I'll take it back a decade ... Apparently this version, that was a hit in the UK, didn't chart in the US. The was by The Drifters, and I see that Tony Orlando also covered it in his brief solo career (although I can't find a video of that one).

The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread
HossC replied to Meadowmufn's topic in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
I actually forgot 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again' - another one with Hughie's name in the title . For this question I've been thinking 9 or 10. Since MA has taken 10, I'll try 9. -
You've set the mood now Brian. From the same era: Check out the great suits in the video. It's interesting looking at the cross-Atlantic time delay back in the '70s. The Tony Orlando & Dawn song charted in the US in '73, but '74 in the UK. Conversely, this song charted in '74 in the UK and '75 in the US.

They do on the video, they didn't on the album cover: It's a fun album. I'm glad I bought it in 1992 because I haven't seen it since. I'll continue with some more '80s pop: This was from about seven years before they bored everyone senseless by spending 15 weeks at #1 in the UK charts with their cover of 'Love is All Around' from the soundtrack to the 1994 film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'.

I've looked into it - the commercial did star Claudia Schiffer, but it was for a different French car maker; Citroën. Here is that commercial for the Citroën Xsara Coupé: The album I have it on is this one. It has some great tracks on it including (listed as 'Boss Hogg' on the album).

Tell me you've never had a few beers and found yourself singing along to Neil Diamond and I'll take your derision like a man . This song was released in 1992, but the album was recorded in mono. It could almost be a lost early Rolling Stones session.

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond Good times never seemed so good .

Despite the title, I'm gonna take things late '80s rock:

I think BL's right again, so I'll agree. I would've said 4 if you'd asked last week, because I had forgotten he was in 'Arrest Jesse Duke' until I saw it again a few days ago. -
I'll take it back to the early '60s with this one: Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen - Neil Sedaka

The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread

I used a similar method to BL. I remember Daisy definitely being in two of the episodes, so I was down to 50:50. 'To Catch a Duke' was one of the ones I had left and BL's usually right, so I'll agree. -
I've done the 'Hoggoco' logo - the only place I've used it so far is my Dukes NASCAR. I'll have to do a larger version for this thread. As for JD's other products, I'll look into doing some of them.

We may have stopped 'talking', but I've got loads more 'sweet' songs if we carry that theme on .

These signs are from the hijacked trucks in 'Road Pirates'. The globe on the 'Southern Express Co.' sign is deliberately not symmetrical because that's how it appeared in the show.

I wasn't sure of the last one until BL answered it. This one I am pretty sure of - I'm going for d) Sam and Tinker. -

Thought I'd continue the 'Rise' theme. This is a moody instrumental track that I have on a CD of music used for commercials, although I can't remember what commercial it was used for. MaryAnne, thanks for reminding me of Herb Alpert - I'll have dig my album out.

The talkin' ain't over yet Sweet Talking Candyman - The Carrie Nations From the 1970 Russ Meyer Movie 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls'.

Public Image Ltd (PiL) were formed by Sex Pistols' vocalist John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten). He now earns his money selling butter.

You can also try the more well known version by , or a '90s cover by . Sadly, I can't find Leonard Nimoy's cover online - if you want to check it out, it's on an album called Spaced Out.

HERS If we're on an intials theme.

Continuing the '80s theme ...

Season 2 starts with 'Days of Shine and Roses' and a vintage moonshining movie. It's not easy to see what Sheriff 'Spike' Loomis drives, but I'm going to plump for a 1947/48 Ford Super Deluxe (the '46 didn't have the parking lights under the headlights). The modern-day Hatchapee patrol cars are more standard 1977/78 Dodge Monacos. Sheriff Loomis's car is the one with the moonshine jugs stencilled onto the front fender!. Hazzard County gets its own 1977/78 Dodge Monacos in season 2. Although they first appeared in 'Days of Shine and Roses' I couldn't get a great picture, so this one is from 'Gold Fever'. We get a look at a Sweetwater County patrol car in 'The Ghost of General Lee', and it's another 1975/76 Dodge Coronet. This is pretty much what the Choctaw car (above) looks like with a few minor changes; the lightbar has blue lights on both sides, there are spotlights on the A-pillars, and under the Hazzard-like door badge it just says 'Sheriff'.
