running gag has Rubber Duck complaining about the smell of the hogs that Pig Pen is hauling. He repeatedly asks the offending driver to "back off" (slow down). By the end, Pig Pen has fallen so far back, when Rubber Duck is in New Jersey, Pig Pen got detached from the convoy between Tulsa and Chicago and ended up in [[Omaha, Nebraska]] (a reference to the headquarters of [[American Gramaphone]], which released the song, as well as [[Bozell|Bozell & Jacobs]], who created the C. W. McCall character; Omaha is infamous for its slaughterhouses, which a truck with cargo like the hogs hauled by Pig Pen would likely head to).

==Remakes and covers==
* In 1976, a parody by Laurie Lingo & The Dipsticks entitled "Convoy GB" made #4 on the UK singles chart. The name "Laurie Lingo" is a pun; in the UK, a large truck is known as a "lorry", and thus "lorry lingo" would be "truck [[slang]]". The act actually consisted of [[BBC Radio 1]] DJs [[Dave Lee Travis]] and [[Paul Burnett]] with "The Dipsticks" being the ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' vocalists [[The Ladybirds]]. The parody used the same tune, but altered the song's lyrics to take place in the UK, with dialogue featuring Travis and Burnett as truckers "Super[[scouse]]" and "Plastic Chicken". 
* McCall himself recorded a new version of the song with saltier lyrics for the soundtrack of the 1978 film ''[[Convoy (1978 film)|Convoy]]''. McCall also made two additional re-recordings of the original song, one for his 1990 album ''[[The Real McCall: An American Storyteller]]'', and the other for the 2003 [[Mannheim Steamroller]] album ''[[American Spirit (album)|American Spirit]]''.((citation needed|date=October 2013))
* Another parody, "Chat Room", was produced by [[Bob Rivers]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.bobrivers.com/#v8496 |title=The Bob Rivers Show with Bob Spike and Joe |accessdate=2011-10-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111023005042/http://www.bobrivers.com/#v8496 |archive-date=2011-10-23 ))</ref>
* In 1981, rap artist [[Blowfly (musician)|Blowfly]] recorded a [[dirty rap]] version of the song on his album ''Rappin Dancing and Laughin''. This seven-minute version, describes an all-black convoy of [[strikebreaker]]s delivering Blowfly's album to New York City, concludes with a list of vulgar slang terms arranged in alphabetical order and a dialogue between Blowfly and his alter ego, Clarence Reid.((citation needed|date=October 2013))
* In 1990, Karen and Wade Sheeler recorded a parody called "Car Phone", which later appeared on the ''[[Dr. Demento 25th Anniversary Collection]]''.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.cw-mccall.com/works/passing_lane/car_phone.html |title=Sheeler and Sheeler: Car Phone |accessdate=2017-08-27))</ref>
