dbo:abstract

"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 magazine's 100 Greatest Country Songs of All Time. Written by McCall and Chip Davis, the song spent six weeks at number one on the country charts and one week at number one on the pop charts. The song went to number one in Canada as well, hitting the top of the RPM Top Singles Chart on January 24, 1976. "Convoy" also peaked at number two in the UK. The song capitalized on the fad for citizens band (CB) radio. The song was the inspiration for the 1978 Sam Peckinpah film Convoy, for which McCall rerecorded the song to fit the film's storyline. The song received newfound popularity with its use during the 2022 Freedom Convoy, to which Fries gave his approval shortly before he died. (en)

Convoy – piosenka wykonywana przez C.W. McCalla (postać współtworzoną przez Billa Friesa z ), wydana w listopadzie 1975. Utwór uzyskał 1. miejsce na amerykańskiej liście przebojów Hot 100 oraz 98. miejsce na liście 100 najlepszych piosenek country wszech czasów magazynu Rolling Stone. Piosenka stała się inspiracją dla reżysera Sama Peckinpaha do nagrania filmu Konwój (1978), dla potrzeb którego McCall ponownie nagrał piosenkę, dostosowując ją do fabuły filmu. Zwrotki piosenki składają się z dialogów stylizowanych dźwiękowo oraz językowo na porozumiewanie się kierowców poprzez CB-radio, a refren jest śpiewany. (pl)
