Car 67

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Car 67" is a pop song by Driver 67 that appeared in the UK Single Chart in December 1978. It was written by Paul Phillips and Pete Zorn and was sung by Paul Phillips. The song is a ballad revolving around a Taxicab driver who had split up with his girlfriend the previous day and how he was balking at doing a particular pick-up (who unbeknownst to the controller was the woman in question). The song is arranged as the taxi driver singing the lyrics, interspersed with the voice of the taxi controller. The taxi controller had a distinctive West Midlands accent.
