Title: If you don't like Trucking, tough luck!
Post by: ArithonUK on September 09, 2011, 10:10:21 AM
Every time we are on the "Cold War" map and I get the truck rolling I burst into the chorus of "I like trucking" on Team Speak - so what's all that about then?

Well, when I were a lad (oh around 1982 or so) there was a near-the-knuckle comedy programme on BBC2 at 9 O'Clock (the same time as the main news aired on BBC1) called "Not the Nine O'Clock news" - this program featured tits, vomit, hedgehog sandwiches (buy the record) and yep, the "Trucking song".

See below. Watch out for them breaking their teeth on a Yorkie, the hedgehog sandwich and the "ride for a ride" line, that went right over my 13-year-old head at the time!

Ah nostalgia, it's not what it used to be!

This was broadcast in 1979, an era when saying "Bum" on tele would get massive complaints .

I remember that song well, in fact the song "Kinda Lingers".

Who remembers that song and were as amazed as me that it got passed the censors.

Quote from: smilodon;332590I remember that song well, in fact the song "Kinda Lingers".

I remember "Don't say goodbye, say Kinda Lingers" and everyone in the playground singing it the next day at school and the horrified reactions of teachers. I had no idea until much later that it sounds (when sung) like Cunnilingus and what that actually means. Imagine for a moment, around seventy 11-13 year old children singing it....

And they think "Dick and Dom" are edgy!

Yea, I'd forgotten about "Kinda Lingers", I found the american express sketch on youtube, that was a bit daring as well.

Just shows how ahead of its time it really was.

Nobody has referenced Constable Savage yet, surprising.
