Driver 67

"Car 67" is a novelty song by 'Driver 67' released in November 1978. It was in the UK Singles Chart for twelve weeks, reaching a high of No. 7 in February 1979. The song is a ballad revolving around a cab driver who had split up with his girlfriend the previous day and how he is refusing to make a particular pick-up at 83 Royal Gardens (the passenger, unbeknownst to the controller, is the woman in question). The song is arranged as the taxi driver singing the lyrics, interspersed with the voice of the taxi controller; the latter of whom has a distinctive West Midlands accent. more »
