Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen - Mamma Hated Diesels

[Lazydawg58]

I always loved this one. I got to thinking about it after hearing Willin on Pandora, had to pull it up. I think it's the best truck driving song. Now I am forcing my 16 year old daughter and wife to listen after I tried to sing it to them myself. They are not impressed, their loss. :>)

@Lazydawg58 I agree this is one of the best truck drivin' songs ever

@Lazydawg58 My oldest Son asked me to burn him a trucker cd... Ya cant get any better than the Commander!

look at the BLOODHOUND GANG song called "The lap dance is always better when the stripper is crying" its almost a dead knockoff

My dad used to be in a band in the 70s, they used to play this song. I can't decide if I like Commander Cody's or my Dad's voice better....

The truck on the album cover belonged to Johnny Eger Trucking, Cloverdale, CA

@jlsutherland01 One of my favorites too

This song tops Six Days on the Road as the best trucker song ever.

[pecvillian]

@Wormtongue13 I agree

[Wormtongue13]

@pecvillian Request: Do you have a copy of "Them Old Kentucky Hills Of Tennessee" that you can put up on youtube? I've got the vinyl but would love to be able to share that one through this inter-tube thingy, and you've obviously mastered the technology of getting the sound to come out right on here. Thanks!

[pecvillian]

@Wormtongue13 I can do that. It might take me a day or two.
