Today’s song is Car 67 by Driver 67

(Car 67, car 67, where are you?)
(Come in 67, 67, can you hear me?)

Hey Control, this is 67 here
I can hear you loud and I can hear you clear, yeah
Control, this is 67 here
I can hear you loud and I can hear you clear, yeah

(Good morning 67, good morning
Bit of a late start, isn’t it?)

Is there something that you want me to do-ooh, yeah
(Yes, we have a job for you)
You know I’m only here to please you-ooh
(We want you to pick up a young lady at 83 Royal Gardens)

Control have mercy on me
I don’t wanna do the pick-up, isn’t anybody else free?
Stuck in a jam in a one-way street
Why don’t you tell her she’d be quicker if she used her feet, yeah

(You must be joking 67)
(Now, come on I must have a time for the pick-up)

Classic novelty record time - a song made from the radio traffic of a mini-cab driver and his base control. It shouldn’t work, but somehow it does. It’s up there on my list of all time favourites - but I’m not sure I really know why.
